| Quote: bewareshadows "I had not seen the game on TV, so did not want to comment.
I thought KC spoke well, he is not there to give impartial commentary on the game.
He is there as the Saints coach and he is there to manage the team.
Last year he made a huge mistake in mine and most peoples opinion by speaking honestly about the team and individuals and picking them out on air rather than keeping it in the dressing room.
It's 2 games into the season and his job is to motivate the team for SL.
Also comparing a 60 second talk on the field to in depth analysis of 3 set plays by the opposing coach is ridiculous.
Of course trent robinson spoke more eloquently, he was treated in a completely different fashion. The only way to compare them is to give them equal treatment.
Personally I'd rather Cunningham come out with positives on TV and keep professional, rather than just shooting his mouth off about player who under-performed and maybe low on confidence after a second bruising defeat.
To me it was a lesson learned and showed he is developing more as a coach, of course if he had come out and lambasted certain players of course the internet crowd would be equally critical of him for not protecting his players and acting as fan rather than a coach.
In the actual 10 seconds of his analysis he concentrated on the middles who did their job, which I thought they did and others on here have stated the same. As opposed to saying the backs lacked attacking threat he credited the Roosters for having excellent backs.
You can go one of two ways be positive of be negative, I would rather he took the positive approach than just put down players who will already be feeling down after a heavy defeat and will be getting it in the neck from 'fans' on the internet.'"
WHOA there boy. You,ve contradicted the sad one and st. pete. Thats a hanging offence you know.

Quote: IANmarra "What did he say?
The school systems, youth systems, through to the academy, reserves....It stems from the start, that's why they are better at Rugby than us. It's drilled into them from an early age, when it comes to professional level, they're like well oiled machines. We will never compete with them until we grow the sport in this country - it's impossible. Ok, we can compete every now and again in a one-off WCC or an international game, but on a whole - we are nowhere near them! I hate to say it but it's true! I went to a school in St Helens, a RL town, and there was no rugby at all....you think that would happen in NSW or Queensland - not a chance.'"

Look at this article and tell me whether he has a grip on reality: m.sthelensstar.co.uk/sport/14301 ... onsistent/
He seriously says, and I quote, "You take away the three breakaway tries from the offload, the little kick and the bomb that Jack Owens lost that gives you a different scoreline..." Well obviously!!!!

| Plus if you completely reverse the score, saints would have won so we weren't far off.

That's the sort of nonsense I used to say when I was 10 watching us get mullered by Wigan. Embarrassing stuff really.
