With Lomax, Swift, Turner, Percival, Makinson, Burns and Walsh do you truly believe we are go ing to get dull rugby.

Er, what?

So Keiron reads the forums does he? He takes his inspiration from the fans does he? Well, if he does either or both of these then he's screwed as a coach before he even starts!

Looks like Saints Fan is getting her jabs in early this time.

no one will do until Royce returns.

As for the GB coach, well done. But anyone can be GB coach. Even a reserve coach in Austrailia, who can't get a job in SL.

But yes he coached GB, but that was 3 games. I'm pretty sure he was not a club coach before Saints and not even sure if he was an assistant anywhere???

Point being every coach has to start somewhere.

The only sad thing about becoming head coach is that you effectively accept it's the beginning of the end of your ties with a club. As sooner or later all coaches move on. Success is fleeting and so are the fans and loyalties for a head coach. He may get 2 years. May get 5. But in the end it's a job with only one outcome.

Pop quiz which was the last team before Saints this year to top the table with 8 losses??????

Saints in 2007!!!!!

spot on there judder man......

he doesn't have to read the forums..i know him so i'll tell him from you....and as for you saying he's screwed as a coach with so-called-fans like you your right.....have a nice day...

Let's get Royce back and play with 16 men every week and put a winger on the bench while the players are dead on their feet someone sat on their bottom on the bench


Royce is the worst coach we ever had

We didn't this season so hopefully we wont next either, especially if Walsh is allowed the freedom of the pitch in the way he was during 2014. With Burns playing for us we should certainly see some feisty rugby!

How can so many people be so so wrong and one women be so so right?

KC is crap because he was thrown in the deep end in 2012 and played dull rugby with a team that had all it's confidence stripped away by a coach that was awful and was a laughing stock among players.

Nathan Brown was crap because he didn't play the Harlem globetrotter rugby with a team that had no halves (partly down to Royce). Brown got us to the semi in his first year and in his 2nd year won the double but he's crap.

Royce brought in two terrible signings in Hohaia who was never a 6 and laffranchi who was never a out and out prop.

Brown has rebuilt the team that potter and Royce had demolished but he's crap.

Jesus women, just admit you got it wrong.

He may well have won a double, but he sometimes puts his hands in his pockets and shrugs. I'm not willing to overlook that in favour of some trinkets or "champions" tag.

Seriously, Have you ever known that to happen

EVER?????????????

Congratulations, a wonderfully reasoned article
