Every game matters next season. No stupid playoffs. More intense games. You reach the top four and your one game away from the final. You can't afford a bad run of games IMO.
Saints, Wigan, Wire, Leeds and maybe even Hudds, Catalan could easily get top 4 and have a big chance to get there name on the trophy or at least get more appearances in finals.

What's all this '2009' and 'the last 6 seasons' that keeps cropping up in posts from Warrington fans?

Why do Dire Wolf supporters think RL only began then?

Can't tell if you're fishing or are just deluded.

2009 onwards has been our most successful time for quite a while, so much so that Sky keep tipping us to win the GF. (Note how I said Sky, not Wire fans)

[quote="Saddened!"]I think we're seeing a real levelling of the playing field with the lower salary cap year on year relative to the NRL and Union.
Is that what we really aspire to? We may as well give up if our only hope is that eventually the strongest clubs are weakened to the point that they no longer win. I look forward to the day when I am the winning Super League captain with my one legged mate John as the man of steel, because that is all there will be left.

Really?
The top 6 will target the bottom 6 as winnable games with their own "mini-league" more about "not losing" rather than winning.

Boring "safe" RL will reign at the top with some blow-outs against "lesser" opposition.......and staying up will be of more financial value than winning the competition outright.

Something is very wrong with that....very wrong.

I'd say we are considered part of the top 4 as Bradford have fallen, they still have more silverware than us in the SL era, but we are up there now.

Who are the 'top 4' then and on what basis are Wire part of this elite?

Wigan 5
Warrington 4
Saints 3
Cas 1
Hull 1

Trophies since 2010 (inc WCC):

Average SL attendances for 2014?:
15,068 Leeds
14,102 Wigan
12,051 Saints
11,065 Hull
9,870 Warrington
~ The rest all sub 8k.

Leeds 10
Wigan 10
Saints 9
Warrington 7
Catalans 3
Huddersfield 3

To be honest, I wouldn't bother arguing with, or wasting time providing facts for Brucie, as its apparent he's only got into RL in the last year.

He must be looking for something to fill his time since the BBC sacked him from Strictly....

Yet again, why do these Wire muppets think we should only take into account 2009 onwards????

Not a 'big club'.
