| Quote St pete="St pete"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.'"
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.

| Quote SaintsFan="SaintsFan"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.'"
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

| Quote SaintsFan="SaintsFan"Likewise against Bradford, for instance, when we were down to 12 men. We didn't concede. Our defence has been improving for a few weeks. We did, however, let in a try on the death (again) and Warrington did rather like messing up their attacking plays near our line, which helped us it has to be said. We were let off quite a few times by their unforced errors.
I made all manner of excuses for us last season because we were a team under pressure of injures with a lot of young players coping under adversity. Now that we have what the Sky guys labelled 'the old guard' back again, there are no excuses.'"
You say they were unforced errors, how do you know they weren't from our sustained defensive pressure which caused them to panic.

You could say that about our errors in the games we lost too.
However, many of Warrington's errors tonight were definitely unforced. Some of them were just down to offloads at dumb times. Leeds were doing the same kind of thing this time last year.

I remember them all yes. Your point? Potter and Simmons have been poor appointments.

How is not catching a ball with no one around you a forced error?
Wellens whining face put us off?
Gardners facial hair?
Sia's normal face?

Yep, we had the odd blip under Anderson , sadly they were in GF's. At least they were against quality opposition, nothing like that shambles in Bradford
