Even when Leeds have won the GF, Saints are still the side most spoken about, even during a lean period for Saints in which we haven't won the championship we have still won more silverware than Leeds. We have apparently been in decline for the past 10 years yet continually represent the pinnacle of the SL. We're at this level despite having one of the worst grounds in the game. You just know as a Saints fan that teams dislike you, envy you and have a huge inferiority complex, even after beating us. Its just a case of waiting til we regain the GF again (and again as a Saints fan, you know that it wont be too long).
I like the way Leeds play rugby and I like their confidence. You always know that Leeds will give us a game and won't shirk the battle like the Bulls used to do and like Wigan do with us now. I suppose Leeds are like a mini Saints without the same flagship status.
Looking forward to tonight, should be a cracker and its tough to pick a winner but the Rhinos must be favourites.
Here's my reason.

This is why the Leeds fans hate us. No one wants to talk about Leeds winning the GF, the talk is all about St Helens losing. They have such an inferiorty complex that when you talk about anything rugby related, wether it be attendences, history, players wives, anything, they always mention how they are back to back champions. I remember all those years ago, when we did it, you know, when Leeds were messing around in mid table, our fans didnt keep on mentioning it.
I used to think WIgans fans had the biggest inferiority complex. They dont, Leeds fans do by a hell of a long way.

If you mean the last 20 years, then join the queue behind Wigan - a long way behind.
You could use since the inception of SL.
You could use the past 5 years.
You could use the past 4 years.
You could use the past 2 years.
Success is defined by silverware, in all these periods Saints have more than any other side, including nationwide recognition by the BBC for our achievements.
Wigan and their trophy record is the benchmark in the game. One day Saints should reach it, unless a miracle happens and Wigan get competitive.

The Mighty "S", when it reallt matters.
Its' bad sport for the winners to hate the losers, so I don't hate Saints.
Whoop woop.
