    I'd rather us not take the •••• to be honest. Hub cap is nice but means nothing if we get beat a few weeks later. Just be good winners, celebrate if we win the real pots. Not saying don't applaud it just don't get ahead of ourselves. The game has a funny way of twisting and turning. I wouldn't be worried if I was a wire fan just yet, after this weekend things don't look great with them on an injury/form front but things can change quickly in sport.

    Think we'll be proud and celebrating anyway given our efforts over the season so far - but will also be more focussed than ever about what's ahead given last season. Not sure what kind of team we'll put out either given the LLS is now wrapped up and will have one eye on protecting players for the repeat match against wire at wembley.

    Best place to do it I would say... hopefully with two trophies on show!

    Can we not call it a hubcap.

    The league generates more cash for the club than any one off final.

    Long term being a table topping team is hugely beneficial.

    Its a trophy and we should be glad we are winning more than others.

    With you on this... there has to be a way of generating more status for this achievement. Maybe a higher split of the money on offer across competitions - though tbh i'm not sure what the current prizemoney is for the 3 cups?

    If you ever needed an indication of the esteem this trophy is held in, the Sky coverage of today's game should do the trick. Not a single mention of the fact that one of the season's three trophies was at stake.

    Don’t really give a damn what about Sky’s indoctrination, back to back League winners it is, fantastic achievement, now onto the other two

    I thought that...……………..then I thought we might have a full scale riot on our hands after today, so maybe not!

    100% spot on. It takes a hell of a lot to win it, why not cherish it! No one else managed it, so let's not denigrate a wonderful achievement. Well done lads!

    Don't get me wrong - I don't crave Sky's approval, but it was just another indication of how slipshod their coverage has become. I strongly suspect that neither Clarke nor Proe were actually aware of the fact that the shield was on the line.

    I was waiting for Sky to announce that Saints were league leaders shield winners but nothing.

    This means that we get a rest week. How the club manages these end of season games will be intriguing.

    The LLS needs changing to a proper trophy, and renaming to the “League Winners Cup” because we have won the league, not League LEADERS shield....
    Can't stop the spirits when they need you.

    This life is more than just a read through.

    Spot on mate. Should also get you directly to the GF, you've earned it. Why should you have to play teams who've only managed half the points you have during the season? Time to take finishing top of the pile seriously.

    Great choice. Not really bothered if it doesn't get a mention till then either. Focus on the next target

    This. Gimmicky Australian shite that has nothing to do with our game. 14 team SL playing each other once home and away. No stupid magic weekend. All teams start the cup from the first round proper. If they want to keep the charity shirts for 1 weeks then fair enough.

    And put the CC final back to the last game of the season.

    In reality it isn't going to happen but its the only way you will get the credibility back for both.

    Yes, I meant to add that. It won't happen while Sky are involved that's for certain and we're a long way off that.
