If they do make the play-offs, then I'd say that once again Potter will have proven his credentials as a quality coach. I think it's too big an ask, though.'"
I'd put money on them making the eight next year.
They have signed a few ok players that will improve them a great deal next year. Also orford will be fit which is massive for them.
Bryn and elima will improve there pack.

I will repeat, since you have just returned from holiday ( ): if you want to know what I think of Potter then you'll have to go searching. I really cannot be bothered repeating what I have said before in different discussions and I do not want the usual tirade of insults for expressing an opinion which doesn't go down well with some on here. I'm sure if you think about then you will remember the points I've put forward before now. You've disagreed with them often enough!

I have only disagreed on the fact you don't think he's done a very good job at saints.
I don't know all your opinions on why.

Some people always used to believe the world was flat, no matter what was said. Sometimes, it is best just to let them worry about falling off the edge.

You're assuming the people worried.

| Granted its from someone who doesn't see saints every week, but Potter seems to have kept you at a similar standard (results wise) whilst losing key personell and not replacing them with new signings. Long was the heartbeat of your side, and then add that to the injuries you've had this year to finish 2nd surely constitutes a very successful season.
In my opinion the least he deserved was another year with the raft of quality signings your making. The youngsters he's developed will stand you in good stead for years to come, and your filling the gaps with quality signings.
For me, your the team to beat next year (dependant on your new coach)

Her arguments have tended to go like thisWhy don't you like/rate potter?'"
He isn't Daniel Anderson, isn't as emotive as Anderson and does not look as good in sunglasses.
Quote: St pete "Do you not think he's done well this year with our current injury problems?'"
No. The players have won the matches, Potter has lost all our games due to not being Daniel Anderson.
Quote: St pete "Would DA have done a better job?'"
Yes.
Quote: St pete "Do you feel he has done anything good in his 2yrs at saints ?'"
No.

I'm willing to put money on the bulks to make top eight.
You care to have a bet ? Maybe you and saintsfan can chip in together!
As you both think potter is a rubbish coach taking over a rubbish team, you can't lose!!!

| Read back over some of the threads from the first few weeks of the season and it becomes very clear very quickly who are the rational posters with a clue are and who are the knee jerkers without one.
Potter has done an incredible job this year in the circumstances, it's undeniable. That's not to say some of the latter category above won't try to, mind.

I wonder if it's ever crossed anyone's mind that he might not have actually wanted another year at Saints? He might have wanted to go back to Australia, just like he said, but there were no jobs there and so he went back to Bradford. Or maybe he wanted to go to Bradford all along but was biding his time in St Helens. Who knows?
Who cares?
Not me. I'm looking forward to seeing what Rolls can do, especially with the young guys who have settled in well to the first team, having been developed by our great youth system, one of if not the best in British RL at present.

Thought so, duly noted. 12 year olds havent really developed mentally enough to give rational explanations so I will just ignore everything you say.
