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.

[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj] Kevin Sinfield:982.jpg



Quote: Tony Soprano "Nice buffing but your team of the decade still finished 4th behind Hull and failed to make the grand final
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.

I know this a Saints forum but you might just want to check the accuracy of your ramblings before you post them sunshine.
