Quote brook40="brook40"Whats better about finishing 2nd over 3rd 4th ect,isnt it obvious ? its money the higher you finish the more you get,the more chance you have to appear in a grand final ( even if you lose ) the better sponsorship you can get,people will pay that bit more to get their name/logo on tv at the big occasion.'"

Well all that extra money has really helped the saints . Club is massivley in debt. chairman wants the ground open asap so he can plug the life out of it to try and get some money into the club ect. saints have lost a fat wad over the new ground.
Dont get me wrong i understand ur point but to 90% of fans, Rugby is all that matters and results on the pitch.
Wigan as a club has been more cash secure for years than saints, But it dosent show in silverware.
