I think the fact that Potter isn't a clueless coach tells us that he'll only be played there in an emergency.

Hmm. This is the same Potter who played a 20 year old at centre in a Grand Final when he had never previously played centre, it was his first Grand Final and he had been out of commission for three weeks? Or the same Potter who dropped a good defensive winger but retained the poorer one, giving Wigan a two try start? Or the same Potter who changed our lineup three times in the playoffs, one time just to facilitate a crocked player he was happy to bring back too early? If you want someone who is utterly clueless in terms of his lineups, interchanges and tactics (except when playing Warrington), you'll be happy with Potter.
However, he will integrate your youth into the first team. He can do that.

25852_1297892995.jpg You've stolen my washing
From out my back garden
You've tarmacked my driveway
Even though I said no
You've nicked my lead flashing
And weighed it in at the scrappy
Oh St Helen's tatters
Come rob me again:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_25852.jpg |

| There seemed to be more than enough Saints fans willing to tell any Bulls fans at OT last night that this is a done deal!
Another rumour without substance, maybe, but it's all too coincidental to me....

If Potter can get us to second in the table and to the grand final despite injuries to key players, only to lose by 12 points, I'll be happy with that next year!

Indeed. I wonder what miracle Potter was meant to perform to overcome a superb Wigan side with Saints missing both chief playmakers.

It wouldn't matter if you had Wallace Arnold or Wayne Bennett as coach, you'd still choke.
St Helens, official Super League chokers.
Perhaps you should hire Brian Smith.

Great. You will have made progress. He did the same kind of thing with the Dragons.
However, he is not a good coach of an already successful team. He has dismantled us and put us back together all wrong. You can think what you like about getting to second and all that (we nicked it by 2 points, remember, in the dying seconds of our very last match of the season), but he's ruined us in the process. You may like the barge up the middle boring style of rugby without being able to defend for peanuts, but Saints fans don't. We'd rather miss the Grand Final completely next year and just enjoy a season of entertaining rugby. God knows we've been starved of it the last two years.

Well we must come from different planets then, because I think winning trophies is [imarginally[/i more important than good rugby.

On what basis.
The last 4 years tells me otherwise.
Unless you factor in the Jon Wilkin show pony mid season interruption cup. Which none of us actually care about BTW

| Getting back OT -
I have had info from 2 sources very well placed in the Pryce camp, but they are clearly conflicting:
1. Leon is def returning to the Bulls next season (with Karl heading to Crusaders).
2. Leon is is staying where he is and is actually looking at extending his contract at Saints to the end of 2013.
Knowing how close these contacts are to the Pryce inner circle obviously 1 of them is involved (maybe unwittingly) in some disinformation. Maybe they both are and he's of to the Whinos

| Both within the realms of logic.
Not sure Rhinos would require or want him.

Why would you be.
Orford meanwhile is in discussions with Rochdale Hornets.

And we're in talks to sign Elvis and Lord Lucan to play at 6 and 7
And that's from the horse's mouth. The horse in question being Shergar
