1st team to win super league.
1st team to win it twice.
1st team to win challenge cup at new wembley.
1st team to win league leaders sheild.
More super league champs than any team.
More challenge cups in super league era.
Don't make me list our trophies next to yours ![]()
In all seriousness, that's all rather recent and selective history though isn't it? For a game that has been played for well over 100 years, why pick just the last 10-15 years to compile your historic facts?
How about a few others to offset your selected facts?
First team to win at the old Wembley?
Last team to win at Central Park?
Last 2 teams to beat Saints at Murrayfield?
First British club to win a WCC in Australia?
First British club to win a WCC?
Most Challenge Cups overall?
More league champs than any other team (note not SL champs, but league champs)?
Non-Australian Golden Boot winners?
Only team to win SL and then not get to the Grand Final?

This happens in all sports for all successful teams, always has, always will. A big team's line is up so quickly because they are aggressive in defence, a little team must be offside. We all want to avoid Saints in the cup both because we know they are a good team, but also because we suspect that those 50/50, benefit of the doubt decisions are likely to go their way. It is a bitter pill, but in RL at least it still gets passed around over the years and decades, which is some consolation.

So that helps prove that refs always favour Saints at home ... |

At the end of the day, Catalan go high and mess about at the PTB, everyone knows they do, it shows in the amount of penalties they have conceded, Saints also do this, but they don't get penalised as much for it, Saints are talented and have the skill to win, they don't need to mess about at the PTB but they seem to do this.
In my own opinion of course. =].
Also, how did this thread go on to, Saints vs Leeds - whos best. Saints vs Wigan - whos best? :S

I read what had been posted up to your post, to which I responded.
This thread was started about a particular team 'bending' the rules.
Another poster claimed that refs are 'nice' to a particular team – especially when that team is at home.
It was subsequently pointed out that a particular 'bending of the rules' was happening across the board. Which, unless, penalties were only applied to one team for such an offence, suggests that this 'bending of ye old world rules' is not limited to any one team.
Ergo, the title and main tenet of this thread is bølløcks. |

| Top teams get the 50/50 calls going in their favour, doesnt matter what the sport, what the ref, so yes, in context of the thread title, it is innacturate, Leeds should also be in there 
As it happens I think for the most part Thaler had a good game, and wasnt giving calls in anyones favour (though I do think the forward pass call to deny cats was wrong)
My personal point was that at a stage where the game was still in reach of a Cats side who have shown the can make a big come back Thaler made two calls that were utterly incorrect and within a couple of minutes the game was over as a contest.
So in this case two, almost identical, bad calls turned the game from a contest to a whitewash. |

Might as well have named the thread "Everyone who is jealous of saints post here"
