You finished top because the MRP were butthurt about the Knowles appeal last season. Had they played fair saints would have finished top by about 8 points.

In the grand final Wigan were utterly terrible. There were about 7 teams that would have turned you over.

By all means, get giddy about winning the grand final but it’s easily the worst team to win SL since 1996 and definitely the most boring

We finished top despite having our loop/Magic fixtures include HKR away (4th), Leigh away (5th) and Catalan Magic (3rd)

Saints had Wire away (6th), Cas away (11th) and Huddersfield Magic (9th)

We did well didn't we?
WW69, Lebron, et al get back under your stone and lets have a good discussion with other fans who are open to real and fair debate.

He is and always has been in all his guises. He's actually a Rugby Union troll who pretends to support whichever team he feels will give him the best opportunity to troll these boards.

Expect a new 2024 username of something like SaintsBackInTheirBox23 or similar as he re-emerges as a lifelong Wigan fan

Where have all the Saints posters gone? Why are they not posting/discussing at present? It may have something to do with being sore losers?

It's the off season mate, not much reason to be going on oppo boards. First time I've logged into RLFans for a few weeks and that was only to read reaction to the IMG gradings.

Fwiw I am gutted about Eseh, thought he'd be a really good signing and I was nowhere near as down on Saints' recruitment compared to yours as others when I thought we'd be signing Eseh and a centre. Can't really say the same now, does feel like there's a bit of malaise around the fan base.

Personally, I think we'll be fine for next year and will compete well and either of us could win the big one. It's subjective but I still think our first choice pack is the best in the league, and is well up there even if we suffer 2-3 big absences. I am however a bit worried about where we go from there, as there doesn't seem to be any kind of succession recruitment to get us ready for what is likely a huge transition period over the next few years. Missing out on Eseh kind of feels like a confirmation of that. Likewise, whilst I am very happy with Clark, he is another short term stop gap that's just gonna tide us over for the next 2-3 seasons.

I have faith though, even when we were dogshit for a couple of years, we still winded up competing and being in and around the semis consistently and I trust the club to know what it's doing.

Enjoy the off season. Kind of feels similar to our off season in 2017. Of course, difference being you won this year and we missed out in 2017, but that's probably the most buzzed I've ever been for an off season as you could sense something special was brewing. No doubt feels like that for you guys now too. Be interesting to see if you can make it count on the board of honours like we eventually did

Welcome back pal, the offseason doesn't seem to apply to Redvee but so what.

It is good to read your comments and to be honest, on the whole, I agree with them. I think Saints will be there or thereabouts next season if they can get their main troops on the pitch at the right time. It as inevitable that you would have a fall in standards at some point, it happens to all successful teams in sport, the challenge is what Rush, McManus and Wellens do to fix it. For what it is worth, I think that some of your fans are getting too exercised by recent events which may be due to the fact that we won the GF and we are strengthening our squad. We need a good Saints team competing if this sport is to survive although I hope we beat you every time we play.
