Dwarfs, Gnomes, Halflings/GNOME2.JPG The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.

| Quote: Gazwire "Like those clubs, Saints have fallen from grace and are not at present, as big a club as they were- SL through the noughties. You've missed the point, so I'll put it another way
Where we now have a level playing field (Professional) in the all time super league era it looks as though Warrington will become a top 4 club next season in 2017, a big club is one that can stay competitive with success in the top flight throughout an extensive era.
The All TIME Super League Table, is as follows:-
1 St Helens 812
2 Wigan 783
3 Leeds 741
4 Bradford 617
5 Warrington 614
6 Hull 536
Trophy Success over the Superleague Era as follows:
1 St Helens
2 Leeds
3 Wigan
4 Bradford
5 Warrington
I suggest you come back next year if you win Superleague, then you might have some valid points to back up your claims.
Footnote: If you do win Superleague myself and many of the saints fans will be the first ones to congratulate you on your forum, Superleague Champions is awesome and enormous once you achieve that, I reckon the anxious and abrasive comments from Warrington fans might show a reduction once this is achieved.

| Quote: Judder Man "Have you got any particular year in mind for when it matters.'"
I commented earlier in this thread that it was bizarre now it's surreal . I can just about understand wires gloating and glossing over the inconsistencies in last week's match. After all they won and made the GF.
Now they have lost, and to be totally honest only looked like managing tries through barge overs or on the back of penalties, and they are still here.
On the basis of their last two "big" games they are at the stage were their attack really does make Saints look like the entertainers in comparison.
I suspect the wire board must be a grim place at the moment if you want to take refuge here - tried the Wigan board yet?

| Quote: Gazwire "Now and again you hear fans from Leeds Utd, Sheffield Wednesday and Forest insisting they're still big clubs, but only in their minds. You can harp Saints fans as much as you like about your history, and the same as Widnes, but like it or not,over the past 6/7 years, the stats will point to us being the bigger club.
The perception of the size of a club changes over time eg 1954 when we had the 104000 attendance, I'd say we were the bigger club. From the start of the SL era up until 2006 you were undoubtedly the bigger club. But since 2009 onwards after we won the cc, the pendulum has swung. If your still the bigger club, ask yourself; why have we had more success (bar a jammy gf), why have the better players been attracted to our club and not yours eg Sandow v Peyroux, your average attendances have gradually fallen and ours have generally gone up over that period surpassing yours. Over the past 6/7 years, give me one reason why you believe your club to be bigger than us bar the jammy GF win?
(By the way, I do have a lot of respect for your SL era successes.)'"
This massive club that couldn't make the 8's
