Just like some weren't happy with Hanley/Millward/Anderson but oh how the trophies rolled in.

I.M.O






the jury was out when we announced him as our next coach and its still out as far as i'm concerned

I'm a fan of Potter.

We don't have a left centre, Cayless has been out all year, Longy is picking up knocks and has been awful at times and we have blooded lots of kids. Yet we're top of the league and in the semi of the cup.

Not sure what more we can ask the bloke to do.

I get the impression some people won't warm to him because he isn't grinning and cracking jokes in interviews, but I'd rather have a good coach than a good clown.

He'll do for me.

doing a good job - if at the start of the season you had offered me the current position: top of the league, in the cup semi (after destroying Leeds), only 4 defeats and brought in 5 or 6 young lads; I would have been delighted.

Admittedly, we havent played well every week - and some of the performances have been as bad as I can remember, but on the whole its going well.

We have to remember that we are a club in transition on and off the field, and Potter probably has had the hardest coaching task at Saints since Eric Hughes. He has 3 years to completely rebuild the team, and the signs so far are good.

If Roguey is right (which I doubt), and some fo the senior players are not happy - i'm not too bothered, the young lads are the ones that need to be kept happy not the likes of Sean Long.

Christ dont buy into his little dreamword where he actually has inside info.
He's just a p1ss poor troll.

He is probably right. It is hardly unusual for certain players to build a rapport with a coach, the coach leaves and they don't have have the same relationship. Just as ones who didn't get on as well with the previous coach, now do.

Unfortunately for Rogues, his attempts at sensationalism are rather poor.

Wouldnt disagree,it's the fact he likes us all to think he's some sort of insider that makes my @rse wink.

The guy's doing a great job. No major issues. A couple of minor ones. Top of the league.

I mean, what more can you ask for?

Nutella does it for me.

He's your archetypal; I have the knowledge, but am never specific so it is nothing more than pure speculation type.

Can't knock him so far. As has been pointed out, we're top of the league and in the last four of the cup, and have seen the emergence of a handful of exciting young players. We've also managed all of this one prop light. Pretty impressive I'd say.

We have been shocking in one or two games where our handling and discipline have let us down, but this was not unheard of under Anderson, and most certainly not under Millward.

No moans so far, kept the winning mentality going. Still first in teh league, scored more than anyone, conceeded less than anyone ( I think, might be wrong never checked for a while ), in teh CC semi final, created a world record away game winning streak. Hit the 50 a few times without being spectacular and WOW.

I think its all goign well so far, the guy has entered our club at a time were the household big gun names are starting to fall apart and move on. Not the easiest of times to take control of the club, some fols would say "transition"...

7 out of 10 for me so far, been bored a bit to much for my likeing.

Matty smith should never have been dropped that year. We was on something like 11 match unbeaten run then long walked straight back in the team.

Long always does get straight back in team and will again no matter how well eastmond does.

It would be great to see longy back in saints kit before he leaves but I'd rather Kyle turn it on and keep longy out.

agreed

Didn't the same thing happen years ago with Briers and Goulding, which ultimately led to Briers going to Wire?

Long got selected in front of Smith because he was, and still is, several classes above him. It was a no brainer.

Kyle has his chance now, let's see what he does with it.
