Thats 5 times now in 11 to 12 seasons, almost same no of shields than the whole winning teams put together.


When is St Pete doing his "naked run" by the way.

Congratulations. I'm gutted we let ourselves down when les cats were there for the taking. Fair play though I thought you showed a massive amount of bottle last night and should have won or at least drawn. See you next week.

Nice to actually win something, even if it's as meaningless as this one is.

I just hope it's not used as justification of the coaching and players at Saints,as we're still a way away from winning either the Challenge Cup or Grand Final.

Congratulations to Saints. Now for the real thing! I hope we see you at OT.

7 in 19. Never finished below 5th (and that's only been twice) - we've been spoilt beyond compare in the modern era.

Going off the garbage the coaching staff had at their disposal (according to you that is) and injuries to key players throughout the season I think it is an excellent testimonial to both the coaching staff and fringe players who have come into the side and given their best to win the league leaders shield.

First off, congratulations.

Second off, what's it like to have won the LLS in such an embarrassing manner?

Why, we won more games than anybody else, we also did the double on our contender for that particular piece of silverware. It's awarded over the 27 game season and not over the last 2 weeks.

Well I for one dont think it's meaningless,you finished top of the pile.
Congratulations.

Aye, proper embarrassing to finish top of the league

Keep looking , you'll find your dummy eventually

She's a bit grumpy...probably cut herself whilst shaving her back.

I can,t remember what we had pre League Leaders Shield from 2003, was it a proper trophy with handles on.

Congratulations on finishing top of the league, especially with the loss of key players .

Incidentally, as someone who will probably never see my team lift a trophy, is it just a new shield that’s produced every year?

It would be much better if like in the NRL with the Minor Premiers, it had a list of previous winners & therefore look to have a bit more kudos.

While I would have loved us to have played our skins off and won it last Thursday - that would have really felt like [iwinning[/i it - I'm very grateful to the Dragons for playing well and making sure we didn't lose it. Although we have been unbelievably frustrating this season - because we have a good team but one with too often a bad attitude - we have been at the top for most of it and therefore by default deserve this piece of silverware.

While I'm a bit bemused by the fact that we are official winners as we have had two losses on the bounce, I'm sure by Friday night I will have gotten my head around it and hopefully the club will celebrate it in some way although it's a bit awkward I suppose with our opposition for the night being Castleford.

Still, I'm really glad we now have a piece of silverware in the cupboard. Let's hope that this gives our young and inexperienced team the impetus it needs to kick on.
