I'm not too fussed if people hate us or not! Leeds are a very popular team over here where they appreciate our achievements.
I think you will find Leeds are the most successful team in the salary cap era! Not Wigan who compared to Leeds, Saints and Bradford have failed miserably since the cap was brought in. Wigan bought their success pre salary cap.

Given St Helens have won 1 Super League Champions (SL1) and 4 Grand Finals (5 runners up, 1 Stones Premiership runners-up), 7 Challenge Cups (1 runners up), 2 World Club Challenge victories (2 runners-up apps) whereas Leeds have won 5 Grand Finals (2 runners up) and 1 Challenge Cup (5 runners up) and 3 World Club Challenge victories (2 runners-up apps), I'd say that Saints are the most successful side in the 'salary cap era'.
Saints have won 14 major trophies/titles since 1996 whereas Leeds have won 9. Saints have been runners-up 9 times, Leeds 9 times.
14 beats 9, 9 is a draw against 9 and 23 beats 18. Game, set, match St Helens.
