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

Be interesting to see what happens if it does go down to the final day. Wigan v Warrington Thursday, Hull FC v Leeds Friday, Catalan v Castleford Saturday and Huddersfield v St Helens Sunday.

Especially if table is like this:

St Helens (36) - Wakefield L Leeds W Warrington L Huddersfield
Wigan (36) - Hull KR W Widnes W Leeds L, Warrington.
Leeds (36) - London W, St Helens L Wigan W, Hull FC.
Castleford (36) - Warrington L, Bradford W Wakefield W, Catalan.
Warrington (36) - Castleford W, Huddersfield W, St Helens W, Wigan.
Huddersfield (34) - Widnes W, Warrington L, Hull FC W, St Helens.

Same for eighth spot too with Salford v Widnes Friday, Wakefield v Hull KR Sunday.


That would be fun!!

Shouldn't the thread title be changed to "Impossible to finish top", given our customary implosion due to practically all our key players being out injured and Brown trying to force square pegs into round holes?

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.
Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.

We don,t usually have an implosion at the end of the fixture season, sometimes we are slow starters or the occasional mid season slump, its different this year in that our results are not predictable due to our Jeckyll and Hyde performances. My opinion is that we need to win 2 games to finish in the top 4.

With Roby being our last surviving playmaker, if the opposition shut him down then we are in trouble to create anything of significance.

We are 3 points better at the moment than our Superleague 13 standing which might suggest the game is weaker and levelling out.

Remind me the last time we won the Grand Final. Even when we've been favourites and the best side through the season there's been times we've choked.

We should be way ahead of every other club in the terms of silverware in the SL era. That we're not is bloody annoying.

This thread we are talking about finishing top of the league, a grand final is a seperate issue.

Definitely is. It may come down to points difference for 6th but it could easily happen

Us bei 3 points better does not mean the competition is weaker. I would say we should be better given that we have had Walsh and Amor added to the ranks.

If we had the same points as last year, then we would be a little disappointed.

It's hard to measure quality season to season. It's very in the eye of the beholder. In those 'better' years we still took hammerings against the Green and Gold. But given their increase in the cap you would expect that over the years WCC wins would become less and hammerings by them more often.

Another opportunity presents itself.

I'm just awaiting Saddened to lay into this Wigan team and the ancient cart horses they are carrying and their uninspiring signings.

I think the word is competitive.

Only if Leeds lose to London and Cas to Warrington. Either one of Leeds or Cas go above us if they win and we don't as they have better points differences than us don't they?
