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 |

38 degrees in the daytime 25+ at night. Needed lots of beer to keep me cool, especially last Sunday afternoon. |

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

With any luck this "tradition" of picking the lowest placed team will carry on year after year and the RFL will realise it is a waste of time and the idea can be quietly dropped.'"
I say keep it for now. Sky sports news go live to the club call and talk about it for sometime after, not something we get very often in RL. |

Wow, that's hot. Pity Wigan (or is that Saints) spoilt the Sunday. |

Considering that was a monday morning about 11am anyway it was hardly peak time so we werent gaining much exposure! And that isnt happening this year anyway the club call is straight after our game sunday evening. I see Brian McDermott has just blasted the system.

As much as I think it is a bit ridiculous we have a top 8 system for a 14 team league, I can't see Sky wanting the number of teams competing in the playoffs changing, so I think the best bet is to revert to the same system the NRL use. Works well enough down under! |

Go back to the top five system, it rewarded the team that finished top by giving them a week off in round one, and then they only had to win one game to reach the final.
The top eight rewards mediocrity.

Completely agree and the other feature of the top 5 system that makes it far superior is that for any side other than the one finishing top of the league to win it they must beat all the sides that finished above them to with the trophy. |

What makes me laugh here is the fact that everybody thinks that if, and it's a big if, inbreds beat Catalan on Sunday evening, Wire will send them to Saints and they will beat Saints and go to OT v Wire!!!
TBH, I hope they do send pie men to us, I'd rather play a busted side who look shattered, than an inform Leeds team, who I think will do a number on Huddersfield, I'd really fancy Saints chances in the semi final.
Also don't rule out Wire bottling it v Leeds either, Leeds owe Wire 1.
What price Saints v Leeds part 4?
But I'll go for Saints v Wire GF
