Anyway regarding the draw lets just hope the pitches start to dry out and some British sunshine greets us over the next few weeks. As proved last season on three occassions Saints v Leeds on a dry track equates to a convincing win for the S men.

| Quote: Ashmeister "Finishing top of Super League is a much greater achievement than being world club chapions imo.
It shows you been the best team in Super League over 27 rounds of a season, which is a great feat. Especially 4 seasons on the trot.
Saints are the most succesfull team in recent years, including the last 5.'"
It would mean more with a balanced fixture schedule straight home and away so there are flaws to your argument!!
Don't forget to compete in WCC you have to win the BIGGEST fixture of the season at old trafford so again there's flaws in your argument.
I'm more than happy with our success as it stands and there's plenty more finals to come imo. |

CHALLENGE CUP WINNERS 2006,'07 & '08
Giant killers, Dragon slayers & Airlie Birds wing clippers
75-0 thats a record score... 16 yrs of misery, gone in 80 minutes
If God took up rugby league then his name would have been Vollenhoven with AJ Murphy along too:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7880.jpg |

I'm not knocking your teams success, but it has been a belief of mine that to top the league at the end of the weekly rounds is slightly more credit worthy than playing in a knockout comp at the end of the season to produce an overall winner. An arguemnt used by some to devalue the Challenge Cup I know, but that is a tradition that should never be sneered at, as it allows lower league and non-league teams the chance of a giant killing performance which could be the crowning glory for a lot of players for the rest of their lives |

I agree re-the cup but the league is still inbalanced with the extra fixture's so it will always add weight to the finishing top argument!!
The comp we have is great but it has many flaws imo even more now with the top 8 and pick yer opponent garbage but it's also the BIG 1 at OT which is considered the most worthy trophy out of all on offer followed by the cup. |

Rugby league should have something similar to the charity shield to kick off the season. Challenge cup winners vs Superleague champions. It would gain much needed publicity to launch superleague every year.
what do you think

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 |

We used to do it, but it got scrapped due to lack of interest, poor sponsorship and it being another extra game.
We enjoyed the Isle of Man trips though.  |

[quote='Fishsta"']I've always thought of McGuire as a good player, and I wouldn't normally wish injury on any player, but there was a certain hint of poetic justice to that.
[/quote]
Another classic:
[quote='Fishsta']You forgot to take off the "Saints Reduction Factor" when calculating the ban.
Standard suspension / Saints Reduction Factor = Actual ban for Saints player.
Therefore (2 / 3) = 0.666
0.666 < 1 therefore actual ban equals "less than 1 match".
Therefore ZERO.[/quote]

We might have done that in the days when we were a ruthless winning machine. We've got so fat recently that the club won't try anything. |

8? Where do you get that from? The league leaders shield is not a trophy. |
