we have played one man rugby nearly all year but are top of league and scored more points than anyone. We are boring and no great to watch.

Is that down to our coach, injurires or some players being just not good enough?

IMO it's a bit of all but it's bit harsh to ask for new coach.

Swap you for Noble.

We're still top, it's not the end of the world, just because we lost a semi final in the CC. If it was the final eliminator then i can understand it, we were out played today and Huddersfield deserve their place.

It seems to me that Potter is doing the same to us as he did to Catalans, started the season fantasticly but dropped away towards the end of the season. It will be interesting next week to see how we get over the loss, and part of that will be down to Potter.

Give Potter a chance, we did say at the start of the season that it was a transition season, or re we going back on that?

all he has done is brought the style of play he coached at Catalans -and it is very boring.

As an outsider looking in your style of play has changed somewhat which you would expect with a new coach coming in, however to call for his head so early maybe a little drastic, he's having to deal with things such as Long and Cunningham leaving and the introduction of more kids that Anderson didn't have to.

ok ill eat my hat and detract all i say about pansy if we get grand final.But this is not a jerk reaction coz im miffed we didnt get to wembley hudds deserved it and well played to em,its just from what i have seen everybody knows from the field position saints have been in we should have had a hatful of tries.we were very lucky against wigan today was wigan game revisited .we are stuck in one dimension and cant see there being a radical change to pansys system.ill stick to my guns hes not a great deal more to bring we stuck in potter time.ill vote for changeicon_smile.gif

I am suspicious this whole thread is trolling.

But for me he is looking a very poor appointment. People say he was brought in to develop a squad. Coaches in SL have no input into squad development, the big men on the board make those calls these days and Potter just gets to coach whoever turns up to training.

He was given a hard job, a team being stupidly taken apart through retirements and departures of so many senior players not being replaced. But despite this the team hasn't played well consistently at any time this season. I can only think of the Leeds games and away to Bradford and Cas as games where I've come away thinking we've played well. The home games in particular have been turgid struggles and although we're top we are not anywhere near the level Anderson had us at in recent seasons. This doesn't bode well for the playoffs at all.

Potter has failed his first big test but why replace him? Who else could win anything with the squad and the injuries we've got?

I was nearly hung the other week for saying we are boring!!

The problem with us trying to play like Catalan is they had good big hard working pack but all we got is the 1 man pack in James graham

But i wonder what anderson would have done with the benefit of the dearth of talent coming through that anderson didnt have at his disposal.pansy's catalan style is written large on saints and yes we are top of league in a year when no sides have been to my mind exceptional

Similiar things were said after Hull beat us in the 2005 semi final

What a complete waste of time this thread is. The club will never ever consider replacing Potter. He's been brought in to do a job, and he will be at the club for some time yet until that job is complete or until he himself decides to move on. So you might as well get used to it, because it ain't gonna change.

You don't need a new coach it was just that he was outcoached by the best coach in Super League.

Is this thread a take!!! Top of the league and because we got outplayed in a semi then it's sack th coach..Were not a club like that and we should judge Potter when his contract is up, were not wigan

I cant believe you guys are shouting for a new coach already - you will know if Potter is up to it if he can find adequate replacements for your key players who are coming to the end of their careers - I am sure he will.

Saints problem is that key players are in the twilight of their careers - I am sure this influenced Daniel Anderson's decision to go home.

Are you for real?
