We thought we were and that was the problem.
However, with a scoreline like the one we ended up we clearly weren't comfortable and clearly we haven't learned the lessons from the Dragons game. All that saved us today was the lack of try conversions by Widnes.

| Why would he have regrets about coming to a quality team with a better youth set up than Huddersfield when he joined there and already challenging for the big time? He is taking over a team at the same level as the one he has produced at Huddersfield so it should be easier for him to take us further! with his eye for talent and obvious talents as a coach not to mention his ability to attract quality NRL players (Luke O'Donnell, Todd Carney) i'll be surprised if we're not champions again within 3 years.

| Brown is a proper rugby coach and knows how to get his team organised. I could listen to him talk rugby all day which is a improvement on our last two who could send a insomniac to sleep.
He's just what we need and can't wait for him to bring the good times back.

| I thought Brown looked a little worse for wear today. Certainly looks to have lost even more hair since being announced as Saints boss.
Good point St Pete.
I just hope he curbs some of his bad habits when he joins Saints, I'm sick of the SKY camera's panning to him only to show him spitting on the terraces.

Brown had lost hair before the start of the season, not since he agreed to take over at saints. (have you seen wane going thin)
Do I sense a little fear?
The is no doubting brown is a top class super league coach and I'd put money on Wigan going for him if he'd been available.
Brown IMO is a McGuire style coach.

They're both certainly from the same school of thought. Wrestle, wrestle,wrestle!!!! I presume we'll see a change of heart and opinion from many of the posters on here who despised Madge's style, once Saints begin playing it under Brown.

| He may be a top class super league boss but plays a style of rugby that's almost identical to that of Maguire's first year. Slow down the play the ball, three in the tackle and the like, given the complains from Saint's fans about the style of rugby Wigan played. What are your thoughts on picking up that style next year?

And I'm certain IF we do start with wrestling tactics there'll be a change of heart from Goon fans too ....

I for one have always thought McGuire was a very very good coach and Wigan still seeing the benefits of his time as Wigan coach now.
Both MM and Brown are smart coaches that are willing to do what it takes to win. I'm not a big fan of the holding down as it makes for a worse game of rugby league but I blame the ref for not blowing up.
If a team can get away with it, then good luck to them.

| Don't like it but it's in the rules and all the other successful teams do it so why not. Let's be clear, nobody wants to see slow, lazy wrestling techniques around the ruck being rewarded. We all want to see a quick, exciting game, or at least I'd hope we do. But the current rules allow, encourage and reward laziness around the ruck so we're only cutting our nose off to spite our face by not following suit.
Our stubborn refusal to play that way - or at least our inconsistent execution of it - is one of the major reasons why teams get such a ridiculous roll on over us like Catalans at LP and Widnes tonight.
Bring on the defensive drudgery. As long as its partnered with offensive flair, of course!

Like I've just said, I'm not a big fan for spoiling the game with consistent holding down at the play the ball but it's the refs I blame not the team.
Ive always been a fan of mm in the way his team are organised and well drilled.

That's the bit I'm not looking forward to.
Oh, and the bit about bottling it in the playoffs (we at least get to bottle it in the Grand Final) and the bit about going back to Australia at some point every season.
