| Quote: Carlos Alberto "I do wonder what some Saints speccies demand they see? Only the best free-flowing rugby league week in, week out? Where a team have failed if they don't outscore their opponents by at least 60 points, with every member of the team scoring twice in an exhibition of majestic rugby league unseen on this Earth - nay, this Galaxy?
You could put Wayne Bennett, Craig Bellamy, DA, Phil Gould or the Messiah himself in charge of this Saints team but we won't win sh*t without Props or a settled half-back combination. Neither of which we've had for the majority of this season. As soon as the more intelligently challenged members of this board accept this, the better it'll be for the club, the fans, the youngsters trying their best and the coach trying his hardest in the face of a crippling injury list.
But hey, none of this matters when we can just [sizeBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO[/size the players for 80 minutes, does it? Because we're Saints fans and we demand perfection.'"
People are entittled to their opinions and you know what when you get down off your high horse there you might see some of the criticism is justified. Running with injuries is hard and anyone with a brain can tell that we were going to struggle with a paper thin squad and some nasty long term injuries BUT that is not an excuse for some of the crap we have been seeing in recent weeks. Some of the BASICS of rugby league have been missing , last tackle options for a start have been beyond poor i.e getting caught with the ball in hand on the last tackle so many times .. another classic was the Wello kicking lark .. surely Potter had options. Some of the plays we have executed or not as the case maybe when we have been on the opposition lines are again very very poor (and not having Sean Long is no excuse). I can understand us making mistakes in the middle of the park with HB's playing behind a weak pack but when your on the opposition's line ....
Personally I dont boo my own team but after the Hudds game (both of them) I was very frustrated at the quality of some of the play onshow.

And that can be a dangerous thing as if it's not done in the correct way it can slow them down and make us an even slower team than we are now

| The players are defo being over trained, thats a fact, players have said this themselves, and they are not happy about it, and it shows in both instances. We are jaded and it shows. A little bird told me that potter was only an interim coach, as we couldn`t get the person we really wanted last season.

That little bird was very very wrong.
The Potter deal was done long before being announced.

| Quote: diehardofowld "And guess what..... nothing has changed in all of this time. The players, the coach, and the supporters, all in their time get bagged and slagged by each other. Part of being a supporter that you come to understand that players, coaches and supporters come and go, for whatever reason, but the club remains. It's not about winning or losing, its about the style, the flair and the passion not about reminding the players of 2 "bottled" GF's Truely amazing to say expectation levels are so high, then come up with bottling grand finals. '"
Very well said IMO.

Maybe so do. However it's the wrong players that are being told to gain the weight.

Alls I can say is you wouldn't believe me if I told you. One of them one of his main assets is speed in open play, in particular against a slow moving defence.

Indeed, and it's an opinion that supporters who boo a team that's top of the league and just been in the CC semi aren't as good supporters as they think they are. As you say, people are entitled to their opinions.
Quote: No1 Saint "Personally I dont boo my own team but after the Hudds game (both of them) I was very frustrated at the quality of some of the play onshow.'"
It always amazes me the number of people who don't boo themselves, but fully understand and try to justify the people who do.
