Funny this thread. And there I was thinking we had won 3 trophies in 2 seasons.

Think you will find the last seasons kind of prove we are, lets re-cap.....
2010 - League Leaders winners
2010- Grand Final winners
2011 - Challenge Cup Winners
Hardly "Living in the past" is it? |

| In the Modern Era:
Super League Champions:
Saints 5 - Wigan 2.
Challenge Cup Winners:
Saints 7 - Wigan 2.
That's 12 to 4 and if we include League Leaders then:
Saints 6 - Wigan 2.
That makes the score:
Saints 18 - Wigan 6!
Looks to me like if anyone's being overshadowed in the modern era, it's not Saints

But you are just proving the point that RL didn't begin in 1996, just as football didn't begin with the advent of the Premier League.

Ah! but we are now talking about Super League. Like the play-offs it is a new competition and Saints are leading the way.   |

It always was.
Do Salford, Cas, Huddersfield, HKR, Wakefield etc spend the same as Wigan, Wire & Leeds?
in the 1970's did Wire not buy half the Leigh team, did Salford under Brian Snape not buy a lot of very good players, Charlton, Hesketh, Burgess, Dixon, Fielden, Richards etc.
Did Hull and HKR not invest heavily in Aussie and NZ players?
Did Saints not buy, Newlove, Scully, Sullivan, Martyn, Nickle, Joynt etc? |

Too much sangria here, a certain team that used to have their own ground used to spend more money just on large brown envelopes than half the teams spent on their players wages in pre SL era. |

And that team nearly went bust and needed to have dispensation to spend miles more than everyone else (aka an advantage) after the cap was introduced just to cover the hugh wages it was paying certain players |

That's a bit rich from a team that's just lost £1.3 million in one season! Ask at the shareholders meeting how you are going to deal with the image rights and EBT trust payments from HMRC that are coming your way. |
