| Quote: Magic Superbeetle "Things like Amors injury is just unavoidable, but i am starting to raise more and more questions about our conditioning and physio team (and more generally the backroom staff) - brown has come under fire recently, but he does seem to be let down by his backroom staff. When you look at the condition of our players, we seem to be constantly facing an uphill battle against the likes of Wigan and Leeds. Whether it's more backroom staff needed, linking up with a sports science university like Leeds, or an entire rethink of how we condition our players, I feel like something needs to change.
We haven't seemed to be capable of competing physically since Apollo left, and are getting more and more injuries. Not just niggles, but that's now 4 senior players out long term from the last few weeks.'"
I questioned this last year when we had an horrendous injury crisis just after a couple of games which we never really recovered going into the play offs.
Look at Mose who doesn,t look as though he is being conditioned to be that tough impact player that played in the NRL and world cup, worse than that was Josh Perry the backroom staff never got him fit for more than 2 games,walmsley and Percival are getting injury prone.
Is it possible that our lack of intensity means we are receiving more impact on our player in both attack and defence, our line speed is very poor meaning they are getting hit with momentum is it this that is causing injury.

| Quote: Offside Monkey "I kinda see his as a back row, as that what he's been for the kids.
He may look a little static to defend out wide. He may also lack the ability to do long minutes.
A "heavy 13" for me, perhaps interchnangeing him with Many for maximum effect.
I worry that if you want him to be a prop, you're still short of a solid minutes man. Perhapssomeoneli,e Weyman instead of Masoe would havebeen The better choice.'"
Please excuse my English. Ivebeendrinking.

Well it's just got a lot bigger ...

SAINTS Chairman, Eamonn McManus, wrote in the Manchester Evening News today:
I must admit that the recent defeats by Wigan and Leeds were as upsetting to me personally as anything I've experienced in the fourteen years of my very proud chairmanship of the Saints.
It was the manner and timing of our defeats that hurt so much. We just seemed to be out-enthused as much as outplayed. Prior to that we had played so well and fought hard in nine consecutive victories since the season started. But the Wigan and Leeds games were of much greater importance being against our bitter rivals and required our game to be raised further. We didn't do that which is why it is so difficult to deal with - but deal with it we absolutely must!
Although I am a lifelong Saints fan and rugby league nut, which is the only reason I'm involved in the sport, it is always essential that I carry out my role as Chairman in a dignified and professional manner. I am always conscious that I am a senior standard bearer of my club, my sport and my town. After very game I visit the dressing room briefly to shake the hand of every player in congratulation or in commiseration and likewise with the coaching staff. I never offer a view or opinion at that time as emotions are often running too high, or too low. And more importantly, I totally believe that THAT must be the job and the domain of the coach whose authority must be absolute at all times over players.
So, what I do is wait for a couple of days and then meet up over a coffee with our coach Nathan Brown and our CEO Mike Rush to have a clear- headed debrief in the cold light of day and to plan ahead. Although I must admit that this time my head is still not quite clear!
We now have a fabulous and plush new stadium at St. Helens as well as world class training facilities - a far cry from the very basic environment of Knowsley Road which produced generations of warrior athletes who have gone down in rugby league history. It was said of the British navy at the end of the Nineteenth century that iron men in wooden boats were replaced by wooden men in iron boats. It's my job to ensure that this doesn't now happen to us after the move from Knowsley Road to Langtree Park.
As disappointing as this very short period has been, I firmly believe we have the talent and the will to win the main prize of Super League - the Grand Final. We have to grind our way through the next five months and then raise our game to the required heights in the play offs. It is all about mindset and timing. The key to success now is that we learn all we can from these recent defeats and ensure that, when it really counts, we perform better and at a higher level.
A win against London Broncos tonight would be the first small step in that process and I'm sure that our fans will continue to get behind us in the brilliant way that they have all this season.

You'd expect some sort of reaction to this from the players.

You would, some very strong words in there. Also hints at a few of the rumours flying around - and really opens more questions then it answers ...

I'm not sure it does really. There is a hint of a threat to the players and possibly the coach too, depending on who he considers 'the men' to be - but other than that the article just looks like this year's version of what he did last year: namely, make an attempt to keep fans onside when things have gone west. McManus is very eloquent in print but he rarely says anything substantive. To do so would be to contradict his own statement that he is professional, etc.
