We will be passing all feedback back to the Chamber to present to RL HQ so it would be useful if you could post any feedback under the actual article.
Thanks.
It would also be good to get feedback from supporters of other clubs - especially the current Super League Champions Leeds.
Lets see the original trophy returned by Wigan as well please and presented to the league winners each year instead of the hub cap!

| Not seen you complain before when other teams have finished top?
FWIW i think the shields are worthless and nobody will remember Warrington finishing top this year only Leeds as Champions?

| How embarrassing. I am so proud of the team for finishing top of the league this year and loved the Shield presentation. BUT we didn't win Super League and the more we bleat on about it, the more embarrassed I become. Just enjoy the great season we had and look forward to winning the big one next year.

Tough dodo about the shield, welcome to SL and the way it works, we all know how it happens, and i've never heard this fella piping up over the past 10 years its been awarded to other clubs, but now it's wire, he's piping up.
Anyhow, i'm with him on the Prem trophy it should be at Red Hall or the George not at Wigan and i've been pushing for that since it was put in their cabinet.

| This campaign just makes us (Warrington) look like sore losers.
Plus its sport so who cares what some geezer from the chamber of commerce thinks.
Would his time not be better spent on trying to reserect the local economy?

| Well, that's just embarrassing. Just comes across as sour grapes.
And to suggest Wigan should give back the old trophy (which was given to them by the RFL in recognition of their achievements) is a terrible notion.

Good to see the responses though, you know it's a great achievement but hasn't decided to title for over a decade etc.

| I don't see why people keep complaining about it. We have won the shield, but unfortunately messed up when it came to the playoffs (Leeds outplayed us, it wasn't a case of us being shocking, Leeds less shocking etc.). Like others have said, it makes us sound like sore losers to the rest of the league. I think we should just move on, and make sure that we don't have to complain next year by winning the SL trophy rather than just the LLS.

| Pointless imo. It just looks like we can't stomach losing out on the GF and want something 'more fitting' to make us feel better. We deserved to lose against Leeds just like we deserved to finish top after the 27 rounds. Defeat should make us return stronger next year and don't look back.

| Embarrassing on every level. Leeds are Super League Champions and deservedly so. I'd give Daniels credit if he had made these comments before the season started or if we had won the Grand Final.
The club seemed to take defeat on the chin and with dignity. Witness Tony Smith at the end of the game. Shame others can't do the same.

| If we had won the grand final then these comments wouldn't have been made, i'm embarrassed as a Wire fan.
Of course the players should get medals as a reward for finishing top but it doesn't need a public outburst to get that point across to the RFL, this just makes us as a club look like sore losers.
I just hope our fans and our club don't get tarred with this outburst, Leeds are the SL champions this year so congrats to them.

| Good to see the reaction of the Wire fans who haven't been asleep for 15 years.
It wasn't a problem last year and it won't be a problem when Warrington win SL.
I think the sport has moved on, no one remembers Saints finishing top so many times, they just remember the 0 and the 5.
Maybe it's time to remove the plastic trophy for coming top and reward the league leader another way? For example a much easier route to Old Trafford than there is currently?

| Firstly; who is this person? Secondly; we started the season in the full knowledge how it would conclude.
Decrying the Shield belittles our consistency over the season.

| I totally agree with the views of most of this board. This guy can't be much of a 'business leader' if he can't see that this is just embarassing the town. Leeds are champions, Wire League leaders, simple enough for most of us to understand.

| Quite rightly the majority just want to move on, and realise that talk like this is embarrassing.
However i thought the sarcastic response from a Superleague spokesman stating that the winners are suitably rewarded as shown when presenting leeds the trophy...etc etc..... was more concerning than us not being rewarded enough.
Just once can the amateurish s that run our game show an ounce of professionalism....

Gary - I'd welcome your views on this tripe. You don't agree with him...do you?

| I think a lot of people are missing the point.
Finishing top at the end of league season should be rewarded with more than just a shiny hub cap and the players should get a decent medal.
Also these comments are being made from some one independent of the rugby club so not a case of sour grapes by Warrington Wolves or the fans.
He is just expressing his view and trying to encourage the powers that be to give a little more recognition to the team that finishes top of the league after a full season.
Finishing top indicates that you are the best team - not winning a knock out competition.
When would a good time be to raise this issue - it needs addressing and sooner rather than later.
Tony Smith is not a big fan of the current play off system and has made his views known - surely the more people who make their views known from various different backgrounds the more likelihood the powers that be will consider making the changes.
The supporters certainly did with their feet - big league games sell outs - play off games half empty stadiums - 6,500 at Wigan v Catalans - what a joke!.
They couldn't even fill the stadium for a Wigan v Saints eliminator!
Try and look at the bigger picture moving forward.
Leeds deserved their Grand Final triumph and no one can take that away from them - but overall Warrington (closely followed by Wigan) were the best team last season and just had a bad day at the office at the wrong time.
What have the players got to look back on in their retirement - nothing!
The great Harry Bath had a league winners medal which he sent back to Warrington to help raise funds for Mike Gregory in his hour of need - our current players have nothing to remember the best achievement of their career to date - winning the league title.

| Some good points there Gary, and very well put. The problem is that we knew what the rules were at the start of the campaign and there's no point in complaining just after the GF. I think most people agree that the League Leaders at the end of the regular season deserve more recognition, but the way he's come out with it just stinks of sour grapes.

| League Leader's Shield should definitely hold more of a reward as it is a great achievement and shows that team have been the best team over the season. However we all know how SL and especially the playoff format works nowadays and unless that team goes on to win the GF, no one remembers them.
Seems as well this has only came out since Warrington have won the LLS. Warrington will be back stronger than ever next season and that little taste of success will make them hungrier to go on to bigger and better things.
