Surely that makes DA a weaker coach than Potter then?



DA: Strong side, looking unbeatable during regular season. Bottle GF's.

Potter: Weak side, struggle for form during regular season. Push Leeds all the way in GF.

But lets face it, if I had coached that Saints side, do you think they would have failed to make the GF?



We had no real challenge in the play offs. Huddersfield's season finished on Challenge Cup final day and Wigoon weren't up to much.



The side Potter has isn't that much weaker than those Anderson had. He's one or two men down in terms of the squad, but the 17 we put out at the weekend was as good.

Shut your hole you.



It's true, I'm not Potters greatest fan after this season, but [ieveryone[/i knew that this time would come... where the squad is getting older and we are having the same transitition period that Wigan had in 2005 -2006. No matter who came in after DA, he was going to get stick if we didn't start winning things immediately.

I just think it's a little early to be calling for his head.

I'm with you there.

Tony Smith seems to have noticed as well.

I think the outcome of the season was clear for everyone. But what I didn't expect was the nature of the failure this season. The [iway [/iwe played.

I see where you are coming from, but on the other hand, I think... considering how badly we have been playing (especially since August) getting to the GF and putting up a good fight, was an achievement in itself.

True, for any other club it is. But for that squad not winning anything is an underachievement IMO. Losing to Huddersfield in the semi destroyed the belief the club had in itself. It all went downhill after that.

I agree, I think that the CCSF was the turning point for us this year, but hopefully it's just a blip. Next season we need to keep blooding the youngsters, and hopefully Potter will get us playing expansive rugby again....

I would have no issue if we won nothing for a season or two, so long as we are bringing kids into the squad and actually looking like we are putting some effort in, imo we need the foundations of the squad rebuilding, and now is the time to do it.

He has helped coach the Saints out of Saints and now with the lack of pace in the side you can't win big games. It's a sorry state of affairs for the team that was once the most entertaining side to watch in the sport.

Got to agree with the boring rugby, because it has been, i left more games early this season than i have done in the whole time ive been going to knowsley road, which is 28 years or so. Im not bothered about winning anything, i like the trophies to be shared around, but i want entertaing for my money and time, and i haven`t been this season unfortunately. Weather or not that is potters fault, i don`t know. I think its time wheeler got a run at stand off, i watched him play as an amateur and haven`t seen many better, i would consider putting pryce at full back, he played there for us a few seasons ago for a couple of games, he reads the game better from behind the line and gets more time to get going, would then have to consider giving wellens a go at loose forward if this happened. Just my thoughts.

well done for adopting an attitude Leeds took in 2001! You're only 8 years on the uptake!

I was Reading interview with potter other day, he was saying that he would have liked longy to stay.



He also said a lot of saints players have steeped contracts meaning that players wages rise each year.



He went on to say that from outside we don't seem to be signing players or giving players new deals but current players wages still going up.
