Wigan Warriors • Potential trouble for Saints and Walmsley

I'm not sure why Stu is so keen for accreditation of the current team from elsewhere, he should just enjoy the moment

The game is very different and I can see from the evidence of my own eyes that previous Saints teams would struggle to break this one down. It certainly wouldn't be the cakewalk some are suggesting - I've seen enough superstar Saints teams destroyed by NRL teams to know that they weren't up against that much in terms of week to week intensity at the time.

For sure we have had better individuals since 1996 but that isn't everything. And in any event, winning 4 will be a tremendous achievement - whether or not this is the best team SL has seen (I'd say not), winning 4 is something nobody has ever managed and would be, as a matter of fact, the longest winning run in fully professional RL history.
