As usual with fans of teams not doing well, they tend to be disingenuous to the team at the top and the league as a whole.
Saints are a great team, who play with an aggression and a shape few can match when at full strength. They'd give any other successful team in the SL era a game.

Yep. Their speed across the team along with their speed and accuracy of passing on top of a big strong pack make them a very very good team. Up there with the best SL era teams we’ve seen in my opinion.

If Saints do win the title, as they deserve to, it will be very interesting to see how they fare in the WCC - depending on how much of their squad they can keep together now.

Mark of a real era champion side is taking out WCC titles: I know the Aussies haven't always taken it seriously enough but I remember when we played Canterbury at Elland Road and the intensity we took into that was unbelievable.

My personal pick would be the game we won against Melbourne for intensity.

What elements of the game are this Saints team currently lacking?

Blue and Amber shirts? It's about all I can think of...

Normally I support an underdog when Leeds are out of a competition, but I hope Saints win both the Challenge Cup and Grand Final. They are so far ahead of anyone else it would be an injustice for them not to win the treble.
