Do you really think anybody is going SAY that?

The standards in RL are dropping like a brick, but if you are happy with the standard, And your teams hollow victory great... Congrats to Stains... No doubt it will be back to being "The hubcap" next year if someone else wins it.

You're talking to a Wigan fan there aren't you?

I think you are a bit confused. Saints aren't my team.

If you read the rest of my post ~I argue that standards are indeed dropping, contrasting with our 2010 victory in the very same LLS - which I recall was well and truly celebrated at the time.

However Saints are the best in a very poor competition. But if they are the worst winners of a LLS what does that make us who came second?

I think 7th and 8th are fairly strong this season.

You've played one meaningful game against a really top side all year in the challenge cup against Leeds and you got beat.

So you've done even worse than us losing your only meaningful game at home to Castleford then?

By many saints fans own admission, you won't win the GF now apparently due to injuries, hence the sudden desire amongst many of your mob to win the LLS. But you've just provided examples of when you have beaten your rivals without these players. So when/if you limp out of the playoffs, you can't use injuries as an excuse. Whether walsh/lomax et al were fit or not, you won't the GF this year because you have a soft underbelly.

It was a good result for saints not because it gave them the LLS, but because it gave them a home tie against a inexperienced knackered looking Cas team. Against anyone else they'd be losing and going out of the playoffs the week after. But this, this gives them hope. That means that saints will be one home game away from a grand final.

Just close enough to get saints fans dreaming and mouthy again, but just far enough to create dissapointment when falling short.

God help you guys if you get through the semi and wind up at old trafford again.

Slightly different to 6 months ago Two Faced Timmy Ten Names. Have we signed a whole new less mobile powerful pack in that time?

So the redvee machine rolls on with yet another victory, currently 100% in all competitions. I must say the mob that have rolled off the production line this year, are a cut above the rest.

They have the perfect blend of power and mobility in the pack, creativity in the centre and pace out wide. They have a good blend of youth and experience as well. The big thing is that they have pace out from the back, they suffered for years against leeds in the grand finals because of this, but no more.

They have that winning mentality back and they'd be my tip for at least 1 of the 2 trophies on offer this year. I would have them down for the CC but it looks like once again wigan will get a bye through to the final.

And it's the format that brings about these pipe dreams from clubs like Huddersfiejd and Saints that a few meaningless regular round wins means they're better then the likes of Leeds and Warrington. You've played one meaningful game against a really top side all year in the challenge cup against Leeds and you got beat.

Unlike Huddersfield last year you guys will be able to use the 'we've got injuries' comfort blanket when you limp out of the play offs.

This is hilarious.

What meaningful games have Wigan won this year? Dewsbury? Hunslet? Because as I remember it, you lost to the first SL team you played (at home). Saints had a "meaningful" game in the cup before Leeds, we won at Huddersfield.

So really, we have won more "meaningful" games than Wigan this season. And more SL games full stop, hence finishing above you.

All teams have lost a meaningful game except Leeds, because only the cup winners will have not lost a "meaningful" game at this stage. So by your logic, the cup winners are always the best team every season up to the play-offs, rather thamn the team that wins the most league games?

Top logic.

It doesn't need to be logical, it just needs to have a pop at Saints. This is all NickyKiss does.
