I've heard a rumour on another forum that you are changing your name to Saints RL, Is this true ?

Yes.
St Helens the town is rather common and unfortunate so the club has decided to detach itself for marketing purposes. "Saints RL" brings images of clouds and superior beings, "St Helens RLFC" brings images of terraced houses, chimneys and kids that look like extras from Oliver Twist.

When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.

TBH It was mentioned by Peter Hood at the Bulls fans forum last night. He actually put a good spin on it in terms of you guys actually growing your brand not just in this country but in places like Ireland and the US

It's a branding thing. The club is still St Helens RLFC. But the idea of it is to spread the brand far and wide. Well, perhaps as far as Scouseland. |

What she said.
Its purely a brand thing. If you (the OP) had bothered to search you would have seen this topic debated on another thread. Never mind. |

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 |

It is a branding thing.
However remember all the cr@p we got when we were re-branded Wigan Warriors, by the RFL.

Not sure it needs spreading here. There are plenty of cars sporting Saints paraphernalia (sp) both around here where I live (Waterloo RU territory) and further south in Liverpool itself and beyond. In fact, when Google Street View first appeared, I was looking around Goodison Park area and spotted someone wearing a Saints away strip. |

I think he was referring to your use of the 'W' word.
Oh hold on, so are you, yes that's an excellent idea, please replace the 'W' word with 'rubbish' infuture.
Carry on.

I hope this will not happen next year, or throughout my lifetime, and my children's lifetime, and their children's life time...
I don't support Saints. I support St Helens RLFC, whose nickname happens to be Saints.
