As Tim Sheens said, he speaks the language of the players, which is why he is well respected at Wests Tigers and why they want him back. That would have also made him sympathetic towards the players which is probably what led to his downfall.

You thought he should be dropped, just as we all did (some for his own good, some because they thought he was rubbish). You now slate Royce for dropping him for one game. So you have changed your mind about Foster.

Royce - " we didn't know what we was doing out there and I didn't know what we was doing and I'm the coach"

If that's the players language then I'm glad he's gone.

West tigers fans had a party when he left, read their forum comments on him.

Changed my mind on Jamie?

Which makes him perfect assistant, rather than head, coach material. Alas he wasn't our assistant coach.

Let's see if Wests give him the head coaching job seeing as they are so desperate to have him back...

TranslationChanged my mind on Jamie?'"

I posted on here before anyone else that IMO Jamie needed taking out the first team (not dropped) to build his confidence and maybe bring him down a peg or two as I got the feeling he thought he was better than he was.

I've never ever said rest backs, resting wingers and centres week in and week out like Royce knocked any sort of partnership you firm as a centre/winger partnership.

I think Jamie will come back better than he's ever been. I know for a fact he's chomping at the bit and when he gets back in, he intends to stay in because KC will not drop him if he's playing well unlike the idiot.

Just swallow your pride and admit Simmons was gash. We was boring, unorganised, clueless and lacked heart under him. The fact he was in charge for our worst ever run says it all.

That's fine. I have no problem with that. I hope he goes back there and continues the good work he was doing there.

He still got us to the Grand Final last season and he gave debuts to some very promising young players AND he did it all through a very turbulant time. So he was a decent head coach as well.

But lest I forget, he sinned against the Mighty Saints for we played BORING RUGBY!!! (We didn't, actually, at least not all the time, but hey, some fans think Daniel Anderson made us play boring rugby)

Worse than that ... WE LOST FOUR MATCHES and they were ON THE BOUNCE! Hellfire and damnation. Sacrilege. The unforgivable sin.

There you go. And now you slate Royce for doing the same thing.

The rest of what you said was your usual blather and I'm not interested in responding to it anymore.

It's the way we lost them and who we lost them to.

We was so disorganised is was funny! Totally clueless. Even the players didn't want him.

By the way, wasn't it you bagging potter for boring rugby?


We was suppose to be making Langtree park a fortress yet we've seen fans boo us off.

Bye bye royce, don't ever come back (unless it's as Wigan head coach)

Hull, you mean? They're now second in the table. Last season we lost to Quins and the team were booed off then as well. They were booed off against Hull while Potter was in charge too. Saints fans boo when they aren't happy with their team.

Last season we turned it around the very next game. Guess who we played? Ah yes. Leeds. Funny that.

Hull won't make the top four, they'll be lucky to make the top six.

He got the sack because he was gash

You think? Was Purtill gash too?

Are you really that daft?

The problem is that it appears to people reading your posts that you do.




I think most would be quite happy for him to carry on having a successful career.



Hmmm, but so did Potter. He achieved no more than Potter ever did, Potter had to introduce a lot of the players that Simmons picked, the only players that hadn't been brought into the first team under Potter were Makinson and Ashe IIRC.



Yet you have posted numerous diatribes about the very similar (in style and results) Potter...



We've been playing boring rugby since Millward left. We just had better players with more experience under Anderson.



It's the manner of the defeats that have been worrying, however I did think it only needed tinkering with when we were losing, it's just that Simmons didn't tinker in the right places.
