The first final I managed to get to was last years, but like you say if it's Saints v Wire I won't be going either.

Quote: FearTheVee "Yeah, reaching 6 GFs on the spin, how embarrassing for us to remain competitive.

I'd rather we nearly got relegated or missed the play-offs entirely like Wigan and Wire in recent years than kept reaching these pesky finals, that would be much better.'"

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.

St. Helens RFC - 2014 League Leaders Shield Winners & Grand Final Winners:



Never wanted us to lose more in my life - I'd much rather watch a Grand Final that could be a classic between Wigan and Warrington than another disappointing one in which one team is clearly not on a par with the other. This Saints team has done well in finishing third and remaining some what competitive at a time when the club is under going massive transitions, however I feel a Grand Final will do more damage than good to the current team. Of course the unthinkable could happen and we could go all the way, however I every much doubt it.

eusa_naughty.gif eusa_naughty.gif 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.

Ridiculous thread, whilst we were slumming it mid table and battling relegation Saints were playing in Grand finals, id certainly have swapped with them.

Me too. Its alright saying I wouldnt of bothered after losing in the final but anybody with half a brain cell would jump at the chance of a final.

Its ok for us to have a little chuckle because they lost em icon_biggrin.gif but lets be honest we would all of rather been there than just sat at home twiddling our thumbs.

Correct, its just plain stupid to have a pop at Saints in the SL era when they have been quite clearly the more dominant of the 2 clubs by a distance. However, the worm has turned as of late.

If St Helens win on Saturday then this could be their year.

A Warrington win in the GF would simply be unbearable. Look at the cr@p spouted after they won their 1st Challenge Cup in a millenium !!

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39110.jpg



I would say saints record stands up pretty well against warrington and seeing them lose the last two games against wire I reckon they would beat them in the final.

I don't think we'll lose on saturday though at the moment.

Is right. It would be their birthday, Christmas and cherry pop all in one go.

Saints are our proper rivals, Wire are just pretenders. People need to remember that.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg



I was discussing the games with my mam today (she's 89 years young) and I asked her who she would want to win if it was a Wire v Saints final.

If looks could kill I'd be laid out now. "I never want Saints to win anything" was her reply.
A REAL Wiganers answer. icon_lol.gif
