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 ).

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.
