We'd probably make more off LMS than we would of gate receipts at the rate both are going. |

Amazing to think how people can say they want KC to coach the team when if he is coaching the forwards he cant even make that work.
Can't do one thing right? Ah give him the lot, he'll be fine.
Mental.

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

I do wonder if we are too clingy to the old guard.
For a team that needs fresh ideas having so many old heads knocking about, does concern me. It's one thing to be a great player, another to be a great coach.

Quite, KC is clearly not doing a great job with our forwards.
I still think we should send Perry, Lafranchi and Lance to rochdale till they decide they want to play for us |

Wellens in discussion with EMcM regarding a coaching position also. It won't be as sprint coach.
It's difficult for any new ideas to propagate in the midst of an old boys association.
Potter , Royce and now Brown are finding that. |

Doesn't sound like anything is going to change in the near future then either.

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.
Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.:Dwarfs, Gnomes, Halflings/GNOME2.JPG |

Yep, of all the past legends Longy was deemed to be the better bet as a potential superleague coach.
Maybe he gets in trouble with the Wigoons tries his hand at Widnes then Saints sign him up.

I can see it now:
Paul Wellens; Goal kicking coach, speed coach
Francis Meli; Backs coach
Josh Perry; Forwards Coach
Tony Puletua; Halfbacks Coach
Gary Wheeler; Fitness and Conditioning

| Quote: Judder Man "Came very close to cutting up my season ticket up last night more in anger rather than frustration or dissapointment.
Far too many games this year were the players attitude is the worse I,ve seen since I,ve supporting the saints over the decades.
All the players with the exception of Walmsley, Thompson and Gardner couldn,t be bothered last night.
If they don,t show any passion for the saints shirt and keep coming up with this can,t be bothered attitude then Ill pack in and watch amateur rugby instead.'"
You sound exactly like me when Bulls lost at home to Warrington under McTomato - total humiliation and no effort. I did cut up my season ticket and did not return until Hood and co disappeared. Unfortunately - as history showed - the damage was deep and long lasting. At least 3000 others did the same and like me - find other things to do - but rarely go back. This represents a huge revenue loss to a club and leads to a cycle of decline as quality players cost money to retain and attract.
Would not wish this on any fan - as we have no control or influence on any of it. You have three choices - turn up, pay up and shout, don't turn up and quit - or invest all your money and become a director.. Not good eh?
Must admit - I never expected to see this stuff happening at Saints - you can only hope you have a better Captain than Bulls did! |
