Somebody said Saints have never finished lower than 5th in SL, the other day. I didn’t check but it seemed plausible. That’d mean we’d have to consider ‘pretty grim’ as a relative term.

Think Saints finished 6th when it was a top 8 play off in 2017 and Cunningham got sacked after that. Saints have been in the top 4 for 24 seasons out of 27 seasons so far, there average league position is 2.4. They have finished top on 9 occasions.

Will they still be full time pros?

2017 was the super 8s. You played Cas in the play offs which meant you had to finish top 4. I think....

Was it the Ryan Morgan brain fart, when he took a cas player out and gave away a penalty

I don't know about having to finish in the top 4, the fact that we was in the semi final means we were in the play offs. Yes it was a Ryan Morgan brain fart, thats how it goes sometimes.

Cunningham was unlucky in the playoffs. One year (2015 I think) Saints were robbed at Leeds. Pretty sure 2016 against Wire was controversial as well.
