Two great coaches. One revolutionised the attacking game (moving our attack away from the wings and through the middle with repeated dummy half runs) whilst the other reformed defence.

In that first season our defence was the best I've seen in Britain.

came first every year he was in charge, won 3 CC's 1 SL and and a WCC, whereas we averaged around 3rd under millward, good if your a wigan fan, but we wouldn't be happy with that now.
DA brought a new level of professionalism to our club and that seems to be continued under Slick.
I would rather have the past 4 years results than the 3 before that!

Far too many people denigrate Millward's achievements (mainly because he went to Wigan). When he arrived at Saints he was the best coach in Britain by a mile. His tactics (relying heavily on dummy half running with dual hookers and switching players into unfamiliar positions) turned the game on its head.

I'm not denying his achievements, but the way he effectively through matches before cup games dissapointed me, we payed the same to go and watch them, and quite often we would lose the cup match anyway

There's no doubt that Millward's ego got out of control - but as a coach he was a genius. He was the only coach who devised an effective gameplan to take on and defeat the massive Bradford side.

If millward had left under better terms we would be calling him a legend.

At the end of the day his record spoke for it's self.

It's all well and good saying we only finished round the 3rd postion under millward but he won the grand final a good few times which is the aim of every team at the start of the year.

I bet DA would swap his league leaders plate medals for grand final rings.

Saying that though in a funny way I think DA was the better coach even tho his record don't say that.

He was a legend, well to me. The guy gave us trophies galore, and many many happy memories, and many DVD's worth of good tries and attacking moves. Legend indeed, he let the good times roll and couldnt give a ratsass about the odd bad time we encountered, nor could he give a ratsass about WOMEN PR at Warrington Wolfs

Millward was the Brian Clough of RL. His career echoed Clough's in so many ways. His career was ended by injury. He took on the establishment and they despised him for it. He was the master of mind games. His team played with peerless flair. He was extremely successful and when he was canned he appealed to the fans (who worshipped him) and attempted to divide them from the board (just as Clough did when he was sacked by Derby).

I think it's great to have Basil back in England. I have good memories of his time at Saints - a rollercoster of a time, as people have said, but a great one even so. He had passion and energy and skill and a good bit of controversy to keep everyone on their toes. I wonder if he's mellowed with age? Apparently age does that to you.

Anyhoo. I hope he does well with Leigh. I'm sure he will. I hope he hasn't lost his controversial edge either because except for Justin Morgan's occasional liveliness the coaches seem to be a right boring lot these days so it would be great to have a bit of spice back in British RL!

Good luck to Agent Millward. In short he won stuff for us , made us brilliant to watch and made the pies even worse... difficult to beat that

PMSL !!

the guys a complete sh*t ! end of
