No. That's how far you and Bradford have fallen not Super League.

Did it? I thought Super League was contested by four teams each year and it's only since Saints and Leeds have ramped up the consistency that it's become two. I would compare the Saints sides of the past four years favourably against any side that has graced Super League. The side that did the double in 2006 is by far the best this competition has seen.
I'll leave it to someone who has the patience to discuss this matter...

It's so predictable, the fans of clubs who think they have a god given right to dominate always use this pathetic excuse whenever there big money doesn't but success.
FFS it's how the franchise works and it's what people allegedly wanted and even playing field a chance for teams to build. Yet when you get it you don't like it.
Why don't you just face the truth for once. Wakey and Hudds have spent well and built good teams whilst Hull and Bradford haven't.
There is one very simple explanatotion for your plight, you are a poor team regardless of the supertar players you reckon you have. Get over your self and drop the snobbery.
Boo Hoo, didums poor old Hull are losing and Wellsy can't take it - so SL is crap and the teams above are only there because Hull and Bradford aren't performing and they should be because on paper (the worlds best playing surface) they should be, must be, this simply can't be boo hoo boo hoo. This really is the worst attitude any fan can have and ruins our game

Ramped up the consistency or watched a number of their nearest rivals fall back? I know which I'm more inclined to believe.

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions
