Completely agree. Potter has done some brilliant work with this side and as for its heart and spirit it may well go down as one of the gutiest, if not the gutsiest, Saints teams I've ever seen.

You will be calling for his head when we knock you out in Week 3

i already am calling for hes head

But you're an idiot.

I think Potter can rightly hold his head high with what he's done with Saints. He's proved the doubters wrong during this "transitional" stage

I think potter has done a awesome job this year and should be proud with what he leaves behind when he joins the bulls.

Actually, I have never been Potter's biggest critic. I was still on the fence until a couple of months ago and said so on here.

I will say this though, rlhe could certainly do with some PR trainingrl"His kicking game, his prowess and his knowledge of Knowsley Road was helpful but him being available was the key.

"We didn't really have anyone else. Our other option was young Jamie Ellis who is just back from a knee re-construction."[/i

Beautifully put, especially after not contacting Smith for months.

I will be very glad to see the back of him. I have said that before. No point repeating it ad nauseum really, is there?

On what Basis would you like to see the back of him? For getting within 80 minutes of a CC final and finishing second in the table after a season, decimited by injury?

Id rather have kept Potter than apoint Sizzler and I know for a fact pretty much all the saints players feel the same.

Yeah, yeah! How many times have posters claimed to know facts where Saints players and their opinions are concerned. Apparently, I think it was last season, there were arguments aplenty between Saints players and Mick Potter but your facts say they'd all rather play for him than Rolls. It's all bollox.

No, I tell you what was bollox, the stories of the fallings out. When you see the saints players around town after a few drinks when they are likely to open up, ask their opinions on Potter.

Anyway, you never answered my question, on what basis are you glad to see the back of him?

Agreed.
Personally I,ve never ever slagged Mick Potter off these past 2 seasons, because I know he's battling on 2 fronts. Getting the young players through and still getting the team to achieve something.
Our previous 2 coaches had 3 legends in Long/Sculthorpe/Cunningham, Mick potter has created a team that will survive and compete at the highest level next season without the 3 mentioned.

I disagree.

All saints key cogs, that will help them compete for years into the future, were there when potter took over.

Saints level of performance visibly dropped when potter took over last year. as opposed to the anderson days.

All potters done is maintained.

Losing sean long does not count as a major period of transition.

Saints have a great youth system and foundations will always be there for success.
