with all the talk of saints in 2006 being the best of all time(excuse me if someone has pointed this out and i missed it), does the fact they breached the salary cap that year not exclude them as they had an unfair advantage over everyone who didn't


Quote: St Helens agree with and accept the penalty of a £22,000 fine for breach of the salary cap in season 2006.

Quote: Odem "I'll tell you what is FACT. These greatest teams will never play each other, so we will never know.

Fact number 2.... this decent thread has been ruined by you muppets having a willy measuring contest over nothing.'"

Fact number 2 isn't a fact, it's an opinion icon_wink.gif
But it's good to know that you've decided to whack a ruler next to yours just then to show you're the bigger man. Well done.

If someone says something I disagree with, I'm entitled to disagree with it. It was on topic. It was discussing the best English club team of all time. If you don't like it, scroll past it. Don't go throwing petty insults our way as that is what ruins a thread.

Quote: Wellsy13 "You can't say it was a fact for sure, let's be fair. For all we know, they could have had two complete off games. I don't think they would have, but it's not a fact.
Smokey thinks they'd have lost either way though, so that must be a fact.'"


You're missing my point. It was a Smokey fact.

Indeed. Which is massively different to an [iactual[/i fact.

Quote: SmokeyTA "I think Leeds 04 set the benchmark in attacking play as Saints 06 did defensively. The only reason i could downplay the 06 saints is their competition in 06 was as poor as it has been in a long time. Bradford had fallen to pieces. Controversy at the start of the season meant Leeds imploded, christ we were that bad Wire won a play off game. A fairly workmanlike Hull side got to a GF and were in my opinion the worst side to get to a GF.
Who would win between Leeds 04 and Saints 06? i have no idea. It would be a game i would love to see but i have no idea who would have won.'"


Fair comment that but the '06 Saints never lost a knockout game that year whereas Leeds '04 lost in the cup and in the playoffs too. They were pretty red hot though that year despite those losses.

Reading through his points, they're all myths icon_wink.gif
