Another top game. We look good in attack and solid in defence [uagainst a very good Dire side[/u'"
You haven't been watching the same Wire side we have for a month then, only performance we have put in this year is v Hudds, don't confuse us with last years team, we've been average at best of late.

| Quote SaintsFan="SaintsFan"But I don't think a 'senior players must enjoy their rugby' is a very reliable long term approach. Hard work, maintaining concentration, not making daft offloads ... all the boring things in life are what get you the wins. And appeasing one bloke who has leaked tries in every GF so far and who regularly switches off near the goal line throughout the season is not a tactic I agree with or think will be productive in the long term. If I'm proven wrong and Meli has had some kind of revelation then so be it but just now I think the keep the senior players happy regardless philosophy will bite us in the backside.'"
Put this way, the lads are buzzing and look happy. When everyone including you was predicting a defeat to Leeds, I was saying just how upbeat the lads are and tipped saints to win.
You can actully see the difference in them.

You have quality players and have the ability to win games when playing poorly .... did you see us under Simmons this year? We'd have lost against Warrington Wizards never mind the wolves a couple of weeks ago.

| Every team we have got points out of this season bar London and KR have come away from the game saying "How did we not beat them today?"
Even Hudds, who i thought we put our best performance of the season in.
I'm not being derogatory towards Saints, we were well beaten tonight but honestly the only difference we have had over Saints so far this season is luck when we didn't deserve it.

Don't be stupid. We lost by a maximum four points and had Puletua been more attentive we would have beaten Bradford. And that was without James Roby, who has made a massive impact on his return, and LMS and Gardner.

I've been to a few of Ade's testimonials this year and in them all the lads asked have said the spirit in the camp has still been good despite the losses, as did Louie when interviewed on Sky post-match.
As I said earlier, winning, and playing well doing so, will always make things better mentally and physically in terms of how the lads play and hold themselves. It's easy to suggest that the change in fortune and performance is down to Royce leaving and Rush & KC taking over but I can guarantee you it is down to more than the change in management.

Honestly you need to get a grip , did you even watch us against Bradford? It was one of the worst performances Ive seen a Saints team put out in a long long time. The performance against Hull was abysmal too. We look like a new team and it's not all down to Roby (despite you and and Sky morons thinking so)

A change in tactics has no doubt helped too, playing with more freedom for starters. Winning is good, winning well is brilliant

Fans have such short memories.
Remember against Hull in the fog during Potter's time here?
Remember the Grand Final 2007 under Anderson when we were worse than crap?
Teams sometimes play badly. It's not always the coach you know. Sometimes it can - dare I suggest it - actually be the players!

| I mentioned to a saints fan who posted on the bulls forum that saints would win at least 2 of their next 3 games and i was proved right lucky i put an accumulator on it haha.
Think the players didnt want to play for simmons anymore and put in poor performances so he was sacked and now they are playing brilliantly, similar to chelsea did with AVB
