There was no market for it at any book maker. So the answer to your question is "no"

Super League for me should be Wakefield. No benefactor, one of the smallest budgets, yet to finish in all likelihood as a top 5 side is great.

Saying Wigan or Warrington is ridiculous. Well done to them for being crap last year but actually doing what is expected of them this season. I don't think Cas can be included because we've not achieved anything. Backed up the top 4 when most said we'd fail but is it a real shock?

Huddersfield perhaps for their resurrection - I'd probably say Wakey, Saints and Hudds are the top 3.

Don't patronise our small town neighbours.

I am going to be even more left field and say Salford - now bare with me.

They are a club who were very much in the situation Wakefield were in five years ago when our Knight in shining armour did a runner. Like us they were at the start of this season a club with 'No benefactor and one of the smallest budgets in SL', and perhaps even worse off than we were in that they don't even have an Academy team to draw from!!

Nice stadium but considering the crowds it must currently be a crippling expense.

At the start of this season I and most on here saw them folding before the season was done, I certainly couldn't see a way out for them.

Yet they are here, they have survived and they are in SL which is one hell of an effort. They seem to have the players on board, at least for now. The crowds have at least steadied and the RL on offer during parts of the season has not been too bad.

Last night I thought Salford were good because Toulouse were up for causing an upset.

Of course it's far from over them, Salford will lose players and will struggle for a few more years yet but they are still in SL and as a Wakey fan I can say that that is really all that matters to clubs who stand alone financially.

I'm chuffed for their fans and those who took the reigns from the last superstar t*sser so beloved of the expansionist nutters on here and dropped them in it. A proper club with proper foundation and proper fans that just need nursing back to health.

Could it be argued salford only stayed up because of Jackson Hastings? He was treated like a club legend last night. They lost both games he didn't play in the 8s too. Plus their attendances remain a real issue. I'm glad they haven't gone down.

Club of the year is a tough one, I really can't put Catalans forward because like it or not they've been ferrel once again in the league, for the roster they have.

Wakefield have entertained me this season, though I feel consistency has let them down a little, lots of WLWLWL , but when they're on song, a joy to watch.

Probably saints get the accolade, 19 points behind last year's LLS and beaten in heart breaking fashion for the spot at old Trafford last year (to the day), they have been consistently the best side.


Wire deserve a mention , challenge cup final and a minimum of play off semis.

Whoever wins the GF could also be justifiably club of the year.
