Quote Dougy="Dougy"Saints team of 2006, which broke the salary cap btw, had no competition at all. Leeds were poor, Bradford were poor and Wigan were all poor that season. There biggest challengers were Hull with no GF experience at all and even they proved to be a one-season wonder. Any decent team would have wonthe double that year.'"
I did think this at the time and as Bilko said on twitter people were more interested in our great escape than their double.
We've been told we had the easiest cup draw ever but there's that year was similar.
They had Doncaster h, Bradford h, Catalans h, Hull KR and Huddersfield.
That's two championship teams and the 4th, 9th and bottom super league teams. They also only beat Hull in the play offs who, whilst good that year, are hardly play off veterans.
That's not to say Saints weren't great that year it's just that it can take some luck to do the double.
