I think that's the main problem with it.
If a team wins it then doesn't get the Gf they feel hard done by, and rightly so. Wire were the best team last year and have very little to show for it. If we do the same this year it will be the same. If you look around the world this is the way a lot of sport is done its just that it's weird for us as the main sport in this country is football and RL hasn't always has playoffs.
For what it's worth I like the playoffs that feeling at old Trafford in 2010 was unbeatable.

Feel free. Just as long as you appreciate that it's not what the season is all about. In fact it's largely incidental.

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?'"
Yet your under 20's got beat by Widnes

| I am hearing from a couple of Wire fans that that a few members of the Squad were slightly "unapologetic" to the Wolfs support at the end of the game.....

| Sounds like the fans and players were arguing again. Awful club.

| Finishing top of the pile should mean much more than it should. I have no doubt that it means a lot to the fans. It did to me last year, and congratulations to you for what looks like success this year.
The biggest problem is that the RFL dont view it as an important acheivement. This leads to coaches managing their teams in a way that doesn't view the it as an important acheivement. Both Wigan and Warrington would like to finish top, but both at some point have taken risks with their teams which show they dont NEED to finish top.
I love the play off system but wish the powers that be gave the league equal prestige. I would have loved to finish top again this year, and well done to you for doing so, just a shame it doesn't mean much in the grand scheme

I think the record goes back way beyond 2010 if you feel like a little homework.

Sadly finishing top means nothing any more, as long as you finish in the top 2 it's fine, the play-offs is where it's at nowadays

Still we'll have the £50,000 - but that probably doesn't mean a lot to Moran.

If a defeat is a defeat then why do you have that avatar?

44480_1390845286.jpg It's been fun.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_44480.jpg |

| I was there, till the end, none of our fans gave two poops, in fact i saw one old man giving it 'you're gutless wire' and that was it, party atmosphere the whole game, surreal actually, so no there wasn't any fighting, it was just weird, the players just didn't look interested and didn't want to get physical, they looked like they were saving themselves for Wembley, irony being a couple probably played themselves OUT of a shirt.
We were always going to finish 2nd, so i'm ambivalent to the score, if the league was worth winning, we'd have put a better side out and won, truth is tonight was a game no one seemed to have been wanting to picked for, almost like a reserve grade game for a regular first teamer who's peed the boss off.
