Who is this Mick Potter we speak of? Last time I checked we didn't have a coach although there is a awesome statue of a Aussie fellow they wheel up to the stands on game day... sturn face and not an ounce of movement icon_lol.gif

I think I miss a bit of charisma too... I'd love to see Harry Potter run onto the HJ turf and jump on Cunninghams back infront of the Saints speccies!

Quote: D.D. "Sorry, I have to disagree. I started watching Saints in 1987 and we were always the entertainers. A lot of the time it went wrong but from 1987 to 2005 it was an accepted fact that, on our day, nobody could throw the ball about and play such entertaining Rugby League as Saints, even if we weren't so great in the results business.

The entertainers tag ceased when Millward left, I'll give you that.'"


Have to agree with that.

Was a boy watching in 84 when we had the likes of Harry Pinner, Chris Arkwright, Neil Holding, Roy Haggerty and of course big Mal. We liked ot cuck the ball around then, and although we really were 'and rags at times, we were fun to watch.

Saddened is right that the current rugby is dull. We have the style and speed of a darts player.

People on here are saying defence this,d efence that. true. But Wigan's defence looks very good, so we will need something creative to win the match.

I'd agree with that tbh - we just seem to be getting more and more dull to watch

AT THE END OF EVERY HARD EARNED DAY, PEOPLE FIND SOME REASON TO BELIEVE..... FIRE UP THE QUATTRO!!:21316.jpg



Quote: No1 Saint "I'd have to kinda disagree a bit - I'm not that young and I remember the mid - late 80's and beyond and although we tried to serve up good Rugby we normally just managed crap. We played with some flair some times BUT nothing like with Millward. With Millward we had players moving all over the park expressing themselves and making things happen - sometimes this went right and sometimes it didnt but the quality of players we had meant we could pull it off.'"
Sorry pal, you ain't got a clue. Always good on attack - Harry Pinner, Shane Cooper etc - all great attacking players with great hands.......

We were nosediving under Millward, some of the rose tinted specs about the latter part of his tenure never cease to amaze me.

We finished top of the table in 2002, 4th on the ladder in 2003, 5th in 2004 - he was doing a far worse job than Potter when he was rightly dumped (after which we finished top for 4 years straight)
