Quote: Aboveusonlypie "My apologies. Saints are worthy Champions. Roby if fit, plus Makinson, Walmsley and McCarthy- Scarsbrook must have been close to selection.
So am I to take it that you think Scott Taylor has a better chance of playing for England with Hull? Or were you just desperate to point out your team's Champion status?
On a related point - are you of the opinion that it is the BEST team that ALWAYS wins the GF (I did say Wigan were the best team, though of course, not Champions any longer)?'"
Just having a bit of fun! Saints were underdogs and Wigan were the better team, whether that would be the case if both teams were at full strength is up for debate. But in terms of form going into the GF, Wigan were undoubtedly the better team.
As for Scott Taylor, sadly he would have a better chance of earning recognition playing for a top team. That shouldn't be the case but unfortunately selectors can't seen to get past 'big team syndrome' and picking players from, teams that are playing well. Kevin Brown for one is a victim of this.
