Good squad strength at start of season

Conceded over 100 points in first 4 games.

Consistently under using the match 17

Why exactly did we sign Hohia?

Note not Simmons out, but ....he's under pressure surely?

The points conceded are a concern, but it's too early to say the coach is under pressure.

I'm just starting the debate.

I can see a developing squad at Saints that looks up there with the 2006 last GF winning team. But have we got the coach?

[quote="G1":1x8x7ghm]Nice one Andy. You articulated a differing opinion given reasons and substance. There's really no place for the likes of you on Substandard. :wink:[/quote:1x8x7ghm]:7098.jpg



This is the sort of thread I'd expect from clueless Leeds fans. The guy has taken you to a Grand Final already, which many would say you were unlucky to lose (Shenton and Wellens injuries), has integrated a whole host of young players into your squad, many in key positions and has seemingly coped well with the losses of the likes of KC and Graham.

You won't be the only good side to be beaten by a very good Catalans side this year either

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 think the worry is where we that good in the first half or where catalans that poor?

It seams we can play great but not play for the full 80.


Best team? It was hardly a shoddy line up, we can argue a couple of players but the majority of that team where our best.

what have leeds got to do with saints losing. All in all for a neutral iy=t was a good game spoiled by a weak referee, but he was not biased.

It's an internet forum it's going to happen.

In the end most Saints fans have no problem with Royce and there will be no pushing him out, we don't sack coaches before the end of contract unless they are disciplinary.

My major concern is the back on the bench. I think Royce has shown he is flexible enough to move big name players to the bench or to the non-playing squad.

The rugby we play is sterile to say the least.If you analyse our tries,most start within 30 metres of the opposition's line on the back of penalties.How many times did we break the line tonight?Simmons reign will end the same as Potter's-trophyless.
