Unfortunately, it seems the quality of available players this year is spread more evenly although more thinly between the super league clubs & so we have more equality among the teams....has the salary cap finally achieved its aim ? But ,on the other hand, a more even spread of playing talent will mean coaches have to do more to get the weekly wins instead of being able to rely on their superior ,more expensive squads. It will show who the good coaches are as this level spread of talent will probably be the norm for the foreseeable future. Managing injuries will also be crucial so good back room staff will be vital.

On a positive ,but ironic note, the much criticised London have been relegated, but this must be their best season ever for supplying up & coming southern talent to other SL clubs.

The table doesn't lie well done

As a Saints fan I offer sincere thanks to the fans of other teams for their words of congratulation, it means a great deal. I value the LLS because you have to emerge victorious over 27 rounds, no mean feat.

There's still a great deal to play for however, and for me the race to Old Trafford is wide open and will be an exciting one. Good luck to all.

Its not. But it's a false position. Totally false.

Until every team is trying their very best every week we can't crow about finishing top. This Saints side, even with Walsh and Lomax in it, isn't the best side in SL. That will be shown, again for a 7th consecutive year, by us finishing without either of the major trophies. It's not down to injuries that we'll end up there either.

We're not as fit as the top sides and we don't want it as much as the big sides. We're not as well coached and tactically we're nowhere. The squad itself is good enough to win trophies, but there are a lot of things that need to improve before we'll win anything.

Do you have a 24 hour timer switch which reverts back to sad mode. We dont want reality until next week.

I bring balance to the force. Someone has got to bring you lot down off the ceiling. Without me you'd all be as dillusional as the X-Factor contestents that swear blind that they're aren't terrible and that Simon is wrong.

Anyone trying to pull this down is just interested in themselves.

Brian Mac and wane both have stated they wanted top spot

Would have helped to have all games kick off at the same time on the final weekend
