Quote: bewareshadows "I know it's not been up to standard, but we are 3 games into the season and we have won more than we have lost.
Lets not go OTT.
LMS was getting praise off fans last year for his efforts, the possibility of Savelio going to Warrington had saddened and other fans beside themselves in indignation, swift was a possible for being shown the door, Burns was great in his first 7 games and was going to be even better when Walsh came back. Wilkin was a saviour carrying the club when we had no halves etc etc.
You can't buy and sell players week to week like some fans would want (ps fans also at the same time want commitment and loyalty from these very same players)
Now LMS is a waste of contract, Savelio was over hyped (by whom??), Swift is the new Tommy Makinson and can do no wrong where as Tommy is maybe not what we need.
I'm all for wanting better quality and better results, if someone has had a dire game (ie Walsh v Salford) then yes we want to give them grief, but the way we react you would think we are playing this as a computer game where if it's not going well you can simply restart all over again.
Players have bad games and some times a run of bad games and deserve to be dropped, but the league is not won or lost in the opening 3 games.
As fans we seem to be very negative about the team, plenty of posts pre-match and post match if there is criticism to be given. But if there has been a win, like against Huddersfield the boards and threads go very quiet, both here and on Redvee.
Are Saints fans on these boards the new prawn sandwich brigade? I think it was mentioned elsewhere that we are living in the past, constantly harping back to some glory years. But even in those years we got turned over by the likes of Hull and Salford. People just forget the bad losses.'"
One of the criticisms of our performance v KR was that some of our tries came from kicks. Why is that? Do we now revise our opinion of our win against Bradford in the cup final in 1996? That win, I seem to recall, was based on Goulding's kicking.
KC might or might not make it as a coach who delivers trophies, and he might, or might not, deliver 'entertaining' rugby (whatever that means), but some of the accusations against him are baffling.
