Always thought Oldham (Bears) had the best nickname when it came to picking them. It sounded right, was easy to market due to a recognisable bear mascot, bear toys etc. and it seems right that a rl team were named after this type of animal.( I mean who could ever imagine a shark or eel etc. catching a rugby ball on the burst :wink: ).

They also had the best mascot in the League with that bear... Buster I think he was called.

I believe handrags was a name given to Saints by Pilks Recs. who were then the dominant team in St. Helens






SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

St. Helens Silverware :D

I think "The Saints" is fine. We are introduced as the St. Helens Saints at a lot of away grounds.

I think we need a better catch line rather than "It's your team". I think we should be called "Britains Team" or "THE Superleague Club" or even "The Entertainers".

Like how the Dallas cowboys were called "Americas Team" it was a great marketing tool and miffed every other team in the NFL off.

Surely that is what we really need.






The Aussie Legend!!!
