It's irrelevant, the best team finished top of the league and won the GF. As the great Alex Murphy used to say, 'those that win can laugh and those that don't can please themselves'. I've got a smile as big as the Grand Canyon.

If you all want a laugh, head over to RedVee and read Magic Superbeetle's appraisal of the Saints spine compared to Wigan's on the transfers thread Apparently all are better than their Wigan counterparts apart from Dodd (who will of course be better once he's regained full form as apparently he will do in the off season)

Even Mbye is better than O'Neil! The best one, though, is that Lomax, despite being a virtual no show this season, is better than the league's best player, Bevan French! I must have missed all his good performances this year. To be fair, so did the Man Of Steel panel so at least I'm not in my own.

I just wonder if we'd get any players in that combined team now

The Beetle had his/her heart set on Luke Thompson until it became apparent he was going to Wigan. Funnily enough once that happened Thompson was a huge risk as his injuries had caught up with him. Most comical poster on Redvee and that takes some doing

Sorry mate. Maybe Farrell on the bench...

The man is seriously deluded. Nothing Wigan do can compete with anything Saints do. All our signings for the upcoming season are either no good or risky and he still thinks every Saints player is better than their Wigan counterpart (and the odd ones that aren't are actually better players who are just in bad form).

Given that Saints have just been crowned champions, I suppose it's hard to argue really

Just been pointed out Faz prob make their subs bench.
Such a great team that Saints are we are very very lucky they didnt get to the final as we all know what would have- Same winners !.

My favourite was old Saddo saying it’s depressing we won because we did it with a powderpuff pack and even that will be sorted next year. Watching Smithies, O’Neill, Ellis, Byrne, KPP and co flying In to people this past few months certainly hasn’t looked powderpuff and if it is, so be it, we’ll console ourselves with that big shiny thing sat in the trophy cabinet.

We just have to accept that, as a club, Wigan are inferior to St Helens in every way imaginable

Once we get to that point, we will all be much happier

And that little shiny thing at its side.

I saw that. Completely missing the point that we had Cooper, Byrne and effectively Havard missing or that our "powderpuff pack" has been destroying teams for the last 2 months or so, including the Catalans pack on their own pitch! Also completely ignored the fact that we played an interchange down so the props had to play long minutes.

To be fair, Saints without Walmsley, Paasi and Lees would be stronger though, what with LMS taking up the slack and having back rowers Knowles and Mata'utia as ready made super props! Now that's a powderpuff pack!
