It certainly is and to wrap it up vs Saints makes it even sweeter.

I'd even try to lock the away end up so they've gotta watch it.

as a long term wire fan and season ticket holder i just felt it was also *disrespecting* to all of the wire fans who travelled down,what a waste of money!ive seen quite a few games like this one this season,too many in fact!the rl really do need to make changes and make sure winning the league actually means something otherwise the fans will stay away in their droves! well done on winning the league by the way,hope we meet you guys in the g/f!

I don't understand those who are claiming the LLS is nothing, I think it's a great achievement and some thing the players and fans should be hugely proud of. Many Wigan fans considered this season to be one of transition with so many key senior players leaving at the end of last year but we have almost cemented our place as the best team during the full regular season, I for one will be very proud of our boys if we go on to lift the shield, it would have been well earned.

Quote: Newton-Le-willows-Warrior "this season is mapping out strangely like 2010, won the shield in the 2nd last game against KR in 2010, who could we possibly win the shield against this year? Warrington Leeds challenge cup final in 2010, warrington leeds challenge cup final this year. Same grand final and result please
Who beat us in the cup that year?

Plus the fact that there is prize money for winning it.

Quote: Rogues Gallery "Look at the long term.
Wire still had five 30+ers in their team tonight (they rested the others)
Their younger players failed big time.

The Wigan U20 team wouldn't have got beaten like that.

How do they fill those gaps?'"

Finishing top is a tremendous achievement that should receive more credit and recognition than it does. As opposed to getting a few grand and a crappy little dinner plate/hubcap they should get a proper trophy and a far better chance of winning the GF than the teams below them. You should truly have to implode to fail to win the GF from 1st. As it is, finishing top is no different really to finishing 2nd other than said crappy shield, a few grand and doing your opponents team talk in the semi final. If I was running the game, I would award the current SL trophy to the team that comes first. The GF winners would get a remake of the old Championship trophy, and it would be a top 5 system.

If we were to finish top but not win the GF then I'd see this season as a failure. There are two trophies worth winning and we won't have won either. It won't be us in the WCC or referred to as Champions and it won't be us shown lifting the CC on BBC every time there is Rugby League on. Winning the shield and seeing it as a success for a club like us would be like Man Utd claiming winning just the Community Shield as a success despite not winning the FA Cup, PL or CL.

It should be a success but the fact is.........it isn't.

But it's not a "real" trophy is it?

Absolutely. The issue is though that the rules were in place BEFORE the season started. Everyone knew this before a ball was kicked in anger.

Winning the shield, under the current rules means very very little. You can argue all you like about whether it should mean more, but currently it does not.

If it did mean more, then Warrington would have won tonight.

They rested players - they probably didn't care, but neither do I. They got destroyed. icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

It was for Warrington when they 'won the league' last year.

I do agree with you I think the season as it is would be deemed a failure if we don't reach the Grand Final mainly because we'd get zero recognition for a great achievement. I am pro play offs I only wish those in charge would lay more prestige on the LLS.

Be negative all you want.

For me and many others it's seen as something to celebrate.
