We've won 4 out of 5 this season but at least three of those games (Hudds, Hull KR & Cas) we've been helped massively by either a depleted squad or an in-game injury. I honestly think we'd of lost to that shambles of a Hull KR side had Kelly stayed on. With injuries to Swift and Percival our backs look really ordinary and i think it will be a case of you dont know what you have till it's gone with Swift who still seems to split opinion. Add in the insistence by KC of this Turner at 6 project of his and we have the prospect of a horrific backline in the next few weeks.

First half against an admittedly atrocious Wakefield there seemed to be a conscious effort to throw the ball about and it was entertaining. The second wasn't so great. The atmosphere was one of the worst i can remember, i think it was on the 60 minute mark a song was first sung. Largely you can just hear people talking about their tea, twitter or the other games. People i speak to seem to feel an obligation to go rather than a want to.

We seem to just be plodding along at the moment playing an effective way that will see us in and around the top 4 but at what cost? I think if we can win 3 or 4 of the next 5 playing a decent brand of rugby the atmosphere will pick up and fans will give him more time. I'm not so sure it will happen but i'll be there at every one hoping for a change. Although i don't begrudge anyone for not going.

My intention starting this thread that we could look forward to those next 5 games....

Not just you mate, the amount of people on their phone or with their backs to the pitch just talking to mates gets more as the weeks roll by.

Unfortunately my shift pattern prevents me from attending a lot of home games and any away. I would take a winning team over an entertaining team always. I have been watching them for 35 years and have many memories of entertaining rugby but ultimately winning nothing. I want us to win first and entertain second. If you are winning players want to come and you can change to an entertaining style. If you're not winning , players wont come no matter what style of rugby you play.

Similar thoughts as well, I'm going to use these next 5 games to decide whether to carry on supporting the club =#FF0040for the remaining season.. The game is littered with time wasting by players, referees, sky video replays. KC and his blinkered coaching approach is just accelerating my decision to stop watching Superleague altogether, the quality player, game intensity and game attitude isn't there anymore.

I would go as far as to say the current crop of super league players is the worst since it's conception. Also the poorest Saints team I can remember.

It hasn't taken long for the new league format to go dull has it. Every minute matters?

I think if we come out of the next 5 games with 8 points or more, then the moaning (including mine) will subside.

But KC needs to be careful. At the moment he has the smouldering embers of discontented fan base. Going public criticising fans is the equivalent of throwing petrol on that. He should choose his words carefully. He must also be aware that soundly beating Wakefield is not going to win many hearts and minds from a fanbase that considers anything else to be a dismal failure.

He should have saved those comments for after the Leeds game tomorrow. If we beat them convincingly, then he'd be on much steadier ground. As it is, he's missing the point a bit about what Saints fans want.

It's about a style of rugby. Even against a defence as terrible as Wakefield, nearly all our tries started with a PTB within 15 metres of their line. His tactics are the classic mid-noughties Bradfordian territorial grind, followed by a defence cracking in their own ten metres. It can be effective, but it's incredibly dull. Saints fans are conditioned from an early age to want much more adventure than that. We want fast wingers who can go the length, we want deep backs moves from within our own half, and we want that sense of butterflies and anticipation when those special players get the ball, because you just know that something extraordinary could happen.

What we have is the near-sure knowledge that nothing is going to happen at all, unless we manage to force them into a mistake within their own 10 metre line, so 90% of the game is essentially waiting to get there with 1 man-drives and kicks.

It might be effective, but God it's dull.

KC is correct we are winning and that's his job to get results but he can't hide the fact the fans are bored. You can see it in the crowd and the atmosphere is dead.

Would I rather you play this boring rubbish rugby and go on to win the grand final? Yes 100%.

Will I keep paying to watch every game like I do now? No I won't, if the brand of rugby doesn't Improve then I'll pick my games and I'll watch the sky games at home.

I've never been so bored in my life as I am sat at Langtree park this year.

Why is the format dull? If we beat Leeds today, do you think Leeds fans will th ink a top 4 play-off format is dull?

Under the old top 8 their start to the season would be irrelevant.
