The sweetest one : Sun Oct 12, 2014 12:45 am  

Posted on the VT by mistake....

As Saints fans, we have blessed over the last 20 years with success - but tonight's win, for me, was the sweetest of them all. Written off by all pundits, by the majority of fans (including some of our own), and by the media. No representatives in the England squad, and only one in the dream team. Roby overlooked for MoS. "The worst team to make a Grand Final." It's going to be the most one sided final of all time." The adversity with the loss of key players for a large part of the year, and then our only halfback being taken out of the game.

I can't tell you how proud I am of that team tonight. Not the prettiest of wins, but it didn't need to be. We found a way to win. That is the sign of a Champion team.

Hope the lads have a great off season. Can't wait for 2015. Come on you Saints!!!!

Congrats on the win. I am chuffed to say we spanked the champions and scored 40 points as well.

No players in the dream team, no players in the England squad. Being proclaimed as the worst ever champions by, strangely enough, Wigan posters.

I love it.

I hope we get it right with our choice of coach because, with the players coming in and through, we're on the verge of a very good spell.

I thought T-Mak was in the dream team?

Yeah T-Mak was in. I had to edit my original post. Still feels good this morning!

Without doubt the Saints class of 2014 as Super League champions will linger long in the memory, and for me too goes down as our best title triumph in many a long year.
