I'm impressed. I wasn't even sure we'd win. Can't quite get used to not supporting a crap team. May have to go and watch Widnes next season.

I know, I thought Leeds were better than they were. I was a Hardaker Mizuno from having that, drat.
Great thing is, we've got another 60 pt win next Friday, followed by a 44pt win the following week with a patched up side so you really have got to be smiling today.

I have only predicted a big win once this season... Hull. I'm not gonna be doing it again.

They are but unfortunately they have no coach. Wire have the best coach in the game, he showed that at Wembley last year and he showed it last night. McDermott (the apprentice) had meticulously planned for this game so he could beat his mentor (Smith), well he certainly showed his full credentials. Leeds had lost the second he picked that side.

| Leeds need someone like Wayne bennet in control.
He will get the best out of the players as he has done with all the other teams he has been with over the years!

In all seriousness I think we have a real nice patch with TS. It is almost like we are made for each other and, if TS is up for it, I would have him as the leader forever.
He is settled in Eng, I can't think where he might go.

Only if this was the case and we had this success all the time.

I can see Wire starting a dynasty. With the money to buy a top drawer coach. The players can come at will. I think we may be starting a good period.

I think it is nailed on we are going to be a top side for years to come. However we can't kid ourselves into thinking we are going to be making finals every year. We will have seasons when we struggle but they will still be better than what the majority of us are used to. I only started taking interest in rugby when my dad first bought me a season ticket in 2003 which is probably when things started to look up for us.

I imagine this is a truly exciting time to be a Wire fan for those that witnessed some of the bad days. Like you I have only watched religiously recently.
I am excited though. The stick I got from my sts supporter (read:glory hunting) friends. Feels good to give a little back.

I've been watching regularly since the early 80's....so I have experienced the many lows ...so I really do appreciate what we have now...its very special and we should enjoy every minute of it...long may it continue!
All fans should consider themselves lucky to be witnessing what we have now..great team with high quality players, great coach, great stadium, great off the field work....it doesn't happen often...we are lucky to be around when it has. Nothing is won yet (apart from the two challenge cups!)...the league is what we want now...we have a chance..its not going to be easy...but we do have a chance.
The fans are getting their rewards now....the 4,500 souls that were watching when I started.....and all the welcome newcomers since...loyalty does gets its reward...I am enjoying mine. NOW THE WIRE!

| The one thing we cant afford to be, is complacent.
We've (hopefully) just started something brilliant, and it'll continue for many years.
What we don't want to do, is turn out like Bradford.....part dominated (along with Stains) for a decade, and look at them now. Absolute 5h1t3 for the last 4 or 5 years

To be able to emulate Bulls and Saints on field success would be a dream. As you say we should not be complacent with success. Following our recent win at Odsal there was a good thread over on the Bulls board about where things had gone wrong. Obviously the Harris saga hadn't helped but the bulls were spending beyond their means plus the liability of Odsal, things started to go wrong and they had to sell or release players to survive. That was a very short summary but there was a lot more to it than that though.
Since Moran took over and the move to the HJ we have got our house in order financially, no worries with ground issues (unlike otheres in SL), excellent coach and support staff, off field management is good and junior player development is now starting to show fruition.
I've been watching since the mid 70s and I have seen some good and bad teams. This team has definitely got to be the best I've seen during that time, although we have had some top players over the last 30 years but rarely a team around them to consistently challenge the top teams. We have had teams that could have a good cup run but only on a handfull of seasons we have been competing at the top of the league. So this and last season we have shown more consistency. Long may it continue.
