Quote: SaintsFan "Why do some Saints fans need to do this each year?

All that Leeds have been in the Superleague era, and then only latterly, is the play off experts. That's it really. They can't buy a challenge cup win and they've managed league leaders shield, what, three times? But they have won six grand finals, four of them against one team.

Let's not go overboard just because they won another grand final. Until Sinfield retires they are going to be a threat at grand final time but that's it.'"


While the is a play off system it obviously doesn't matter where you finish just as long as you make the play offs.

Every team knows the situation and its all about coming good when it matters. Warrington would IMO finished top of the league thus year if that's how you become champions but how do we know Leeds wouldbt go all out for top spot if that's what required to be champs.

It's no fluke that Leeds won it again.

And last but not least, to all those people who wrote this team off. To all those people who critisized this team...tonight's for you. K. Sinfield, GF 2011:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_45465.jpg



Quote: SaintsFan "In terms of Leeds, which generation of players are you talking about?

The only recurring theme to Leeds in their grand final successes are Sinfield, Burrow, McGuire, Peacock, JJB and the thug. I think most of the others, if not all of them, have changed since 2007.

Like I say, you can't really talk about a team when you talk about 'the best' unless you refer to a particular season as teams are changing all the time.'"

Thank you, some reality at last. Before people harp on about the Dad's Army Rhinos team they should check the age of Hardaker, Watkins, BJB and Hall. Good YOUNG players with their best years to come. I conveniently (for the sake of my point) won't mention our, ahem, forwards.

I think the best 3 teams in SL history are 2003 Bulls, 2004 Rhinos and 2006 Saints. Impossible to choose between them.

I would modify that slightly because although Bulls and Rhinos were close they weren't quite to the same level as 2006 Saints. Had they been, they too would have swept the board trophy-wise in their respective seasons and done so with so few losses on the way.

The Bradford team did sweep the board in 2003.

The Leeds Rhinos team of 2004 lost just 2 Super League games all season and won the GF. They lost to us in the cup when we beat Bradford, Leeds, Hull, Huddersfield and Wigan to win it.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg

I don't think RL history is her strong point!!!

I've just said on Red Vee that no team has won the treble, or the Challenge Cup / Super League double under the latest system.

Is that the team or the system?

Did they? I didn't realise they'd done the treble. Fair enough. That means Bradford 2003 and Saints 2006 would be the best teams in Superleague so far.
