| Quote: Offside Monkey "I am not one to jump on the coaches back. I also remember thinking, when were beating Leeds in midseason last year that we were seeing some excellent displays of rugby, in a patient, controlled and precise manner.
However, our performances did slip and it was much harder work for us to get to the GF than in previous years. In the CC Huddersfield also showed that an agressive defence causes us all sorts of bother (in a way not too dissimilar to when Hull knocked us out in 05).
I missed the match on Sat as I was away so can't comment too much on it and I'm all for admitting that the coaches, even bad ones (even Paul Cullen, or is that too far), know more about rugby league than me. However, our play on the last tackle has been atrocious for a long time and reportedly the off season hasn't remedied a very basic problem. Dux told me this in an email the other day -
If this is true (which I presume it is) then we have a serious problem. Whether its with the coaches technical knowledge or his ability to get the players to do what he asks, there's something up.
Jeez, we'll be getting beat by Warrington at this rate.
Interesting though, who do we get to replace him? The saints board aren't rash deceison makers, so you're looking at the end of the season for a change. There must be a few coaches in SL (and even down under) who'll be eyeing up the position. Club under performing, good set of youngsters, new stadium on the way - an attractive proposition.'"
If we didnt go with somebody already at the club (in the short term at least) I'm assuming we'd need go look at another Aussie - who's available?

| I wonder how KC would go as player/coach? with 2 other 9's here he could take his step back, and who better to inspire the lads, plus he has learned from some good coaches, would be loved by the fans and would do what is best for the club, whatever that might mean (dropping big stars etc)

If we continue playing as we have been playing and if Wigan and HKR continue playing as they are playing, we are going to get hammered by both of them.

If we play like we did against Hull all season we better get used to being hammered

Hull are an older side but they are playing fine and actually winning.
It isn't age that's crippling us, it's the way we're playing.

I wouldn't worry to much about wigan or hull kr just yet. Its only week 2!
Wigan looked a very well drilled team last night. They looked fit, fast, sharp, everything we wasn't last week at hull but as i said its week 2 and early days.
Last year hull won there first 5 games and didn't make play offs. I still think wigan have a lot to improve on in attack even though they put two big scores on so far.
I thought KR looked poor in large spells last night but didn't give up which kept the score down.

| potter has clearly inherited an ageing first team,i lay the blame clearly at the feet of the board of directors.
should they not be in more control of our squad replacement at the relevant times?

Across the board, our team is younger than it was last year.
