Thanks v much for that, he was amazing in his reign at your place and I think the majority of your fans recognise that.

He has got a job on his hands now but if anyone can turn this around for us ......its Basil !!!!

I wish Agent Millward the best of luck, he brought me so many memories that will last forever like the Wide to West, SL trophies, CC trophies and of course that game at KR that ended 75-0.

Best of luck Basil & Leigh.

He is a legend who ruined his copybook with the last few months of his time at Saints.

But surely you can see that it was his will to win and do right for the club that caused all that? I doubt there has ever been a Saints coach who wanted to win as much as Millward did. For an Aussie he was fantastic in that regard. Now we have had 2 coaches after him who look more like poker players in comparison.

Not really, it's quite possible that it was because he's a cock (I've never met him so can't comment either way).

It was a fantastic time to be a supporter of the club though, I doubt we'll ever see a time like it again.

Saints and basil we well together and he brought good attacking rugby back to saints.

We was always good to watch and he had a knack of knowing how to win big games.

I think basil going was helped by a top coach in DA coming in and putting defence into the team.

All in all I still like basil as we won a lot of finals with him.

Towards the end he'd lost that knack though.

Controversy or not, I think it was a good time for him to move on.

70-0 away against leeds was deplorable.

Yes I think you prob rite but I think the impact DA had made us forget just what a good job he did.

His record speaks for it self.

I can still see myself stood at the ground, head resting on hand, looking around and seeing fans applaud the team. I did the same. Never understood to this day why we applauded, must have been the water carriers I think. Went to a restaurant afterwards in Headingley, had plenty fans knocking on the windows and coming in to give us some banter, but nothing put me on my enchiladas and refried beans, yum yum yum a positive on a shyttttttt night.

Ian Milkyard sure gave us some rollercoaster moments.

it was a shocker, but in a way that is what so so good about the Millward era - it was a proper roller coaster ride. Never a dull moment.

For all the really bad results, there were even more really good ones.

The imfamous thrown away matches at bradford...
I'd have our time under DA any day thanks.
