Hodgson missed 4 league games this season; Wakey away, Hull KR home, Celtic away and Saints away.
Wakefield 6 Huddersfield 54
Huddersfield 22 Hull KR 6
Celtic 16 Huddersfield 42
Saints 12 Huddersfield 10 |

if you listened to the pundits they said huds field missed the influence of brown at wembley and the last games so should he have been short listed  |

You cant go saying things like that on here, you may upset the ostriches! Of all teams in superleague, I can see at least 3 teams improving more than Warrington. at the moment, i have us ranked in 7th place for next season. |

The thing I'm most gutted about is that they show a selection of clips of the Man of Steel winner at half-time in the Grand Final, and it would have been great to see Moz's hits on Fielden and Crabtree, and him lifting the cup, of course.
Disappointed for Moz, but Hodgson did have a great season too, so fair play to him.

Hodgson missed four games and Huddersfield won three lost one. Graham missed three games in which Saints won 2 and lost 1. Morley also missed four games and we lost all four! |

Which is just what Leeds or Saints will do on Saturday...........Leeds having got to the Grand Final by beating the teams that finished 4th in the league and 8th in the league both with home advantage...........Regardless of how well they've done through the season that's the task that is set before them at the start of the play offs!!
Warringtons task in lifting the CC was first to beat 2 lesser teams and then to beat the teams that finished 4th 6th and 3rd in the Super League all away from home!
As you say after next Saturday it is time to look forward to next season. This seasons major trophy winners will be Warrington and either Leeds or Saints.............a few teams will get a well done pat on the back for finishing in the top 8............and by the start of next season most people won't be able to remember who finished in the top 8
As for being up their with Saints and Leeds well come Sunday we'll have won more trophies this year than one of them and the same number as the other!
You have your opinions and expectations others have their own.
Me.......I'm looking forward to next season under TS...............and I'm just off to blow some more smoke up me own ass!! |

Whilst not supporting the above comments, I believe Hull FC will improve on their league performance next year, for one.
I am going for a Wire 4th/5th in 2010. |

Definitely, they will be dangerous come playoff team due to the big game players they'll have. All comes down to injury situation ith Hull, Long misses alot of games. |

I realise that but over the course of the season, I feel Warrington and Saints would have coped a lot better. |

For Agar, see James Lowes.
They'll struggle again unless they start terribly and replace him like we did this year. |
