If you are asking me, the same. We have over-achieved this season and whislt we may have played well in certain games, the consistency hasn't been there and the brand of rugby has been boring.

Who is to say Leeds would not have responded...?
The truth is that Potter has bored the pants off most fans. The flair has completely evaporated from the side. There are mitigating circumstances like the slower PTB, but MP's style is grind it down the middle.
The traditions of the club have always been ones of open and attacking rugby. I think there are more than a few who may be picking and choosing their games next season whilst MP remains in charge - FFS we looked short of ideas against Salford.

Totally agree with this, he plays down the middle with a team without a full compliment of props. The props he does have are ball playing props but he doesn't play to these strengths and is stiffling the team. |

To me it looks like our line in attack is much flatter than under Daniel Anderson. It doesn't suit Pryce at all as the defense are in his face to quickly. It's made Meli look better in attack as we're creating an overlap for him. If I remember correctly we used to have a staggered shallow and deep attacking line under Daniel Anderson giving us both options.

yeah, must have been a different coach that saw Justin Murphy the leading try scorer in 2006, the "greenshields" scrum play developed in 2007 and Murphy go at a try a game in 2008!  |

I dont give a what he did at Catalans but I can see with my own eye's what Saints have turned into this season. We have plenty of excuses to hide behind but the simple fact is at the moment we play very very dour Rugby. Maybe with a good off season we will be better next year .. guess we'll have to wait and see

One of the best Saints performances i've seen in recent years came at Headingley earlier this year, when Wilkin played 6, wonder who decided to play him there?
I can see with my own eyes that Saints have an ageing squad and fatigued at the the back end of the season. Who do you blame for that? Potter for not replacing the tired players with new ones or the previous management for offering contracts to a whole squad of players that would see them at Saints in their mid-30's? |

Lets face it..... He's done no worse than DA did in his first season... if we're not counting finishing top.
Some of our fans need a reality check, DA gets all the praise in the world.... but he still failed to win us 2 Grand Finals v Leeds... and that was with a much stronger squad than Potter has had to chose from.
Get off the guys back...

But under DA the signs of success were always there. We played very well the majority of the time and you could see the team winning trophies.
Can you honestly see this Saints side under Potter winning anything? It's a struggle to see them winning an away game next season at the moment, given how few points we're scoring. The attacking deficiencies are not a short term thing, it's getting on for 10 games since we scored more than 15 points, which is absolutely ridiculous. |

Tweet from @martinoffiah 23/08/2011: 'Must admit i did love watching Saints- Cunningham Joynt Longy Tommy then Leon, last classic RL team ever'. Even the dark side can't help but love the rebellion.:Transparent Backgrounds/Kermit%20the%20Frog.gif |

Surely that makes DA a weaker coach than Potter then?
DA Strong side, looking unbeatable during regular season. Bottle GF's.
Potter Weak side, struggle for form during regular season. Push Leeds all the way in GF.

But lets face it, if I had coached that Saints side, do you think they would have failed to make the GF?
We had no real challenge in the play offs. Huddersfield's season finished on Challenge Cup final day and Wigoon weren't up to much.
The side Potter has isn't that much weaker than those Anderson had. He's one or two men down in terms of the squad, but the 17 we put out at the weekend was as good. |
