I'd strongly advise you Saints fans to stick together here as numerous Rhinos fans wanted shut of Brian Mac last season, but look how our season panned out

Keep the faith guys, as i could envisage Saints again making the GF and even winning it

I second that. So gutted. I honestly thought we was going to win tonight. God help us next Sunday! & The two weeks after that.

Player coach?

The thing is though you had reason to start poorly. Key players in McGuire and Peacock missing from the start of the season for a number of weeks along with others. We didn't have that excuse, until the last couple of games we've been virtually fully fit.

Maybe.

We are desperate and we need a scrum half now!

Really fed up now. 4 defeats in a row. Play Leeds on Sunday followed by Warrington & Wigan. 3 words - God Help Us.

Just saying..

I don't think it will come to that tbh at least not to that extent! I do agree that there are major concerns, I'm not so sure sacking Royce will provide a solution because I believe it is the players that are letting us (& themselves) down not necessarily the coaching, however sport will always look for an individual scapegoat and it may come to that over the next 3 games.

I'm not even going to get my hopes up for the next 3 games. Had my hopes up for tonights game & look what happened. Honestly thought they was going to improve alot tonight.

Totally shocked by that. Certainly the worst Saints performance I can remember seeing. You even managed to make Bradford look half decent!

I would have thought you have way too much class not to turn it round pretty soon though...just hope it's not next week

Or a Noble, Long Partnership, Noble to run defence, Long to run attack. Although I'm not sure if they would get along.

Leave noble where he is, we need a tough well respected coach that will organise the team fast and I think DA is the man.

DA can keep the seat warm for brown but IMO the saints job is going to be a tough slog for next few years as the squad is a total mess.

DA said there's no chance of a SL return. He said he's happy in Australia ''/

I can dream!

No one talking about sacking Royce has come back with a viable alternative available mid season.

The reality is we stick with him to see if he can turn things around. If he cant, he goes at the end of the season, and we bring in a replacement.

No need to panic. Its not like we can get relegated.

This is where McManus will be tested on how good a Chief Exec he is. It is a lot easier to run a club when your team is winning trophies and getting to finals. The real skill is when you get a bad run and the work you do behind the scenes supporting your Coach and his players so that [sizethey[/size can get things back on track and start winning games again.

In truth all you club is going through is a bad spell, all teams go though it and how McManus deals with this bad spell will shape the rest of your season. Sacking Royce Simmons is not the answer to your current difficulties & would further put back your return to the top 4 of Super League.

Wigan pitch looked good today.
