Not a chance Saints are finished, Long was still one of their better players and will carry on for another year. Last month it was sack Noble, this month we're the next force in SL.
We're definately building to a good finish this year, we'll be stronger still in 2010. |

Anyone noticed at half time when the cameras went to the changing rooms.Potter was standing in the corner like he wasnt interested or even wanted to be there.

If you didn't know the score you'dve thought Noble was the one trying to rally his team at half time. Potter did nothing. |

Didnt look like a coach in control of his team did it. |

I think it is a bit early to say that it is the end of an era but Peter Snow's swing-ometer would be showing a swing to the right just now but not quite indicating a full election victory quite yet. We have won a significant by-election but not quite back in power with a safe majority. But after supporting Wigan for over 40 years I really believe that things are on the upturn. Lets hope Saints continue to hang on to their ageing stars.

That said, Saints were well off-beam. You can't help wondering if all the pre-match chat about how crap the Magic Weekend is might have distracted them a little.
I've also heard rumours that Potter doesn't see eye-to-eye with several senior Saints players. Whether this is his fault or their fault, who knows, but it could be causing problems in the camp.
In 94, Wigan continued to underpeform until they finally stopped listening to John Dorahy, at which point they creamed the rest of the league. I doubt Potter's anything like as bad as Dorahy, so a player revolt might be more difficult to organise. Which, from our POV, is surely a good thing.
Fair comments, but I also think that as well as us being off beam, you didn't let us play. The tactics employed were spot on, and the large majority of your forwards were outstanding and it was a well deserved win.
I havent heard anything about problems with Potter, however when your 24-6 down to your local rivals and he is stood at the door saying nothing it doesnt really inspire confidence.

We've looked half cocked in attack for since the beginning of the season. We clicked against Leeds and Cas away. Each time I've thought that we might kick on but it's not really happened. Even against you men during Easter we only really clicked for 10-20 minutes going forward, unfortunately for you that day we were matching you in defence.
This weekend we didn't, you had a gameplan that was implemented well by the players with hard work, you worked a damn sight harder than we did and reaped the rewards, I mean we didn't even put that defensice powerhouse that is Tim Smith under any pressure. |

We dominated the game from start to finish, Noble deserves total praise for that gameplan.
As for Potter - Surely not trouble at club?

Don't wet yourself too early, you've won one, we've lost one, doesn't mean we're finished. |
