Allez clearly wasn't saying they expected us to win every game. The point made was about performance. We have expectations at Saints; expectations born of watching either quality sides or sides with heart (or both!) over the years. This side, at present, has neither quality nor heart, bar a few individuals who appear to give 100% every week. The point is EVERYONE should be giving 100% every week. To compromise that standard at any time is to begin the slow slide into mediocrity. While other clubs may be happy with that, traditionally speaking Saints' club is not. The fans certainly aren't. Fans keep the club, coach and players honest. It is right that we do. Some West Standers booed tonight after Jones made a total cock up of a great Percy break. Whatever anyone's thoughts of booing are is irrelevant: the fans were showing in one of only two ways what they thought of that inept play. Why we are playing so ineptly is anyone's guess but like it or not it is Cunningham's job to address it. He isn't doing, and that is clear.

Wigan fan in peace.
I think you guys have missed Wilkins over the last few weeks.
I must admit that until last season I never really rated him but he is a very important part of your team and is a bit like us playing without SOL albeit that this season looks like his better days are behind him. Get Wilkin back and I'm sure things will get back on track.
Still think you will get to the GF.

Don't say that. You'll end up in someone's sig.

Does the "Cunningham [sic] Apologists' Society" exist? Does it have an index of card-carrying members? If not I'm calling a straw man argument.

I don't know anyone, ANY-ONE who believes Cunningham is anything greater than a coaching debutant. There may exist a few fans who prefer home-grown to the best Australian or Kiwi coach available - but you won't find much evidence to support this argument in this forum. But by all means - feel free to search whatever archival material you like. I await you skulking back to this forum - tail between your legs.

We are ALL completely in the dark as to Cunningham's bona fides. Don't try to fool anyone by suggesting our recent dip in form is proof positive because you know it's possible to dig up a bad run of form on ANY coach - no matter how successful.

So why don't you quit trying to suggest there is some kind of militant pro-Cunningham faction that you've been fearlessly fighting a lone battle against since his arrival because it's a BARE FACED LIE. Whether Cunningham is any good or not - there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with suggesting that young coaches need TIME. Otherwise there wouldn't be any new coaches.

I'd say you are acting like a spoiled little child - but a child doesn't know any better. You do. Or at least - you SHOULD DO.

A bit pot calling the kettle black. The unfortunate thing about this forum is that ADULT debate seems to be the exception rather than the rule, and you are as guilty as anyone!!!!!

If there's a poster on this forum who is prepared to go into greater detail supporting his or her arguments I'd like to meet him/her.

So don't expect me to break out the rosary beads over my occasional teases.
