Is the Big Four Thing Now Dead? : Mon Apr 20, 2009 6:59 pm  

Since the start of Super League the big four has been talked about as Being..
Saints,Leeds,Wigan and Bradford..

Well at the moment Leeds and Saints still set the standards..

Wigan-great name,history and past success but even the most biased of Wigan fans has to admit they aren't in Leeds and Saints class..

Bradford-Bullmania died 3 years ago bit of a shame really,remember the days they'd bring thousands in travelling support,Bullpower stickers in all the cars..?
The fans used to be in the ground hours before kick off..
Well its all come crashing down and things don't look good for them at the minute..

Other clubs have threatened to break the big Four ourselves and Hull to name two....

But does anyone think there will be a so called big four again?
Or is it a question of who will stop Leeds and Saints winning the big trophies?

We have been tipped to do it by numerous pundits,commentators and other people involved in the game..
And we should have done it with the money that has been invested in the squad thats what i was getting at...

I actually yearn for the days of the 'Big 4'....at least there was an element of competition to it all, and you were never quite sure of the order they'd finish in....it was a bit like the Premier League.

Nowadays, it all resembles the Scottish Premier League, with 2 very good teams, and the rest just squaballing among themselves....

Well, look at the last two SL finals Leeds and Saints. Wouldn't surprise me if it's the same again this year, unlike the rest of the Superleague in the past few seasons both teams have sustained challenges for the SL. Which us and many others teams stuggled to do.

I dissagree. There was never a big 4 anyway. There was a period when it was Saints or Bradford winning everything with the odd interuption with a Wigan / Leeds trophy. Now it is Saints and Leeds winning everything and the odd interuption from Hull and Bradford in 05.

but he tips us every season to do well..

What is good at the moment in super league,

but like earlier poster said,can t see past leeds and saints to battle it out in the grand final yet again...














with leeds the victors.
