Some people are making it sound like we've given up on the league, we're second to a team we play in 4 weeks. And we have competed in so classic matches that I have thoroughly enjoyed, won lost or even the draw. With a fit squad of players, that have all had a lot of game time this year it's not unrealistic to mount a challenge of the league.

Yeah, this sums it up for me. Apart from a background paranoia that I'm somehow dreaming or making it all up, I'm pretty happy with the way things are going, and even if we think we could be playing better (like last season) we're still right up there competing for every trophy.

Where did all this talk of how the competition isn't good enough come from? I'm sure it wasn't long ago we were talking about how great it was that you couldn't be sure about winning any game, and that still seems to be the case this season - have the tables turned now that we are at the top and expected to win every time?

This.

Some of the moaning in this thread appears to be disgruntlement that other teams are worse than us. Well, when other teams were much better than us, I'm sure they treated us with a fair amount of disdain too. It doesn't mean the league is worse than it was before.

You are correct.

they tried that in 1997 - it cost me a fortune and wasn't very successfull

the only comp that should be revitalised should be the charity shield, CC winners v Superleague winners (supreme champions!), pre season. oh and the regal trophy and if the clubs think its too much for the players put your u20's out, however make a massive prize (money wise) and i'm sure they'd put the best team out!
gives teams more to play for

Agree with this 100%. We've managed to get our house in order with a lot of hard work behind the scenes. Before fans from other clubs start shouting about the Moran money, we already had things well on the way financially before Simon became involved. Fans of Saints and the Bulls need to realise that not everyone can always stay at the top.
