Lots of criticism towards the players and rightly so but Price is not immune from criticism.

Lost two finals last season, if we finish trophyless again this season is it time for him to go? His style is dated and boring, his signings have been a bit of a joke barring Austin and Charnley. I'm in no means a 'Steve Price OUT' advocate however, the club need to be ruthless and things, as they stand, are nowhere near good enough.

I think we're in a bit of a mess, maybe even at the top of the club there needs to be a change. No trophies since 2012 and yet we have the biggest resources in the league. Simply not good enough.

I'm interested to hear people's opinions on this.

Unfortunately, our rugby being served up at present is about as enterprising as it was in the last days of Smith when we had to battle in the relegation zone. Luckily, there are worse teams than us in the comp.

I'm not a fan of Justin Holbrook. He reminds me of a smug neighbour whose gardens are immaculately manicured whilst yours have amazonian swathes of weeds running riot.

[iHowever[/i, give him his due - he has learnt from last years mistakes. He has replaced an irritant (Barba) with a much steadier player (Coote) and he is rotating his squad very effectively, something he refused to do last year.

In contrast, Price is beginning to look terminally stubborn. Westwood, Livett, Patton and the style of play are all issues that need resolving.

Put down your fiddle Pricey, your empire is burning.

In his defence he pulled no punches last night even towards himself. Someone has pointed out that its a good time to have a blip. I'm under no illusions the squad is not good enough and Saints are miles ahead but let's see how Priew reacts now. If he doesn't change personnel and some tactics then we're in trouble.

If he doesn't sign at least one top drawer prop and a centre in the off season he should be sacked for gross misconduct!

Very very strange season. We have served up some terrible performances that are worthy of relegation, recently. Our creativity has been extremely lacking, and were making too many howlers of errors.

Yet, were still second in the table with a 4 point advantage and a points difference, that effectively, makes it 5.
Saints are still evens to win the grand final with Sky bet, feel free to lump on if you think the season is a one horse race.

Our pack has been beaten and it's the brilliance of Austin and Clark that have sneaked us wins we simply shouldn't have had.
We desperate for a prop because when we're without Hill and Cooper we are toast. We can win SL with as we are but we need to go discipline and injury free.

Even with Cooper and Hill we’ve put in some bang average performances but agree with some on here that thank god the teams below us have been just as inconsistent.Not sure if Saints are going further away or the rest of the teams are going backwards.

He’s been found out. He was a massive failure in the NRL and he’s heading in the same direction at Warrington. His recruitment has been poor and his style of rugby would put a glass eye to sleep. Getting to two finals last year masked what was a very average season for you and those two final performances were dreadful. I hope he stays for years.

Lol.
Love it.

But that's quite reserved pal compared to the stuff we're posting.

Shame it's too late for you to stand for leader of the Tory party. With your vision and perspicacity the country would be in the sunlit uplands in no time.

Price is aware of the lack of forward punch we have, and he's clearly looking at adding some aggression to the pack. We just missed out on Kenny Edwards and he's an aggressive hard hitting forward. And if rumours are true we're looking at George Burgess, Price knows we need a better forward pack. He's sorted the halves for next year, he's looking at the centres and the forwards for next year also , so i'm happy to wait to see what we do next year. We won't win anything this year on our current form, and next year Price will have built the Squad he wants so if next year is a failure then i'll start to judge Price.

The trouble is, he recruited both Lama Tasi and Jason Clark, neither of whom make decent yardage. So the lack of mongrel / go forward in our pack is down to him. When Charnley helps out, he shows far more determination and grit than either of those two and probably makes more ground as well.

Thing is, a coach should bring more to the table than just purchasing the right players. All good/top coaches train an effective style of play to suit the majority of the squad. Even with new signings, most of that squad will be with us.

Knowing our pack isn't the strongest or biggest, why have our tactics been one diminsional down the middle? Aside from entertainment value, crisp well-timed passing and alternative attacking structures are an integral part of a side's nal. Also, two of our strongest players in the squad are our wingers, yet they hardly see any quality attacking ball. Surely it's not that hard to set up a deep line with some dummy runners or a run-around to create some space for them? Other teams with supposed lesser players have managed it. While Patton hasn't been great, surely he could have been taught, alongside the other players, to set up some attacking moves by Price/Briers. It begs the question, what have the players been doing in training apart from keeping fit?

The chance of us winning something this year are very low now as we haven't seen any improvement in these areas, in fact it's plateaued/regressed from an already low point. Unfortunately, saints have moved considerably further ahead in the past 2 years rather than us close the gap. I worry that we could get a tonking in one or both of the finals if we get there.

The odd thing is that we were making far more chances at the start of the season, he doesn’t seem to have worked out an effective game plan to cover Ratchford’s absence.
