| Better team won, but should have had a man sent off if there's any consistency.
Lee Briers getting a bit carried away saying the current Warrington team 'aren't far off' the Wigan challenge cup team.  |

Still enough time for 'Sir Kev' to punt over a conversion or two though.'"
To be fair in the second half Leeds stopped playing sensibly and started giving away penalties. Then were hard done to with the try ruled out after Leuluai's hit but they just failed to respond to that setback. It seemed like they were focused on getting the next try and it being a crucial one and when it was ruled out their heads seemed to drop.
I also thought Jonathan Davies was spot on when he was talking about Leeds only having one option as a kicker. Sinfield was closed down far too easily.
Not a surprising outcome though. Warrington had the better players and the better team. When everyone is at the top of their game then Warrington have the best team in the league this year. |

He didn't say that, what he said was "we've a long way to go to get to that level"
which I thought was the correct and proffesional way to answer the question. |

Exactly why I've been avoiding RLFANS for the last 24 hours.
Just enjoy the win but accept you're no where near the level of Wigan's success.
Right, I'm logging out for another 24 hours before I see an attempt of Chris Riley being compared to Martin Offiah.

So if you're an eighteen year old Wire fan born in 1994, you have to eat humble pie in the presence of the main Pies because of stuff that happened either before you were born or when you were a kid? We acknowledge Wigan's history but too many Pies can't accept that Warrington themselves are now a very fine team and their fans are entitled to shout about it.

To be fair its not exactly unreasonable for a Wigan fan to say that you are not as good as that Wigan team when you havent even won a league? |

Really? You would have thought the league table would be the judge of that. |

| Quote: sally cinnamon "3 in 4 years is a long way short of 8 in a row, but remember to put it in context, we have done it in an era of a strong Wigan team with Tomkins, Finch etc, which makes our achievement even more remarkable. I don't think the great Wigan team of the 1980s and 1990s had a rival as strong as that.'"
Remarkable my Jim Royle.
Competition was much stronger and deeper than now.
How's about
Leeds with Hanley Lowes and Schofield
Widnes with Davies Offiah Tamati and Sorenson
Wire with Drummond Woods Gregory and Boyd
Saints with Loughlin Ropati and Ward
Cas with Crooks Blackmore and Nikau
Throw in the second tier Halifax Oldham Fev etc much stronger than now. |

Tbh the league's a lot more even now than it was back then the cap has ensured this and its now so no one team can have a starting 13 where every1 of them are world class and would walk onto any team.
iirc we were not that bad then for a semi pro team and for arguments sake had wigan not been in the league we would have won a few league's |

not really, they've beaten us twice and haven't looked troubled either time, battered Leeds and Saints recently too, they're peaking nicely at the right time, quite comfortably the best team in the league imo |
