I stand corrected and they fully deserved to win Super League.'" we had won 10 from 12 games when you posted that crap! It was sour grapes due to your own poor form! but far do's for admitting you were wrong. |

Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. (Winston Churchill):d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40218.jpg |

| Quote: Carlos Alberto "His remit this season has been to play it up the middle. '"
How do you know?
Quote: Carlos Alberto "Why? Because we have no pace outwide, yet we cannot just replace the wingmen as we cannot afford to release them from their contracts and if no one else is interested in taking up their contracts then I am afraid we have to make do. '"
We have the same team as last season, bar Talau. Why should our wingers suddenly become such a problem that we can't pass to them anymore?
Quote: Carlos Alberto "Potter wants us to revert to the side that throws the ball around left, right and centre, '"
How do you know this?
Quote: Carlos Alberto "but until we blood the kids sufficiently to be confident enough to do this, the club will use it's primary weapon, that being the pack.'"
Our pack is our primary weapon? You could have fooled me on Saturday night! Only the first version of it functioned. Leeds were all over us when Hargreaves and Fas were on.
Quote: Carlos Alberto "I think we're getting a bit over-emotional in our thoughts of his legacy. Fair enough, we won the CC every year he was here, but we also failed in the GF more times than we won it under him, yet he is held up as some kind of wunderkind coach, the 2006 season apart.'"
We may well have won it this year under Anderson had he stayed, but he went, so we will never know and he will always be remembered as the coach who oversaw two losses to one win. But he also helped us through one WCC, three Challenge Cups and four league leaders shields. That is probably why some fans are getting a bit 'over-emotional' about him. He also appeared to care about the club. Potter speaks about the team and the club and the fans in the third person, which is alienating. So it isn't just Anderson the coach who is remembered with fondness but also the person passionate about his rugby and who appeared to care about the club. I really miss his weekly articles in the Star, for example, and seeing him walk about with his shades on even when it was dark.
Quote: Carlos Alberto "the same people would still be posting the same threads on he condemning Potter for being a different person to our last coach.'"
I disagree. I think those people would instead be thinking thank God for that and they might be more willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I know that's how I would be feeling, anyway! As it is, Meli et al made their cockups and we were so clueless in attack that I knew we wouldn't score tries in response after that video ref decision. A year ago I wouldn't have thought that. I didn't think that; I still thought we had a chance up to the hooter because we had an attack and we were always capable of coming back. |

tbh without Jarryd Hayne they wouldn't have even been there, DA or not.

I think Anderson was a good coach for you but I also think Potter has been really unlucky with the injuries you've had, and some other players experiencing some poor form at times. I don't think it's a case of you were going great at one point 'because they were still playing DA's way' rather that some of the injuries and form dips hadn't set in at that point. I also think being without Cayless or a suitable replacement really held you back.

This is RL - not Top Trumps. You don't win by feverishly scanning a list of attributes with absolute values in search of the one which will give you a victory over a particular opponent 100% of the time.
Saints have a great pack. Arguably the best in SL. But that doesn't mean it can't be defeated by an equal or lesser strength one with sufficient motivation. After all - ability is nothing without application. |

No I wasn't, the 'you' in the second paragraph was at the wider audience, sorry for the confusion. |

I think potter 1st aim when he took the Catalan job was to bring through some French players to cut down on all the Aussies.
I think I read in Potters last year they had something like 65% of the squad that was French which is pretty good as they made playoffs that year.
I don't think we will see youth coming through at Catalan for another few years yet.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Next season they are running a team in the reserve (U20's) comp. |

Wasn't he youth coach prior to taking on the Catalans job? I can't remember exactly, but he did something good with youth in Oz.

I think it will take a while before we see the French produce any young lads that are up to super league level.
Setting up a good youth system takes time. |
