Quote ="Saddened!"I think the fans are complacent too, they are expecting another season at the top. With a new coach and yet again no new players it's hard to see where the optimism comes from. It's only the lack of improvement from the teams around us that has kept us at the top in recent years. The likes of Bradford, Hull, Wigan and Warrington are all still well below par and we're lucky thats the case. '"
Quote ="Dux"Yep. The element of the unknown is making me look forward to this season more than any for a while. It's been a couple of seasons since we've made an exciting signing, and in Tony P we've got one this time round. The thinness of the squad means we are guaranteed to see what some of these vaunted youngsters are really made of.
I just hope the fans are willing to enjoy the drama of it instead of spitting the dummy out if things don't go swimmingly. I'm not holding my breath though.'"
Quote ="Rogues Gallery"Wigan - IMO still short of another prop forward. Could Karl Pryce be a match winner. Will Sam Tomkins emerge. Can Tommy and Tim Smith be catalysts. Will Piggy guide us around the park. Will Ian Thornley be "a bolter"
So many questions and if it all comes right we will be a team to challenge.'"
Quote ="Don Brennan"Why do they have anything to prove to us,weve had around ten trophy laden seasons. Its been fantastic.
In fact if any group has something to prove its the fans. The vocal backing at games has been pretty embarassing at times.
I hope next season Saints fans prove they still have the same passion for the club that the players do.'"
Quote ="Eurob0y"I have a feeling that next season will be a trophyless one. Leeds are still the team to beat and barring an awful injury list, I can see them doing the double.'"
Quote ="OoOGazOoO"Do we have something to prove? ? ? Too right we do. I feel it is going to be a much more difficult task too. We still have a good squad, but we lack depth in the squad, with Puletua the only signing to be made pre-season.'"
Some reminders of early season doubt.
