Of course, mate. Enjoy the pre season and enjoy listening to your grandad reminisce about how he remembers Warrington being the champs when he was a little boy.

Please give over - as already stated Wire ' s expansive style in the really big games actually made "dull as ditch water" Saints look entertaining. .........

Whichever way you look at it Saints were tedious and won nothing, didn't even make a final. Of course that was all down to the RFL conspiring against you, no doubt>

History tells us that Leeds were champions in 2007, 2008 and 2009, Wigan were champions in 2010 and Leeds again in 2011.

Saints contested all 5 finals, but guess what, it doesn't matter because it's Leeds and Wigan's names that are on the trophy for them years and nobody cares that Saints were even in final. Even Saints fans want to forget it. But hey, you enjoy 'being' in a final (and losing again)if that what matters to you.

Just so I'm clear, you prefer finishing 4th and playing tedious rugby all season to making the Challenge Cup final, the Grand Final and taking the League Leaders Shield (scoring the most points int the process). In which case you are easily satisfied and with a bit of luck your team won't disappoint you again next season.

I don't remember saying anything about being happy to finish 4th?

As a fan who has been spoilt watching my team in countless finals, I'm saying that losing in a final is nothing to be happy or satisfied about. If you're satisfied to lose in major finals then good for you and your club.

When Saints lose in a major final it is classed as a failed season to the fans.

Come back on here and gloat when you've actually won a title.


Ps. Notice how our big rivals still haven't come on this board rubbing our noses in it, and they've actually won a title. Imagine what that must feel like.

I started the thread. I certainly don't claim to speak for all the fans. Most of whom actually wanted Wire to win.

Saints fans expect trophies next year mate. Will be 3 years since we've won one, next year. Which is unacceptable for a club of our stature. Imagine that.

Strangely I don't recall saying anything about being "satisfied" with losing in both finals. You were the one that started the gloating thread, I commented as I thought it odd that a supporter of a team which didn't make either final and played a tedious brand of rugby felt they held the moral high ground.
I accept it was not particularly bright of me to expect a rational discussion.
Start a thread about Wigan you'll probably find some of their fans will respond to it.

First, moral high ground is a reference to what society recognises as justice or doing the right thing, which is not relevant to a bit of rugby league banter between rival fans...but I'm just being pedantic to annoy you, which so happens to be the purpose of this whole thread. And you lot came onto it like wasps round a theme park bin. You were never going to have a rational discussion on here.

However, Warrington are looking good, they're recruiting well and they're a real threat next year. So, let's draw a line under it. Have a good pre-season.
