If I had to rank in percentage terms how important I deem the three trophies I'd go GF- 70%, CC-29% and LLS-1%.'"
Agree with that. LLS means very little under present set up. Last season we were burnt out at the business end so this season resting players we will see. The Cc and GF double is a very big ask, lets get the 1st one done and dusted. We can all see Sam has not been %100 for weeks we need him %100 big time

The Communist Cap - dragging down success and aspiration to the levels of those who cba.: |

| Quote: Father Ted "I buy two season tickets which cost around £400 for the home league matches. I see quite a few away games too which cost extra dosh.
The Super League weekly rounds matter to me.
If the LLS is only a 1% issue why do you watch the games?
The C Cup is just that, different but great!
As for the play offs and GF. The crowds for the play offs are going down each year so fans are losing interest. Everyone loves a final that's why the C Cup and GF are so popular.
I just don't get it that we watch the league all year then say it isn't important.
I don't get that, I really don't!'"
But those are the rules of the competition. All teams play to them.
I take your point that the fact that the regular rounds are meaningless does not sit well with you, but that's a consequence of the structure of the competition I'm afraid.
I have to agree with NK.
In terms of importance 66% GF, 33% CC, 1% LLS

I too pay for a season ticket and go to pretty much every away game and even friendlies but I seriously see it as 1% of our overall aim.
I watch the league fixtures because I'd watch any rugby tbh and they do mean something in the sense that they're all part of deciding your eventual position for the stuff that actually matters, which is the play offs and ultimately the grand final at the end if the season.
They certainly don't mean what they used to especially with this ridiculous top 8 play off system though.

That's not quite true though is it? "No more" would only be accurate if the league didn't come with its own piece of silver wear and title.

Silverware. And it was worthless all lose years Saints won it, funny how it's suddenly seen as something to shout about.

No offence but EGW only joined this forum in 2009.
Not sure how you know what his opinion was on Saints winning the LLS the year before?
Unless you are making a sweeping generalisation in order to be petulant?

Petulant,no. Sweeping generalisation, guilty as charged.

Suddenly? Not sure why you've directed that at me.

I was wrong to aim it at you, fair enough. It was more a general statement with regards to the apparent change in recognition of the LLS in recent times.

This debate about the LLS comes up every year amoungst fans of teams who are in with a shout of winning it.
Luckily for you, your speccies don't need to get involved anymore

Haha, not this year anyway. But seriously, it's amazing how many Wigan fans I know used to play it down during the 4 or 5 years we finished top consecutively and then last season it was deemed on par with winning a grand final.

Nothing amazing about it. It's called attempting to belittle your rivals. Which is exactly what you're doing on this thread, and what you do regularly when you visit this board.

Yellow Giraffe is entirely right though. When it comes down to it, the only people that place any importance whatsoever on the LLS are those who either win it, or might do. Once it's won, it has no importance whatsoever to any other team. It shouldn't be like this, but it is. It's nothing to do with belittling your rivals, simply that the sad fact is that the LLS only matters to those who win it. We learnt that many times.

Funnily enough I've known Saints fans over the same period of time who celebrated the LLS like it was the GF itself (just to rub the Wiganers nose in it).
Then played it down when we won it in 2010 & 2012 and looked to win it this season (to the point its been very quiet up until the last month where I received a 'top of the league, you're having a laugh' text.
Strange that!

I genuinely don't recall Saints fans making a big fuss over the LLS, ever.
