    Default League Leaders Shield

    The SKY euphoria from Wigan winning it and from our six fingered friends now undoubtedly make it the third competition and it quite rightly counts. I think it now without a shadow of a doubt puts our overall achievements in Super League into perspective as THE TEAM.

    That's nothing compared to Warrington beating us TWICE in one season.

    If your a real Wire fan you must be livid. To be honest we are both Evertonians and its like Liverpool winning the Champions League and Kenwrong saying yeah but we got two draws against them. Embarrassing for their genuine fans, who sadly are pretty small in number.

    Let’s not be churlish, Wigan won that fair and square based on playing the same number of games as we did but with a slightly higher win ratio/2 more points.

    SKY rightly lauded them imho. They had two great performances all season, and they were those two games against us in the last couple of weeks, and it got them a pot. Leeds played well twice and it got them the CCup.

    We have only got ourselves to blame for that one, focus on the WCC and losing to Wire, Hudds, Cas and Salford cost us the LLS, not losing against Wigan as that was always a strong possibility according to the law of average when we beat them 5 times in a row.....

    Wure’s 2 good games all season were against us, and they got nowt.......

    Difficult question to answer, because Grand Final winning surely brings advertising revenue and (normally) season ticket renewals and merchandise sales. Nobody buys a commemorative “League leaders shield winners” shirt/scarf/mug/sticker

    I like the LLS and it would be good to have won it 3 years on the bounce.

    It should prove which is the most consistent team but of course it could be argued that some of the other's aren't trying for it especially if they are involved in the Wembley final

    You obviously weren’t at Cas in 2017 when they were flogging ‘Champions’ merch left, right and centre,
    Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.

    TBF when its not in the too distant past that they ended a run of 30-odd successive defeats I suppose beating us twice in the year is quite the accomplishment.

    Massive well done to Warrington - you should be proud of yourselves and stand tall lads.

    I think we are the only team to win Back to Back league leaders shields. When we won back to back back to back back to back back to back in 2005 to 2008 it became a Mickey Mouse or Hub Cap until Warrington won it and made it equal status to being super league champions.

    Been to Cas once, many years ago. Never again. I live near a farm, I can go over there if I want to stand in a shithole surrounded by animals.

    With the winning try being scored by him in golden point extra time of course.

    In his interview he didn't finish there, he wants the team to win the lot next year.

    I'm sure we could design something for them. Something with a '2' theme? Something in a 'pair' maybe?
    ...Or am I just talking bol**cks?
