I agree with all that. I can see hudds taking over from leeds.

I have been watching Wigan/Saints games for 50 years. I am still waiting for Saints to decline......................Let's face it. It's not going to happen.

After our 4 grand finals defeats we have been in decline





I think with the three players we are bringing in will make us alot stronger next year.

You miss my point entirely! Sorry but as we found in the mid 90's nothing lasts forever. There are at least 12 other clubs in Superleague who would swap places with you. And to get to a grand final without key players like Pryce and Eastmond is a major achievement and if you had them on the field last night would you have been discussing a decline today? Yes, over a very short period you have declined and I love you for it! But just be patient - your new coach will take you to a different level. You have the youngsters, some great players joining next season and a new stadium to look forward to. Just be grateful that you don't support one or two other teams that I could mention in Superleague! You won't win all the games and you won't win all the trophies. Be grateful for what you have achieved and look forward to the future and some more thrilling Wire, Wigan, Rhinos and now Giants encounters!

The word decline is wrong, it's rebuilding.

In rebuilding we have stayed at the top level so far, wigan went in to a 12 year decline when they rebuilt.

The rebuilding at saints is far from over but i think with three good players coming in, we are now seeing the light after only two years of our rebuild.

Buying players is a risk.

It is WAY too early to be making predictions like that.

Although i think hudders will be fightinh for top 4 next year.

Next year I expect
1. Wigan
2-4 Saints, Warrington, Leeds, in any order
5-6 Hudds and Hull KR

any of the top four will be potential champions but I would say Wigan are slight favourites, and Warrington are fourth favourites

I can't see leeds making the top 4 next year, now that is a team in decline.

It was a Jest. The RFL should be renaming the Grand Final to.....Who Beats Saints Final this play off competiton belongs to us now.

fourth behing Leeds???

never. We finished third this year and that was a balls up. We have genuine proven talent coming in to glue it together. I think we could be breathing down Wigan's neck again this year.

saints will be the new leeds..no cunningham end of the empire bye bye..

I didn't know cunningham had played for Leeds?
