The players (Pryce included), can only play the way Potter coaches and tells them to play. And in my opinion we have become a team who is ruled by set plays rather than the off the cuff stuff of a few years ago. Every team has set plays but you have got to be prepared to chuck the ball about a bit, try offloads etc as Leeds did when things weren't going right.
The only time we tried this was in the last 2 mins when the game was lost and we were passing the ball from wing to wing and trying everything. OK we never scored, but we seemed to be dragging the Leeds defence about a bit. Who knows if we had tried it a bit earlier what would have happened.
I'm not saying we should sack the coach or anything, as he has made us a well drilled outfit with superb defence, but seeing as we can't score more than 15 points in recent games (poor, for a team who thought nothing of sticking 50 or 60 on teams). Perhaps he should loosen the reigns of Pryce and a few others and let them get back to what they do best!!

I'd say that was spot on, with the exception of the comment about the defence, which was even better under Anderson IMO (certainly more consistently superb anyway).

I thought Potters game plan was spot on tonight.

The kicking game was working and kicking from dummy half was clever thinking but it was players mistakes tonight that cost us.

At 10-9 I thought the game was ours but that dropped ball by meli took the wind out of us.

Potter's game plan was like NRL circa 1996 - 5 drives, kick, play in their twenty and wait for them to make a mistake. The problem is that although we were very good at that in the first half, the bit that Potter's forgotten is that when you're in the opposition twenty with the ball - YOU STILL HAVE TO SCORE !

Out there, we have players who have been scoring for fun for years, who remain some of the most potent attacking forces in the game - Pryce, Roby, Gidley, Gilmour, Puletua. Yet for the last 4 months they've offered as much attacking threat as a pub side. When we get in the opponents' twenty we look clueless. There's little support, there are few angles being run, the moves end more often in cock-ups than in good final plays designed to regain possession. People say defence wins games - but sadly tonight showed that ain't true - attack wins games, because defence scores you no points.

Potter needs an attacking coach to put some threat back into Saints, because the last few months have been the most incompetent attacking display from Saints that I've seen in the last 13 years, and that's saying something. I don't care that the defence is great. Leeds offered plenty of opportunities for a decent attacking side to score tonight - they looked vulnerable, but we looked hopeless with ball in hand.

Maybe he borrowed Richard Agars coaching manual, but then again Agar admitted he doesn't have one.

You have done the easy bit in identfiying the problems, now name names. Which coaches/players should be replaced, and by whom ?

Bear in mind contractual obligations, salary cap restrictions and the financial position of the club.

Attack has been shocking in my opinion for a long time.

Kicking and attacking are things we need to work on, and quickly.

We have 1 set move, and no idea how to beat a defence, very worrying.

I said walking away, potter is the right man. when we have a new 7, with new ideas, we will move on to the next level. people know how to play Saints at the moment.. wait til next year

anderson gave a world class team to potter, started off hot, potter has tightened the already tight defance but in attack oh dear whats the point in having all these skillfull players if you wont let them play.

i have noticed some teams hireing defance coachs we need one for the attack

well done Potter.A trophy less season and has turned us into a totally one dimensional team with no attacking ideas.We play in an image of his personality-dour and uninspiring.The guy is a loser and needs to be given the boot.

its not the not winning a cup that matters its fact that potter is potter isnt the man to lead saints, good coach for a lower team who just have the skil level to play one out rugby.

nice man but no thanks

Ive said from the outset that I never rated potter nor wanted him at saints, and I think his ability is reflected in the teams performances this his first season, he must learn the way we have played in the past or ship out in my opinion.
Millward was upbeat chirpy, cocky confident, and this did eventually reflect in the players, then came DA he personally was more subdued than IM, and almost dour, and this came through in the team we were rock solid, in defence but with both of these coaches we ATTACKED AND SCORED, now to me potter is like a cardboard cut, deadpan expressionless and for me totaly non descript and bland, this is now showing in the team totally devoid of attacking ideas and scoring ability, this has been reflected in the points that we have scored. I know a lot will dissagree but thats my opinion and for me personally unless he changes things a bit or hopefully gets the gooner im not going to travel 600 miles round trip plus hotel next season.
So yes for me I would like him out who do you bring in to be perfectly honest I HAVE NOT GOT A CLUE.

either that or he is not admitting the libary fine is massive since he hasn't finished reading it yet.
