the "Sky" generation who have only seen the Saints "Dominate". If one title in 6/7 years can be called Dominate!


Not wanting to be pedantic but that's a very convenient way of looking at things given the SuperLeague has existed for longer than that. Whilst I agree with what you are saying to some point, I think the 'Domination' aspect comes mainly from the sports media and that itself is probably due much to the fact that we have finished top of the league for the last four seasons (disregarding the knock out playoffs/grand final aspect for a moment). Its one of those generalisations/exaggerations that the likes of Sky like to perpetuate and far to many people are all to keen to take as gospel.

FWIW I'm not attempting to turn this into a debate either about title history or the merits of the league leaders shield etc.

Penguins (order Sphenisciformes, family Spheniscidae) are a group of aquatic, flightless birds living almost exclusively in the southern hemisphere. Highly adapted for life in the water, penguins have countershaded dark and white plumage, and their wings have become flippers. Most penguins feed on krill, fish, squid, and other forms of sealife caught while swimming underwater. They spend about half of their life on land and half in the oceans.

So are those binoculars you have pointing the wrong way? :lol: :lol: :wink:

Arrogance. There's more than two teams in this league.
And more this year than ever the competitive nature is higher than ever


There maybe more than two teams in the league I agree, but after saints the rest are way behind and not capable of stringing a winning streak together....only celtic seem possible of stringing a continous run.

Phil Bentham scoured the video tape and despite conclusive evidence that Smith was a half yard offside, he allowed the try to stand.

Saints are a big-game team with bags of big-game experience. They have won five Challenge Cups from six final appearances in the Super League era and have won five Grand Finals in that time too.

Add two World Club Championships to that and you have the roll-call of the best rugby league team this country has produced in the modern-era - and it's a phenomenal record.

Funny as f00k. The best is that despite this level playing field and 'sub standard quality' Wigan are still below average. :lol:
