Can we sack the entire team?

Literally, can we clear out the entire squad?

What a pile of utter e.

Every one of them undeserving of a shirt.

Needs massive clearout. KC built a team based on negative rugby and now we don't have the players to play attacking game.

The mistakes we've made tonight was kids stuff. We are very very poor team.

What is the point of playing offloadingbattacking rugby with 5 minutes left when 20 minutes behind?

What is the fecking point?

80 minutes in a game. We only try to play when we've lost.

Useless, stupid, braindead team.

Every one in that team should write a letter of apology to Saints fans.

Enough of this rubbish.

This is our level now. It's a very very poor negative style rugby team.

Soft forwards who just accept every tackle is our biggest problem.

Tonight was probably the worst performance I've ever witnessed by a Saints side. I'm sure someone will come up with a few, but I'm struggling to identify one. Wire were more than there for the taking, at 14-0 they were fully bent over, shorts around ankles, eyes closed in resignation of their fate. I've never seen the HJ so utterly quiet, literally didn't hear a peep until they were 10 points up, such was the lack of belief they had that they would win. You could see from the reaction of their players as well that they expected an absolute hammering and were surprised it was so easy.

Wire were little better than us tonight, short of all of their decent players, but they wanted it more. They wouldn't have beaten anyone else in SL with that performance tonight, laughable at times yet comfortably better than we were.

If McManus still cares about the club, he should be thinking about refunding those that attended the game tonight. That's how poor it was, how pathetic it was.

Keiron's reign of terror has not only destroyed the last 2 seasons, but the recruitment during his reign will prevent us being competitive for the next few years as well. It will take many an off season to improve this squad to the point we're back in with a chance, yet that deluded fool still believes we've got a squad capable of competing.

Makinson - Back on wing, keep
Swift - Terrible player, hands like a penguin, release
Morgan - Bang average, release
Percival - Class, help to move to the NRL for his sake
Grace - Give him time
Fages - Not good enough, release
Smith - Awful, release
Amor - A decent squad player but always dominated in big games, keep (Just)
Roby - Sad to say, but he's finished, next season will be his last, keep
Walmsley - Class, keep
LMS - Gone backwards rapidly, release
Peyroux - Should never have been signed, release
Wilkin - Missed him tonight, but not good enough, release
Knowles - Play him 13, keep
Douglas - Slow, lumbering, lazy, release
Walker - One of our better players, keep
Lomax - Finished, release
Taia - Blows hot and cold, another absolute shocker tonight, keep (For one more season)
Richards - Not good enough, release
Thompson - Battered tonight, but one of our better players, keep
Lee - Horrendous player, far too slow and unacceptable distribution for a SL hooker
Owens - See above but replace hooker with player and distribution with every facet of the game

Just what on earth is Holbrook meant to do with that lot?

When you Saints fans were singing ' You're f*****g s**t, you're f*****g s**t. Who was that aimed at? Tad premature if aimed at Wire as I suspect. Love it when your quality chants bite you on the a**e.
On a serious note you really missed Joan 'The Moan' Wilkin tonight.

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you. Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.:Dwarfs, Gnomes, Halflings/GNOME2.JPG



Too many experienced players hiding in the shadows. Give me Luke Walsh over Matty Smith anyday for game management.

Monitoring outside for the people inside:



That was hilarious last night to see your lot go from elation to despair as the game wore on. Hardly a sound in the last 30 and a mass exodus 10 from the end. Funny to see your players going over to a virtually empty stand at the end.

Oh and regarding the "it's always you year" chant, we won the League Leaders Shield last year. What did your lot win?

I think we seen last night why Tommy isn't a fullback. 10 years ago he would have been the dream fullback as he's great under the high ball, great in defence, very brave and pretty quick but the Morden fullback needs to be able to ball play. His "out the back" last night was utterly awful. He's a out and out winger that can do a job at fullback.

Swifty as gone back. He was safe as houses until this year and I fear every time the kick is to him. His drop ball last night set the tone for Warrington comeback and give them the sniff they needed.

Ryan Morgan is decent player and can be threat but just looks disinterested and doesn't look bothered if we win or lose. I can accept a player who puts in 100% but lacks quality but he has quality and lacks effort. Send him home.

Percy is class above for us and not much more can say.

Grace as done ok and can make something from nothing but he's not ready to play week in week out yet and makes to many simple errors.

Fages for me is a good player and would become top player with better players around him. He's got the x factor play in him. Shame he's got the awful smith with him.

Matty smith is awful. His kicking is poor, his game management is poor, he won't take the line on. Worst 7 we've had in years.

Amor is solid Prop. He's little to small against big teams.

Roby is in decline but still one of our better players. It's very rare we put teams on back foot these days whicn restrict his game.

Walmsley is top quality.

Douglas is to slow, to lightweight and another KC shocker of signing.

Walker is decent prop. If we could get his off loads going.

LMS is rubbish until his contract is due. Walks around like he's carrying roll of carpet under his arms. He's way to small.

Peyroux another KC shocker.

Wilkin has to go. Been here to long and need fresh new faces and again to small.

Taia has been good. He makes space for percy and the left edge is our only hope.

Knowles, Richards, Thompson are all Avg run of the mill players. Dead wirh the ball.

I feel for the new coach as this is the toughest saints job in the last 20yrs. The worst squad we've had in Super league by miles and that's why I feel we needed a experienced coach

To be beaten is a setback - to give up is terminal:10110.jpg



I reckon its limited what any coach can do at any one time. It'll take 3 years to make the necessary changes at least to clear out the shambles thats being offered up. As a statement of intent from the new coach he could release Smith, Wilkin & LMS. Unfortunately it wont happen given the length of all of their contracts.

Whats happened at the club over the more recent past has set us back years. It'll take 3 years to make enough changes to start to make a difference but more than that to re-establish the club anywhere near the top 4. This going to be a long haul, I hope if McManus isn't up to it he plans his exit appropriately as any loss of financial backing will make the task even more difficult.

It can happen quicker than 3yrs if the club are willing to back the new coach and be brave in transfer and recruitment. Hull backed Radford last year and it's put them back in the mix in a season due to good signings.

If the new coach can bring in 4/5 good players and dump some of the crap then it doesn't take long but if the club carry on with mediocre signings then he will take along time.

Quote: Legman " It'll take 3 years to make the necessary changes at least to clear out the shambles thats being offered up. '"

TS took over at Wire in 2009 & we were awful and had been for years. In 2009 we won the CC &e again in 2010 when we finished 3rd. In 2011 we were awesome and the same in 2012 (when we again won the CC). So it took TS 2 years to turn us around, but as St Pete says in needs an experienced coach to turn a poor team around.
