Quote: The Chair Maker "I have said before this season wasnt about winning things its about the coach seeing what works and what doesnt so can plan for the future and recruit in the weak areas.
I also want to see how Saints go with a full off season for Holbrook to work on the players skillset. They have improved tremendously from a very low level.
I am very confident about next season.
The defence we know is good, best in the league.
Were we have been weak is in our ability to create trys.
Ben Barba who isnt even running at full tilt has in the last few games given us a glimpse of his absolute class as a rugby player.
We have seen the emergence of Regan Grace and Richardson into the first team. Richardson put in some accomplished displays this year and has shown a lot of promise. I think his time will come. I expect him to kick on greatly next season.'"
I actually think differently. We might win more games next year but in these big games its having a knock on effect now. Were turning into the bridesmaids 3 semi finals on the bounce. I believe this loss will have further damaged the players mentality for the big occasion.
