Agreed,the only way a director of rugby would works as if Rads leaves his role after all he brings the players in etc as we know.

When Waney was coach everyone was screaming to bring in an attack coach, I think the opposite applies now I would like to see Waney come back as assistant to AL purely as a defence coach. Don't think for one minute he would accept that if offered to him though.

I’m not sure I could disagree with that last paragraph any more than I do.
Every club, in every sport changes their head coach at some point. In the vast majority of cases, they build a team around them according to their strengths. Shaun Wane had Deacon and Harris to help improve our attack. He brought in Charlie Hodgson to improve our kicking etc.
I have no doubts that Lammy is the right man to lead us from the top and part of that is trusting him to build the coaching team as well as the paying team.

Using your philosophy, no club would ever need assistant coaches!

I don’t think a director of rugby would be a slight on Lam, it would more be a pointer to the work Kris Rads is doing on recruitment and retention, as that is surely a role any director of rugby would take on. I’ve said above that our first job has to be to look at our recruitment for 2020, because as things stand the squad looks like it could be in a shambolic state for next season unless major moves are made and things like retirements are put to bed soon (and not at the end of the year).

Maybe they want a director of rugby to work on that now but if they do then they need to get him in pronto.

What an idiot!

On the Smith discussion we don’t need him.

We just need a good coach. Wether it be Lam I’m not sure.

If we win today we are 4 points off top 4. We the injuries and off field issues has Lam done such a bad job?

You really need to stop this pathetic trolling, mate.

The fact that Saints fans were nowhere in sight on here until Wigan started losing only makes you look more of a berk.

Instead of p***ing about hiring a director of rugby or a defence coach why don’t they spend that money where we really need it, which is on players, forwards especially.

Agreed. Surely you get more bang for your buck on thew pitch? That is what fans pay to see, after all.

Or maybe a marketing director who would actually get us more fans and revenue to spend on players?

Well, yeah, but I don't see why we should need to go to the expense of hiring someone new for that; it ought to be the responsibility of someone already at the club.

We could do better than a big game choker like smith

The guy responsible left the club and replaced by someone I believe with nominal experience of heading up a marketing department as well as his other role in the club. Part of the cutbacks at the club together with reducing the playing wage bill
