I don't think you'll get many arguments lad, the signs are there (sadly) of a team in decline, maybe the boost of the new stadium might halt it in it's tracks, here's hoping

There's only one way to go when you are on top and that is down. Ask the pies.

I've heard Saints have a lot of good juniors coming through.

You beat the Rhinos reserve team and they were full of SL experience.

People say this every year.

I think it'll be true though from now on.

Always said that the past two years have been transition for Saints. Will also say that our next three seasons will also be the same in relation to performance. Will be close or there bouts class wise but will have alot to live up to. Financially have other fish to fry collaterally wise but better to be that way in four years time and then walk all over any competition than play pretenders now and make excuses. Or is this short sighted-ness

Seven players in the first team squad over the age of 30 next season, it's not rocket science.

The "superb young players" who are going to replace them getting battered by Wigan reserves for the last two seasons.

I rest my case.
