Quote: Sthelens RLFC "Not alot to argue about with either of you. I do take issue with a couple of comments though G1, the hubcaps show consistency through the year and I'd rather finish top than not (not that it's done us many favours over the years!). I can't decide whether you are being glib (no irony detector over here) about the CC finals as well although I do think Leeds would have loved to win one over your fruitful last 7 years.
I agree we are not the force we were but I think that can be pointed at yourselves as well. I'd also wager that you wouldn't be too disappointed if you'd signed Laffranchi, just the same as I'd be disappointed if we'd missed out on him to yourselves.'"
There can be little doubt that Saints have been one of the outstanding sides in SL. A lack of GF wins in no way diminishes their ability to play quality, attractive, winning rugby on a consistent basis. Make no mistake about it winning the hubcap and finishing top would be valued higher by some had their clubs managed it more often. To make winning the GF the only criteria of success smacks of schoolyard boasting.
