Quote: fartownfan "I accept what you're saying & agree to some extent. There is a portion of the Hudds support that have gone way overboard with the NB departure & all the ramifications thereof. You'll get no argument from me there.
However, this type of blinkered attitude isn't just the province of Hudds fans. Royce Simmons was savaged on here in a disgraceful manner & made the scapegoat by a certain section of Saints fans & this was a coach who had got you to a Grand Final only, what was it, 6 matches previously? And a GF that you were actually looking like winning until Shenton got busted & couple of quick dodgy decisions went against you.
Yeah, a fickle lot RL fans.'"
I would accept being called fickle if I'd have bigged royce up in his first year but that fact I didn't want him from day one until the day he was sacked isn't fickle.
Royce is a top guy who always put in 100% but he's not a first team coach and never will be.
Brown has done a terrific job for a number of years at hudds and turned them into a good team and also good to watch, he turned some very average players into good super league players.
I honestly can't wait to see saints play under a top coach like brown.
