As a lifelong Bradford supporter I'd say Saints were lucky to have a Board that doen't take chances when it's clearly not working. If our Board had acted so decisively when it became clear that MacNamara wasn't up to the job we wouldn't have spent the last 4 years in the sort of mess we've been in. Everyone in the ground could see what was happening year after year and knew that a change of coach was the only answer but the Board couldn't - or wouldn't - see what was in front of their noses. Potter now has a huge task in front of him but at least we have spirit back in the team so we can only hope. Imagine if Saints knew that their current form would go on until 2016.....

I think Daniel Anderson will be the next Saints coach.

Might be wrong but why would Nathan Brown throw away all of the hard work he's done at Huddersfield to get them to this point where they are one of the top candidates for the Grand Final, then leave for a team and set up he doesn't know?

Money is the only reason, surely.

It would be like leaving Man U to take over at West Brom

Simmons spent the last decade as a defence coach, he was hardly going to be suited to St's style of play! The board need a good kicking for a very poor appointment.

It's such an important appointment for Saints that they shouldn't rush it. With the likes of Lomax, Gaskell and Makinson, they have the potential to form the nucleus of the team to build around for the next 10 years. But they are at a crucial point in their careers and a bad appointment that see's these players games not develop properly over the next 2 years and they may never end up reaching their potential.
I know some people don't like other club comparisons but at a similar stage in their careers McGuire and Burrow at Leeds had Tony Smith arrive in 2004 and they are still going strong 8 years later.

Steve Kearney may be available sooner rather than later.
He Coaches a "balanced" approach to the game.
