All part of the plan.

after getting pumped by Saints 1st game of the season we'll have:

"I'm proud of the lads. We're doing it tough at the minute with us injuries and I cant fault their commitment but the injuries aren't helping the cause. I'm not happy with some of those decisions there either. I've never seen decisions like that before in my life, I've no idea what that was about but it needs looking at. We're struggling with injuries so the lads have to compete on the back foot from the start as it it is then they have to compete against against decisions like that an all.

We have loads of injuries, the ref made loads of mistakes and it's not our fault. It's not my fault either, certainly not. It never is. There's loads of stuff going on in the game at the minute that means it's not my fault. I'm proud of the lads though.

...

It's not my fault.

Thanks Jenna."

You know what, it would not surprise me if it goes 1 of two ways, its either a massive success, or he gets the furner treatment and doesn't see the year out

If he improves on Price's first season, he'll be a success cos we will have won a trophy. Although winning the Cup and finishing 10th in the league as Smith did in his first year would probably see him sacked, wouldn't it?

At the rate our new signings are dropping its likely that many of the youngsters could be getting regular games.

Mata'autia will be a nervous wreck waiting for his injury to be allocated to him. If I was Powell i'd rest him for the remainder of the season and make him a bubble wrap suit to wear until our pre season starts. Otherwise we just start next season a significantly weaker side than this season!

Ah, smiths first season was 2010.

Can't blame most of 2009 on him, thats lowes pre season

I’m continuing the days till Sally tells us how we should have stuck with TS.
His case does get stronger every season since.
