| Never going to happen for Rush. He wants to be in a job not in the casino role of coach.

Dunno , I think it can be addictive , once your in control and it's going well who would want to give it up?

| He doesn't want the job, you can see on Sky how uncomfortable he is when the cameras are on him.
It's also far too early to judge them, we've not seen how the coaching gurus will cope when our current plan A, which is working spectacularly doesn't work. We've changed how we play the game under these two, arguably going way back to Millward's attacking plays. Last week and tonight were an all out assault on the ruck area and teams aren't coping with it. Plenty of dummy runners in attack to confuse the defensive line and a swarming defense.
Brilliant tactics and playing the way that suits our players. We were dominant in the pack again tonight in the spells that mattered.

Thing is its' not really a plan A or B, were just doing the basics really well, running hard, dummy runners etc etc . We look to be playing with freedom rather than a rigid structure
Not sure where wello has found the extra yard of pace from though ...

It's to early to judge rush and KC yet but very very impressive what they have done in two weeks.
The main thing they have done IMO, they have put that grit back into the lads. The defence in the second half was like the saints of old and then going up the other end and sia getting over.
Typical of saints to give late try away tho!

Probably is a bit soon but I'm just enjoying th way we are playing at the moment, we look like Saints !!
Mike Rush is a bit reluctant but so is Guardiola at Barca and he's not doing a bad job

Rush made a comment in the interview about Ajax, Barcelona playing football their way, and that he wants Saints to play rugby their way.......

| I think there's been a combination of thing leading to our improvement over the last two games
i) As Robes said in his post match interview after Royce was sacked the lads had to take a good look in the mirror and admit they were desperately underperforming.
ii) The whole team have hit match fitness including Perry who, whilst still a few pounds over weight for me, has had a good two games.
iii) We've played two of the 'Big 3' and raised our game accordingly.
iv) We've had a largely settled squad/line up with no random chopping and changing for the sake of it.
v) Success and positivity breeds more of the same.
and the big one for me
vi) Urgency. We've not been the sluggish, slow and ruck dominated team we were for the first few weeks, we've been quick in the ruck in attack and defence and our line speed has been massively better than it was, our support running has been excellent too whereas in the opening games we had no options left or right when we broke tackles. Our 'lighter' more athletic pack have helped in this area too.
