Sadly for you, Rugby League didn't begin in 2009.

And we've still won the Grand Final four times. How many times have you won it?

I seem to remember our failure caused great amusement among the neanderthal population of Warrington ( This comment discludes any right minded sane Wire fans if there are any ). If we seem to like returning the favour then you only have yourselves to blame.

You want to be careful there, you are beginning to come across like Liverpool FC do.....

You have an excellent recent history, but history is what it is....I'm sure your time will come again in the next few years, but for now the point about swapping THIS season with Wire probably rings true.

Just hope you don't have to hit the depths that we had to, before you actually start to see some success.....Though, to be honest, when you have been as low as we have, when success does arrive, it does taste much sweeter than a continual run of success (I imagine).

Thing is you cannot win with some fans...for instance we apparently become Liverpool like with going into our past for former glories (4 years ago since our last challenge cup win, hardly a lifetime ), but then people mock is for the five GF defeats which is the past!

So people have to make their mind up

I wouldn't regard getting to the GF as having had a bad season
