19 years ago Bradford beat Penrith in the WCC and became the first superleague team to hold all four trophies on offer at the same time. Not even Saints and Leeds have managed to better that.

There are current first team players who weren't even born then.

…and yet the all conquering Leeds Rhinos have never held more than 4 trophies at the same time.

I.m pretty sure Saints did it in the 2006/2007 year, won the Challenge Cup, Won the League Leaders Shield, Won the Grand Final to qualify later for the WCC and beat Bribane Broncos. Had all 4 cups in the cabinet during the 2007 season.
They actually had 5 in total because they also got the BBC Sports Personality Team Award which has never been repeated,
Think the Wigoons did something similar in 1994/95, the 4 trophies were under a different set of silverware.

Do you really want to compare trophy cabinets?
Leeds have won twice as many Grand Finals, and nearly three times the amount of Challenge Cups than Bradford.

| What makes last seasons success even more remarkable was the unprecedented injury crisis they went through.

| Stains did win the BBC sports team award but also Wigan had won it before Stains did.

| The Wigan win against Brisbane in 94 was far more impressive.
Gary Connally put on a more impressive performance at Full-back that day than Elton Welsby did and he wasn't even Wigan's best performer that day, Phil Clarke was.

You know what you have done now,Stains fans will be in uproar and will tell us in so many terms that Stains are the greatest team ever .
I agree with you though.

实事求是!: |

| Not just rugby league, are Saints the greatest sporting institution of any sport, worldwide, ever, in the history of humankind?
There’s something special about St Helens. The little town. It’s almost as if it was the temporal junction point of the entire space time continuum.
Can they win a quadruple of quadruples?

| SKY ran a poll of the best win on OZ soil and it came out 60% in Saints favour. There has also been comments from Morley, Kear, Noble, Buderus, Sully saying in their opinion the Saints win was the more impressive for many reasons.
Our Wigoon fans must remember their team had a net value equal or more than the Brisbane Broncos were full time professionals and and almost had a full Great Britain side because all of the money thrown out to create that team. Years down the line the likes of Robinson, Offiah, Edwards, Farrell, Connolly, John-Mather deserted rugby league and went into bed with rugby union and hence did not contribute anything to the league game with the exception of Dennis Betts. Eventually the "Brown Envelope Maverick" of Maurice Lyndsay set the seeds of failure for the club as Superleague surfaced and became rent boys to Wigan Athletic, also they have never dominated Superleague in the way Bradford, Leeds and Saints have done in this salary capped level playing field era.
The Saints win is huge in many ways and not for the club alone, leading up to the game the Saints Club mantra was that they represented Superleague and not as a club entity by itself. They felt the media disrespected our UK competition and was felt by Wello and his players. The Saints net value salary cap spend is only around £2m compared to Penriths £6.5 that is an enormous disparity compared to the Wigoon/Brisbane one, so that was an enormous challenge in itself.
The Wigoon WCC win didn't really benefit rugby league because other clubs couldn't try the spend and bust format. The Saints win is huge, clubs will see the club structure at saints and see the possibility that in a few years others could emulate it, that would benefit Superleague and we might see the likes of Warrington and Hull jumping on that band wagon first to strengthen the UK game.

13k watched Stains,60K watched Wigan,Stains will never be as big or successful as Wigan,Stains fans just cannot accept that which is a shame as they would sleep better at night and Wigan wouldnt hold so much head space inside the poor souls.
