Also worth pointing out what a tremendous success the GF has been for the sport. For once we saw what the Australians were doing (what we'd been doing in the 60's) and realised that having a big final to crown the Champions was the way to revitalise a flagging league system.
But hey, we wouldn't be having this discussion if Saints hadn't lost the last two GF's would we?

Typical Saints fans really. Must come from being in Wigan's shadow. |

| Quote Dave Heron's Moustache="Dave Heron's Moustache"Which "old" league system? The old one, the old, old one, the old, old, old one, or the really, really old one? (currently our competiton is pretty close to that in operation in the 60's -early 70's prior to two divisions. A league leaders shield followed by a playoff to decide the Champions).
The only way we will return to tighter games is to have more than two competitive teams, and in any league system a win or loss 5 weeks in is not going to determine the outcome of the competition. Coaches don't want to pile undue pressure on their players when they still have 6 months footy to play.'"
The system that provides a team with the most points the title....fair system and incourages more competitive games overall... |

Even the Wigan fans aren't so arrogant as to want to change the competition because they can't win it. Neither were the Bulls fans when they lost from 1st place twice. Only you lot would scrap the showpiece event of the Rugby year, one of the greatest events in British sport, because you got totaly rolled over by a better big game team two years running.
Pathetic. There simply is no other word. |

[uTRANSLATION[/u: We consistently collect hub-caps but consistently choke in the big games so lets move the goalposts so that people may call us Champions instead of chokers. |

Give Bradford a chance to complain first. With Hood in charge it's pretty much a given.
The teams that have missed out on being Champions after finishing top are:
1999 Bradford (St Helens)
2000 Wigan (St Helens)
2005 St Helens (Bradford)
2007 St Helens (Leeds)
2008 St Helens (Leeds) |
