Yup, fully agree.

It's also the reason that I can't really understand why there is a clamour to put him in the halves myself. He's not shown anything to me to suggest he'd change anything.

He does seem to have lowered our expectation and getting ready to wave the white flag.

McManus has to shoulder the blame for this terrible performances as well. I don't know anybody who thought giving KC the job was the right thing to do. Nearly everyone said he's not experienced enough and that's showing big time.


I just wish he'd have explained to KC its to early and give it another 2/3 years and you'll be ready. I don't think it helps having an inexperienced coaching staff with him

Leeds made the same error with Powell, gave him the top job too early and then took it away too early. Powell has gone on to prove he is a top coach at Cass. Maybe before Saints throw KC overboard they should consider bringing in a mentor as director of Rugby to help him develop as a coach? Either Smith might fit that bill.

We need to get this bloke in (not Clarke) during off season to look at our coaching set up and advise accordingly:- www.skysports.com/rugby-league/n ... erspective

BIB, I disagree. He would never have managed to get as much out of the players we had as Tony Smith did. At that time, Powell simply didn't have 'it'.
