Erm, I didn't say he was rubbish. I said he was prone to making mistakes at the moment.

For me the responsibility for our present demise rests largely with our senior players; for example - Puletua dropping the ball with the tryline ahead of him; Perry giving away penalties at crucial moments; Wilkin kicking hopelessly and really doing precious little else in attack; Meli being thoroughly lazy; the forwards generally leaving the backs to act like forwards, etc, etc. Only Wello stepped up tonight. He had a blinder of a game. Shamed all the other senior players.

Wello was best player on the pitch by a mile.

^ I Agree.

I'd pay Royce off, put Cunningham as coach and keep Purtill as assistant.

I think Cunningham should be our coach too.

Pay Royce off and give Purtill a go, at least till the end of the season. At the moment Purtill is only coaching in line with what Simmons says and I suppose not giving any input or ideas of his own.

For me, KP has to go as well. He should shoulder as much blame as Royce.

Let's start fresh, two new coaches with fresh new ideas.

I think you've missed what I was saying. I maybe should have thrown a rhetorical questin in there.

I think we're in agreement. I am saying that the Saints fans were blaming Potter when things went wrong and now a lot are blaming Royce and yet no one is blaming a team with a poorly structure spine that has been carried by James Graham for some years.

Saints, as in Paul Wellens, Michael Shenton, Francis Meli, Lance Hohaia, 7. Jonny Lomax, 8. Josh Perry, 11. Tony Puletua, 12. Jon Wilkin, 13. Chris Flannery, 14. Anthony Laffranchi, 15. Mark Flanagan, 16. Paul Clough, 17. Gary Wheeler, 18. Shaun Magennis, 19. Andrew Dixon, 20. Lee Gaskell, 21. Tom Makinson, 22. Jamie Foster, 24. Nathan Ashe etc, are not good enough.

Not so much Royce Simmons.

Paul Wellens was outstanding tonight. The rest of our senior players, however, should be ashamed of themselves.

If you are saying there is a problem with Royce, which there isn't, why not reduce his power in the team?

Royce can be in charge of training schedule and half time talks etc (You can tell i have never been a coach) and bring someone else through the ranks, Cunnigham or Purtill, to do team selection etc.

Work a happy median until wins come and phase power back to Royce or don't

I thought so as well. He put his body on the line and never gave up.

Thought he could have done better on the kick thru for the try.

Prediction's for the Leeds game anyone? haha -_-

Purtill was doing all the talking at HT aswell, Royce stood in the corner hardly doing anything.
