Lol

Yes you pooh poohed my suggestion of a punt on Michael Monaghan after our second Loss (and I've never once suggested Lee Briers BTW).




Well we never slid down the table as we couldnt slide any lower, but we got worse and stayed bottom and are only off the bottom by points difference, we drew to a team at home that Salford put fifty odd past away.

oh how you must have laughed at Salford when they got rid of Super Aussie coach Tim Sheens for an ex player with little coaching experience....????

get yourself onto redvee.net and have look at their poll ...the saints fans favourite for the job is David Fairleigh.....some ex player assistant i'm guessing...

Fairleigh has had a long apprenticeship now doing 15 years on the coaching staff of various clubs in the NRL so he might be a good shout.

The best rugby I have seen us play and winning Challenge Cups. The stuff of dreams. But then the demise started as Smith could not assemble a team as good as the one he inherited. The great players went and were not replaced. I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion of how important the League Leaders Shield is. The club don't seem to think our 2016 achievement worthy enough to put on the official website. https://warringtonwolves.com/wolves-her ... b-honours/ Why not outline what you remember of our great successes in 2013/2014/2015?

It's a poison chalice...
KC has said there was no money available to him.

Lets hope saints dont swoop in and take John Kear from right under our noses.

Or Brian Noble!!

; )

Tony Smith has come out in support of KFC...surprisingly he's not in favour of sacking coaches... www.sthelensreporter.co.uk/sport ... -1-8488321

Yeah, I was only teasing...I do think the time was right for KFC to leave, though, despite what Smith says.

I agree that it was probably time for him to go, his apprenticeship wasn't long enough to take on the top job at Saints.

I know they are above us in the league and I've defended Smith when quite a few have called for his head on here maybe the solution for both was to see how the season panned out unless of course they have a top replacement lined up?

I did wonder why Smith felt the need to say anything, it is not our business and he doesn't have a wider remit to justify commenting.
Perhaps he was feeling a bit itchy that a coach, with a team ahead of us in the league, got the boot for poor performance.

or perhaps its topical news, and he got asked about it during media this week?
