Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

You won the Challlenge Cup in 2001, shame a Wigan fan has to remind you

I know but losing 3 in a row is a terrible legacy.
When you look at the record books and see
Winners: leeds runners up: saints
Winners: leeds runners up: saints
Winners: leeds runners up: saints
It just reeks of leeds ownage.
Winning 3 on the trot is unprecedented.......but so is losing 3 on the trot!
The recent saints team has been a very good team but it will be remembered as that team who were leeds b*tches in the grand final for a few years.
In a similiar way the early sl era bulls team is remembered as the 'anyone but saints' team.

I rest my case.'"
Pity you don't rest it in your mouth.
Can't you just go and play with your pie eating friends (sorry forgot you don't have any apart from jonh - in whatever re-incarnation and that buffoon fistula) and stop spouting this ugly mixture of spite and jealousy?
Get a fecking life.

| Whilst i far from think it's the decline of Saints, and I was genuinely upset for you guys tonight (some of my best mates at work are Saints fans), I think Rogues's reaction is maybe just a small reflection of some of the patronising childish crap that's been posted by a [ismall[/i minority of your fans on our board for the past few years - you only need to look at the antics of your south park flavoured friend on pretty much every other board going just as an example.
I'm not condoning it, as personally I think we're all RL fans and shouldn't be looking to point score.
Super League needs all the teams to be growing stronger, and I think this is just a blip for Saints (I can't envisage a long term decline). It will be hard to replace KC, Long, Gilmour, Wellens etc, but you'll get through it.

We battered your second team that included Ellis, Wheeler, Dean, Ashurst, Lomax and Dixon.
Your U18's didn't even make the play offs..
It's o.k. you've signed a 33 year old prop who you shipped out as he couldn't get a place and another hooker when you've already got two (both who were cr@p tonight)
Saints heading South. The only team to lose three Grand finals in a row some record.
Brian , you have not won more than the mighty Wire though. Now the North West 's premier club

If were a spent force then it doesn't say much for Wigan or the rest of super league.
The game last night could have gone either way and even Leeds will say the is nothing between us.
Just check the odds for next year. Even Warrington are above Wigan with the bookies.
Wigan have huge problems as squad is rubbish. Look at your starting pack in the semis when we knocked you out.

Indeed. Sinfield would never have opted for that drop goal so early in the second half had the team and the coach not thought the task a tough one. An early drop goal is always a sign that a team knows it is on the rack and needs every point. It's just a pity a couple of our players - Meli and Cunningham in particular - couldn't have borne that in mind themselves when they were gifting points to the opposition!

Please tell this to Mr.Peacock and Mr.Senior.
Being 30+ doesnt seem to have dented their abilities too much does it.....

I agree and whilst i'd take our squad over yours those saying the decline of saints is on are way off the mark.
You are rebuilding no-doubt and the resonsability within the team is changing but IF you are in decline then the rest of the league must be looking to improve 110% because you are still the 2nd best team in the league.

Spot on mate. That's what I'm saying.
It will be Leeds and saints again in 2010 with maybe the wolves there or there abouts.

| It is quite amusing really to see Wigan fans crowing over Saints not winning a trophy, rather than bemoaning the fact that they were beaten in 2 semis! As a Wire fan, I would still be very wary of any Saints team, whoever they are playing.
But, if this crowing helps them through the dark winter nights in King Street, who are we to deny them.
