He doesn't want the job, you can see on Sky how uncomfortable he is when the cameras are on him.

It's also far too early to judge them, we've not seen how the coaching gurus will cope when our current plan A, which is working spectacularly doesn't work. We've changed how we play the game under these two, arguably going way back to Millward's attacking plays. Last week and tonight were an all out assault on the ruck area and teams aren't coping with it. Plenty of dummy runners in attack to confuse the defensive line and a swarming defense.

Brilliant tactics and playing the way that suits our players. We were dominant in the pack again tonight in the spells that mattered.

Thing is its' not really a plan A or B, were just doing the basics really well, running hard, dummy runners etc etc . We look to be playing with freedom rather than a rigid structure

Not sure where wello has found the extra yard of pace from though ...

It's to early to judge rush and KC yet but very very impressive what they have done in two weeks.

The main thing they have done IMO, they have put that grit back into the lads. The defence in the second half was like the saints of old and then going up the other end and sia getting over.

Typical of saints to give late try away tho!

Probably is a bit soon but I'm just enjoying th way we are playing at the moment, we look like Saints !!

Mike Rush is a bit reluctant but so is Guardiola at Barca and he's not doing a bad job

And long may it continue

Mike Rush the Guardiola (or Rinus Michels) of St Helens !

I think there's been a combination of thing leading to our improvement over the last two games

i) As Robes said in his post match interview after Royce was sacked the lads had to take a good look in the mirror and admit they were desperately underperforming.
ii) The whole team have hit match fitness including Perry who, whilst still a few pounds over weight for me, has had a good two games.
iii) We've played two of the 'Big 3' and raised our game accordingly.
iv) We've had a largely settled squad/line up with no random chopping and changing for the sake of it.
v) Success and positivity breeds more of the same.

and the big one for me

vi) Urgency. We've not been the sluggish, slow and ruck dominated team we were for the first few weeks, we've been quick in the ruck in attack and defence and our line speed has been massively better than it was, our support running has been excellent too whereas in the opening games we had no options left or right when we broke tackles. Our 'lighter' more athletic pack have helped in this area too.

This! it's like a different team

I agree with all this. I think the latter point is part and parcel of revving up as the season gets underway.

Mike Appleton said on Twitter that wasn't it good to see Meli enjoying his rugby again on the wing. Well sure, that's great for Meli, but it is not the best place for him to play. Had Warrington been on their game tonight, or Leeds last weekend, we would have been peppered down that side and much joy would have been had, especially with the daft decision to debut a player on that side against Warrington. I think indulging the senior players will come back to bite us.

Also, we looked fragile at one point in the second half when Warrington actually brought the game to us. We began making mistakes and giving away penalties. So even with Meli happy on the wing we look a long way from the side people are claiming we look like.

I like rush and KC way of thinking. It's like the old school way of thought. They ain't trying to be to clever with stupid ideas and methods and it's working.

We took josh jones off at just the right time for him and the team.

We are using substitutions better with perry and laffranchci giving us a great starting platform.

They seem very old school and I like it.

It's good to see Meli and the rest of the lads enjoying playing rugby again tho.

To be fair that was always going to happen with them playing on the friday and us on the Sunday. We did look fatigued at that point which could account for the errors, and after getting the slight rub of the green in the first half Thaler was always going to even it out in the second, piggy-backing them up the pitch.

I do agree though we are still a way off our potential best.

Maybe it was fatigue but it's been the same since the Grand Final.
