Sacking is not always the best option though. Simmons has been having a tough time, but he's proven more as a coach than Cunningham, whats to say Cunningham won't do worse?

When we sacked Macca and St Hilaire took over, we saw no improvement.

Think Saints have jumped the gun a bit (admittedly I don't see them on a week to week basis) as Simmons did ok last season. Roby is integral to that Saints side. Think Saints rely on him more than any other club rely on a player in the league (think only Sinfield comes close) so to be without him plus LMS, Soliola etc you are going to struggle.

Roby is apparently back for this Sunday's game. If not Sunday he's definitely back for Wire. We will just have to see if there is any improvement come Sunday. Alot of people knew it was coming though. 5 games without a win.

Good. He's a player that even opposition fans can enjoy to watch.

Yeah Roby's a top guy. Hope lyon will be coming to us next year to.

read that on NRL news, something about manly needing more cap space and wanting to keep cherry-evans and letting lyon go as they seem CV as a replacement

Pitty i cant talk about patients at my hospital as it is where all the saint players go lol, they have a contract with them or something

Lyons a quality player but will be 31 at the start of next season and probably won't come cheap. Would still be a great signing though.

Funny Saints now have full faith in Rush and Cunningham. Seem to remember them saying the same about Simmons, but a few injuries and bad losses and he's gone.

In that logic we should be bottom and potter would have been, long gone lol.

Seems like the saints players didnt seem to care on sat and it showed similar to bradford when we played wigan & catalan at start of the season, bulls players have more heart now and seem to be trying something i havent seen in a while

Eamonn McManus said that he has got every faith in Rush & Cunningham. They each know the club inside out and have all the experience together to move us forward. I've always liked Cunningham - He's a top guy & a Saints legend never to be forgotten. Could never say a bad word about him.

bet some wigan fans could think of some

I don't care what other fans have to say about him tbh lol. He's a legend to me & always will be. I knew the sacking was coming anyway. It'll be interesting to see how we play against Leeds on Sunday.

Some clearly cared. Foster certainly cared - but was guilty of trying too hard (except when watching bouncing balls... ) and had a 'mare instead. And Wellens played out of his skin and carried the team - superb effort.

But Saints on Saturday looked so much like Bulls over the last couple of years. And, like we were, a team that from its heights has suffered death by a thousand cuts. Lets see if getting shot of the coach gives them the rejuvenation so you often see?

A shadow of their former selves you mean

Indeed. As we have been for much of the last few years.

Said something similar about Simmons though.



Do think he should have been given more time. If Rush and Cunningham do as bad or worse, they won't be sacked as Rush is only caretaker and Cunninghams a Saints legend.
