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.

if that is the case, then his hands are tied!!!

yadda yadda!

am i wrong?

I wasn't into RL 8 years ago, thus I have no idea what Leeds, or indeed Saints were doing around that time.

forgot you were dossing around down south back then, you glory fan!

But that doesn't mean he should try and make Saints play in the way Catalans did. Catalans are a bunch of big blokes, the culture is different and the skill sets are different. Saints have always played flowing, open attacking rugby league and an awful lot of Saints fans are missing that because that is the reason we watch them. Potter has undoubtedly snuffed us out so far as our attack is concerned. Not only did that render us useless on Saturday night after Meli's almighty balls ups but it also means week after week we are enduring the most boring rugby most fans can remember Saints playing and why should fans endure that when even a year ago we knew how to pass a ball out wide and score a try?



I get the impression people at Catalans thought the world of Potter. Fair enough. But just because a coach does well with one team it cannot be assumed that he will do equally well with another.



So far as the OP is concerned and Slick Mick speaking in the third person about Saints, he has done that consistently and it sends a clear signal to many fans that he really doesn't want to be here. For many, the feeling is mutual.

Have you not thought that perhaps the lack of pace/leg/energy after aging players have worked hard all season has forced saints up the middle in the latter stages of the season? I saw no complaints when you knocked Leeds out of the Challenge Cup







That cannot be assumed, but to come into a team that was not his, stamp his mark on it, and get a team to 3rd in the league shows a talent for coaching, be it at Saints, Catalans, Wigan or Leeds







Who would you have instead?



I wouldn't blame him for not wanting to be at Saints, for starters the fans haven't given him a chance to stamp his mark on the team! what a merry bunch you all are, you can't even get behind your team in a Grand Final Semi-Final. Even the Wigan away fans outsung you.

We were still playing Anderson's rugby back then. We were wonderful in that match.





And there you have it. Potter has now stamped his mark upon the team. And we have the most boring Saints side in God knows how long. Saints are not Catalans. Surely you can appreciate that point? But he is approaching them in the same way. Wrong, wrong, wrong.





I have no idea who is available but he would probably have to be cheap since our chairman has made it abundantly clear that at present the wallet has a padlock on it.

Where do people get this idea from that Catalans where boring ? They always played off the cuff under Potter from what i seen!

exactly, it suits SaintsFans agenda to assume that, but they didn't!
