The answer to your first question is no. In 2012, our 6 and 7 where Hohaia and Lomax. So you got that one wrong!!!

Our wingers where Meli and Gardner initially. As the season went on Makinson came in and played well so kept his place in the side.

We had Wello at FB and our starting props where Laffranchi and Perry. We had Clough, Flannery and Puletua playing too.

Compare that with Amor and Walmsley as starting props. A quick and exciting back 3 of Lomax, Makinson and Swift. A half-back combo of Burns and Walsh (two actual half-backs). The potential of Percival. The youth and energy of the likes of Thompson, Richards and Greenwood (to name just three).

The side has been transformed from 2012. KC (if he does get the job) has a different team to coach.

No more suggestions that Brown was sacked, comments which could be seen as libel are against the AUP.

The fact of the matter is he had to go home because of a family illness. How would you like it if a family illness required you to leave your job and people then started spreading rumours that you had been sacked? You wouldn't so keep your conspiracy theories to yourself please, any more will be.

Fantastic mate. Well said.

I truly can't believe some people are so petty that they can't accept being wrong and instead start to spout things about he was always going.

He was here for 3 years. Unforeseen circumstances meant he had to go home this year. This was already agreed. Then a job pops up at home and he applies. Well so would everyone else. Does not stop the fact he was already going anyway. He does not get the job, then his dad lets it slip a week before the GF. Saints can either deny or admit it or keep quiet. The only option is to be open as anything else would be a disaster.

I'm sure Brown would have preferred to have stayed, failing that he would have preferred to have left only announcing it after the GF. The club did well to keep it as quiet as they did for as long as they did.

But Jess you can't deny the man got results. His recruitment was top notch.
His bringing through of youth has been excellent, so we were inconsistent, so was every other team in the league. And they were a damn sight more inconstant than us.

Brown is the most successful Saints coach in years yet some don't like him because he's not their cup of tea. Well whoop de do.

Get over yourselves. I did not like Potter, but I could see where he was trying to go and you support the team, the coach and the club. Go ask your favourite players next time you go to a forum what they thought of him and I'm pretty sure you will get a positive response, but that will still not change people with a closed mind.

Watched the game for five minutes & could cause an argument in an empty room. Some embarrassing posts on this thread.

It's just a crazy old bitter women who can get over the fact that Royce Simmons was a total disaster and set the club back years as I predicted at the time.
