I believe so yes

Spot on.

Brown should come out and distance himself from the wests job and show saints he's committed to us.

My only concern with Brown is the constant talk of him going to the NRL.

Thats not going to happen , if they offer it to him he'll be gone.

Knowing brown's past history of links with the nrl, I'd be surprised if his contract didn't have some sort of clause heavily weighted in saints favour if he decided to leave early.

You'd think so, but this is Saints we're talking about...

John Stankevitch, nailed on i heard.

All these coaches like the same thing - big forwards and quick PTB. Yesterday's news IMO and too easily combated on the big occasion, as Bradford used to find out when they played us (back when we could win a final).

Don't you think that he should test himself at a lesser club first? You don't jump from being manager at Blackpool to Juventus. You have to prove you can handle tougher competition first and it's huge step up from the championship to the top flight these days, just ask Millward.

Agree with this.

You may pinch Potter from Bradford his future is still in limbo

I wouldnt worry about that.

Mock all you like but we could do worse. It's more likely that I'll be Saints' next coach though.

Potter was badly done to here. Our kids would have been in a better position now for a start if we had kept him over Simmons and Rush.

Very true. If you remember back, Potter was grossly unpopular due to the style of rugby we were playing. It was all about defense, our attack was horrific. We went something like 20 games without scoring 20 points I seem to remember. It just wasn't the Saints way and he was fired.

Rush and Cunningham was an enormous mistake, the club panicked and got rid of a coach they should never have appointed. Rush then did away with the progress Gaskell and Lomax had made and could easily have ruined the development of several of our younger players, as none of them have progressed this season. When Royce was fired, we should have brought Brown in. If not, a proper coach should have been appointed, who could have nurtutred the younger players, rather than simply dropping most of them.

Royce and Rush have also continued Potter's legacy of boring, playing the percentages rugby. But is this their fault I find myself asking? Or is it due to the limitations of the squad they have at their disposal? We've been over how awful our recruitment has been, so what exactly is there for these coaches to work with? We have the worst set of 1-5 backs in Super League's top half, we have no halfbacks (We do have Gaskell but stubbornly refuse to play him) and a solid, but often out enthused and dominated pack. How are they supposed to play an entertaining brand of rugby with that squad?
