| Since 2000 leeds have won more titles than any other super league team.
So in that sense i guess they have a claim as the title is the main trophy teams aim for.
But saints have won far more CC's and overall trophies since then. So saints are still the best team of the last decade.
When judging something like this you have to go on trophies.
Someone earlier in the thread was quoting a line up and a style of play and claiming that was the team of the decade.
But that saints team finished 4th (a leeds team in heavy transition finished just behind them) and they didn't even collect the title. So it's ludicrous to suggest that side is the team of the decade.
I think in future when people look back on the recent era (last 5 or so years) saints will be remembered as a great team who never won the titles they should have.
Leeds have won 4 titles in the last 6 years, if they can remain up there for another 4 years then maybe they can claim the decade from 2004 to 2014.

That was a wonderful team to watch but was a bit light up front. When you got to the bench it was the likes of Stankevitch and Jonkers, and we lacked a bit of grunt in the second row.
I think the 2006 side would take that one, but for sheer class that side was a joy to watch when it clicked.

If I were a fan of a team that had a blue and amber monkey on my back for three straight years I'd find it really challenging to pretend my team was really the team of the decade, especially as you've limped out of the decade with such a whimper.
