1 - Tell me why you want to get rid of Roby again???

4 - Why do you watch saints, when all you ever do is slag them off?
I too, am not saying that we'll win it, but I remember the 80's and early 90's, god help us if you was around then!!! You would have topped yourself!!!'"
1 - I don't want to get rid of Roby. I just think the psychological scars will run deep.
2 - That's exactly what they said about Columbus, Einstein and Darwin. I'm not wrong, I'm just too advanced for 2012.
3 - I enjoy(ed) watching rugby league and support the team 110% (When Wello doesn't have the ball, in which case I boo)
4 - I think you are repeating yourself now, this is like talking to my Gran

| Who would not want to see the team they support in the Grand Final
I like seeing Saints make it to the big night and be in contention of being crowned Champions, despite the 5 in a row. I think being 80 minutes from a 7th consecutive Grand Final shows the team's character and desire to get there and be in with a shout of being crowned Champions. I would rather Lose the Grand Final than not be there as it is the aim of all 14 clubs at the start of the season to be there on Grand Final night...
Rant Over

If we lost for the 6th time, would you go to the 7th?

Yes, because they are the team I support, it's a simple as that.

And if they lost the 7th, would you go to the 8th?

| Even if we lost 10 in a row I'd still go to the 11th. It's only down the road and is always a good day out
I don't think we'll get to this year's GF though

| I don't buy into this defeatist attiude from some Saints fans about getting to Old Trafford.
I can't go anyway this year as I'm at a wedding on GF day but it doesn't stop me desperatly wanting us to get there.
We'll never get the monkey off our backs by not getting there.

| The more we keep on losing a grand final the closer we get to winning one. Will be there,would hate it if we won the final and I wasn,t there to take in the winning atmosphere.
Last 4 defeats we always seem to go into the final with injures before or on the day of the final and we have never performed at our best, we need a bit of lucky luck. If we win next week, I will be expecting to win the final........as usual.

That's what drives me back even though after last year's loss I said to everyone who would listen that I was never going back, as I felt that last year's loss was worse than the others because of the nature of the loss rather than because it was five losses.

| I'm starting to think we have some of the most ridiculous fans in the league.
Firstly, after a sensational performance at HJ - meaning we have won twice where everyone else in the league has failed - I returned to the board to find a couple of rare posts celebrating the win, outnumbered considerably by 3 and 4 page threads criticising the usual scapegoats. Other boards would be full of threads rejoicing in a hammering of their local rivals, cup winners and many people's favourites for the title. Not us.
And now this. If you are seriously wanting your team to miss out on Final day, give it up. Just give it up.
100% I want Saints to get there. 100% I'll be there cheering them on. And, despite the result, I'll 100% want to be there again next year.
As has been said, god help some of you if you'd been around in the 80s...

| Not every team can start winning major finals as soon as they get to them like Wire did, you guys need to keep getting there and getting experience in the cauldron of the big occasion and one day you will have a bit of luck go your way and it could be the confidence boost you need to start becoming a side that wins trophies like us.

Nice try...............................you can only watch Back to the Future so many times, then you start to believe you were there and no one will convince you otherwise.

No matter how many times we lose the Grand Final I would still go and watch them in every Grand Final they get to because they are the team I support through thick and thin. Take the rough with the smooth, and as previously mentioned we have been spoilt with the success we have had in the Super League Era and we are having a baron spell in terms of silverwear... does that mean I should not go and watch them in any final they make it to?
The answer to that is NO... at the end of the day I'm a Saints fan and now matter how ace or how badly we are playing I will always support them and will always want to go to the Grand Final when we are there.
