Any one of those Roosters players would be an excellent acquisition for any SL side mate. Can't argue with any of that though. I hate seeing us like this. However if we go back a couple of weeks, we turned Huddersfield over comfortably and things looked positive. I think we're going to be frustratingly inconsistent for a couple of seasons at least.

I had not seen the game on TV, so did not want to comment.



I thought KC spoke well, he is not there to give impartial commentary on the game.

He is there as the Saints coach and he is there to manage the team.



Last year he made a huge mistake in mine and most peoples opinion by speaking honestly about the team and individuals and picking them out on air rather than keeping it in the dressing room.

It's 2 games into the season and his job is to motivate the team for SL.



Also comparing a 60 second talk on the field to in depth analysis of 3 set plays by the opposing coach is ridiculous.



Of course trent robinson spoke more eloquently, he was treated in a completely different fashion. The only way to compare them is to give them equal treatment.



Personally I'd rather Cunningham come out with positives on TV and keep professional, rather than just shooting his mouth off about player who under-performed and maybe low on confidence after a second bruising defeat.



To me it was a lesson learned and showed he is developing more as a coach, of course if he had come out and lambasted certain players of course the internet crowd would be equally critical of him for not protecting his players and acting as fan rather than a coach.



In the actual 10 seconds of his analysis he concentrated on the middles who did their job, which I thought they did and others on here have stated the same. As opposed to saying the backs lacked attacking threat he credited the Roosters for having excellent backs.



You can go one of two ways be positive of be negative, I would rather he took the positive approach than just put down players who will already be feeling down after a heavy defeat and will be getting it in the neck from 'fans' on the internet.

WHOA there boy. You,ve contradicted the sad one and st. pete. Thats a hanging offence you know.

Brian Mac not happy with performance and said the score reflected the game.



Shaun Wane said wasn't happy with the score and super league miles behind nrl.



KC said he was proud of his players and things didn't go our way.



I know which two are telling the truth and being honest with themselves.

Which of the 3 UK coaches produced the closest result?

Well, out of the 3 embarrassing games for Super League, Saints margin of defeat was less than Wigan and Leeds. It's nothing to be proud of getting battered 'the least' but it's a fact.



Nobody is calling for Wane or Mac to be sacked.



When I came on this board after the Huddersfield win, I didn't see anyone calling for KC to be sacked. And I know the rugby's boring. It was boring last season. I'll argue that it was boring under Brown, even when we won the league it was boring but effective rugby against adversity. We haven't been great to watch for years, it's not just something that's happened under KC. He's simply inherited it and it's not an overnight fix, we can't just go out and blow a load of money on a Newlove or Sculthorpe anymore. He can only use what he's being given so quite clearly by looking at the recruitment, it's for the future...it's to grow a team.

Exactly. KC is not there to tell the truth, he is there to manage St Helens. He can tell the players what he likes away from the camera but for everyone he is proud and thought it could have gone differently.

But it makes him look daft...?!



I don't mind him trying to take positives from the game but he was just clearly wrong

Post-match interviews are nothing more than theatre. 90% of the questions asked you can predict before the interviewer opens his mouth. 98% of the responses to those questions you can predict TO THE SYLLABLE.



If the post-match interview ever had any relevance it drained away years ago. The whole thing is an empty charade which serves only to fill an additional five minutes of programming. The questions you most want asked (i.e. tough ones) never are whilst those you already know the answer to carry on repeating.



Occasionally you get the odd player or coach who goes off script. But such rarities aren't worth the time invested listening to rote answers, cliches, daft questions ("How do you feel after this win?" etc. etc.) and incomprehensible gibberish.

Nobody's asking him to bag players or the team but to be honest. He looked like a clown making them comments.



Wane and Brian mac didn't bag players or the team but they was honest.

"I-rre-gard-less"

Take each game as it comes ...
