Quote: Grimmy "Would that be the same Saints who finished in the top 2 every year from 07-10 and got zero Grand Final wins to show for it? Of course we want to win every game but the system we have means you have to be able to raise your game/not choke in those knockout games or you come out with nothing but a hubcap. We have seen Leeds do it in the past and win a lot of silverware, Wane's Wigan likewise. That's where I'm questioning Lam based on his record so far. What do the players say every year when they win the LLS? "This is nice but it means nothing unless we go and win the Grand Final."'"
That Saints team won the CC in 2008, but outside of that - Is that side an anomaly? You could probably make a case for it. Us, Wire, Leeds and the current Saints side have all, at some point, had a period of consistency that's resulted in trophy wins.
There's more it it than just luck of the playoffs. If you're consistently a good team, then history proves (apart from one side) that you'll win a trophy or two.
