I think Leeds 04 set the benchmark in attacking play as Saints 06 did defensively. The only reason i could downplay the 06 saints is their competition in 06 was as poor as it has been in a long time. Bradford had fallen to pieces. Controversy at the start of the season meant Leeds imploded, christ we were that bad Wire won a play off game. A fairly workmanlike Hull side got to a GF and were in my opinion the worst side to get to a GF.

Who would win between Leeds 04 and Saints 06? i have no idea. It would be a game i would love to see but i have no idea who would have won.

Honestly Smokey, I can't be bothered anymore. I still can't believe you're sticking with your fact as opinion, and still have misrepresented what I have said. But no matter how much I continue, this won't change so I'll leave it there on that.



One thing I can 100% tell you that you are wrong about is that Leeds haven't won 5 championships out of 7.

No, it was 5 of 8, appearing in 6 of 8. My sincere apologies.



And i havent misrepresented what you said and you know it.

I disagree. I think it's a fact that Saints would have made the Grand Final had it not been for the injuries at such a crucial time. Im not one for if's and buts but they were dead certs imho, they nearly did it with half a team

Bulls '97 IMO was one of the worst SL winning teams. Brute strength plus Robbie Paul, and didn't win a single game in the expanded WCC competition. They didn't even have to win a grand final, and completely fell apart in 1998.

You can't say it was a fact for sure, let's be fair. For all we know, they could have had two complete off games. I don't think they would have, but it's not a fact.

Smokey thinks they'd have lost either way though, so that must be a fact.

I'll tell you what is FACT. These greatest teams will never play each other, so we will never know.



Fact number 2.... this decent thread has been ruined by you muppets having a willy measuring contest over nothing.

Fact number 2 isn't a fact, it's an opinion



But it's good to know that you've decided to whack a ruler next to yours just then to show you're the bigger man. Well done.



If someone says something I disagree with, I'm entitled to disagree with it. It was on topic. It was discussing the best English club team of all time. If you don't like it, scroll past it. Don't go throwing petty insults our way as that is what ruins a thread.

You're missing my point. It was a Smokey fact.

Indeed. Which is massively different to an [iactual[/i fact.

Fair comment that but the '06 Saints never lost a knockout game that year whereas Leeds '04 lost in the cup and in the playoffs too. They were pretty red hot though that year despite those losses.

Reading through his points, they're all myths
