| Brian Mac not happy with performance and said the score reflected the game.
Shaun Wane said wasn't happy with the score and super league miles behind nrl.
KC said he was proud of his players and things didn't go our way.
I know which two are telling the truth and being honest with themselves.

| Well, out of the 3 embarrassing games for Super League, Saints margin of defeat was less than Wigan and Leeds. It's nothing to be proud of getting battered 'the least' but it's a fact.
Nobody is calling for Wane or Mac to be sacked.
When I came on this board after the Huddersfield win, I didn't see anyone calling for KC to be sacked. And I know the rugby's boring. It was boring last season. I'll argue that it was boring under Brown, even when we won the league it was boring but effective rugby against adversity. We haven't been great to watch for years, it's not just something that's happened under KC. He's simply inherited it and it's not an overnight fix, we can't just go out and blow a load of money on a Newlove or Sculthorpe anymore. He can only use what he's being given so quite clearly by looking at the recruitment, it's for the future...it's to grow a team.

Exactly. KC is not there to tell the truth, he is there to manage St Helens. He can tell the players what he likes away from the camera but for everyone he is proud and thought it could have gone differently.

I don't mind him trying to take positives from the game but he was just clearly wrong

Post-match interviews are nothing more than theatre. 90% of the questions asked you can predict before the interviewer opens his mouth. 98% of the responses to those questions you can predict TO THE SYLLABLE.
If the post-match interview ever had any relevance it drained away years ago. The whole thing is an empty charade which serves only to fill an additional five minutes of programming. The questions you most want asked (i.e. tough ones) never are whilst those you already know the answer to carry on repeating.
Occasionally you get the odd player or coach who goes off script. But such rarities aren't worth the time invested listening to rote answers, cliches, daft questions ("How do you feel after this win?" etc. etc.) and incomprehensible gibberish.

Nobody's asking him to bag players or the team but to be honest. He looked like a clown making them comments.
Wane and Brian mac didn't bag players or the team but they was honest.

| Think KC has come up with a big spat on Stevo's comments who was suggesting super league players are boozers and not bruisers.

| Aussie players NEVER booze. Just ask Mitchell Pearce.
Was interesting hearing what KC blamed for the gulf in class between the 2 leagues. He has a point.

What did he say?
The school systems, youth systems, through to the academy, reserves....It stems from the start, that's why they are better at Rugby than us. It's drilled into them from an early age, when it comes to professional level, they're like well oiled machines. We will never compete with them until we grow the sport in this country - it's impossible. Ok, we can compete every now and again in a one-off WCC or an international game, but on a whole - we are nowhere near them! I hate to say it but it's true! I went to a school in St Helens, a RL town, and there was no rugby at all....you think that would happen in NSW or Queensland - not a chance.

| So in his latest conference he states he wants Turner back at 6 and Dawson will be the centre to replace Percival. The bloke is so out of his depth its unreal but more fool the club itself.
I also think its an absolute disgrace the club told Dom Peyroux thst he couldent stay at home for the birth of his child after he asked. I dont care what job or profession youre in nothing comes before your kids.
I remember saints letting Lyon go home for 2 weeks for the birth of his son. The club is not what it use to be from top to bottom. It stinks to be honest.

Not here on a wind up, but whilst yours was the closest in terms of scoreline it was the biggest gap in terms of quality, for my money Saints delivered comfortably the worst of the three performances. Sydney simply didn't have to earn their tries.
As for Cunningham? As an outsider looking in he's the biggest problem you've got. Saints is too big a job to be learning as you go.
