Quote: Saddened! "Defensively? Big tick. Leeds caused us no problems at all during the game and every single point they scored came from stupid errors on our wingers' part.

Attack? That team is the most limited attacking team I've ever seen. We have almost the same players as last season yet it's been 3 months since we scored 18 points. A lot of people will blame Leon and Sean but there are no moves being put on, no one is running and there is no organisation. Our pack was absolutely magnificent tonight, Jammer and Tony P in particular were great. The yards were easy. How much did we spend camped in Leeds' 20 only to offer absolutely no threat. Was Mick Potter's masterplan really to mess about for 3 tackles, then throw the ball to Kyle Eastmond before putting in a pathetic kick on the last? (Our only threat)

The squad is no worse next season, perhaps slightly better. The talk of our 'rapid decline' is stupid. But is Mick Potter good enough to help us win a trophy? IMO with Millward coaching that side tonight we'd have won, same with the Cup semi final. We seem cluesless, despite having the same players as in previous seasons.

Ridiculously if we had two amateur wingers we'd have won 10-3 tonight. Those two HAVE to be replaced. It's happened too many times for it to be excusable.'"


You have done the easy bit in identfiying the problems, now name names. Which coaches/players should be replaced, and by whom ?

Bear in mind contractual obligations, salary cap restrictions and the financial position of the club.

anderson gave a world class team to potter, started off hot, potter has tightened the already tight defance but in attack oh dear whats the point in having all these skillfull players if you wont let them play.

i have noticed some teams hireing defance coachs we need one for the attack

well done Potter.A trophy less season and has turned us into a totally one dimensional team with no attacking ideas.We play in an image of his personality-dour and uninspiring.The guy is a loser and needs to be given the boot.

Ive said from the outset that I never rated potter nor wanted him at saints, and I think his ability is reflected in the teams performances this his first season, he must learn the way we have played in the past or ship out in my opinion.
Millward was upbeat chirpy, cocky confident, and this did eventually reflect in the players, then came DA he personally was more subdued than IM, and almost dour, and this came through in the team we were rock solid, in defence but with both of these coaches we ATTACKED AND SCORED, now to me potter is like a cardboard cut, deadpan expressionless and for me totaly non descript and bland, this is now showing in the team totally devoid of attacking ideas and scoring ability, this has been reflected in the points that we have scored. I know a lot will dissagree but thats my opinion and for me personally unless he changes things a bit or hopefully gets the gooner im not going to travel 600 miles round trip plus hotel next season.
So yes for me I would like him out who do you bring in to be perfectly honest I HAVE NOT GOT A CLUE.

Quote: El Chupacabra "Maybe he borrowed Richard Agars coaching manual, but then again Agar admitted he doesn't have one.'"
either that or he is not admitting the libary fine is massive since he hasn't finished reading it yet.
