On this subject of the statue, Stevo always gets it wrong and I think a few on here do as well, the statue is not to honour KC personally it is to honour the club, if you have a look closely Keiron's name does not apear on the statue just the words THE SAINTS

I may be alone here, but I'm not entirely convinced about Meninga. He'd clearly be a good motivator, and as an icon of the game would certainly command the respect of the players, initially, at least. This makes him ideal material for coaching Queensland, for whom his job is to get 17 of the best players in rugby league history up for the contest and working together over three games.

His club coaching record, where more sustained planning and tactical management is required, is poor, however. The obvious comparison is Ellery Hanley. At Saints Hanley gave a talented but ill-disciplined squad the shake up they needed, allowing them to just scrape through in the GF, but his tactical naivety was becoming apparent by the time he was sacked.

Another consideration - we'd be paying him a fortune, not for his coaching record, but because he's Mal Meninga.

But he'd be Mal Meninga so what would it matter? We'd be able to chant his name, he'd fist pump the crowd after we stuff the Pies and he'd cut such a cool figure stood on the side of the pitch at Old Trafford, suit and shades, jumping up onto Scully (Our Beckham-esque figurehead) Maradona stylee.

Well if he grows a white beard and a wispy tache then I'm all for it.

Royce Simmons has the edge on name coolness though. He sounds like a wrestler from the 80s.

Your not alone in thinking this dux, i think the same thing. mal has a poor record at club level. I thinl we should go for jason talyor.
