Coincidentally, they're both playing very well at the moment.

off to the dark side maybe ?

Or desperate to stay with Saints?

Pryce came in for some stick last year which i thought was a tad ott. He was on fire for the first half of the year and even being talked as man of steel. His off field problems seem to affect him on the pitch.

He has started this year very very well and to be fair been pretty good in all his time at saints apart from 2nd half of last season.

Maurie couldn't get going last year with injuries which effects his form. It was one niggle after another for maurie who needs games to get his match fitness up.

I agree that it was over the top with Pryce last season, however, he just didn't perform well enough and the fact of the matter is, that when Pryce is firing, then it usually means that Saints are. Last season, i think that one of the main reasons that we hit a big dip in form in the second half of the season. Take last night for example, it was no coincidence that when Pryce went off, we struggled and Crusaders started to hit back. Pryce is a key man in our team, and its important that he hits form.

At the start of the season, i thought he had continued were he left off, against Hull we was pretty poor (from what i could see), however, last night i thought he was clearly man of the match and its massive for us to keep him fit and playing well.

I think Flannery is out of contract. He signed a 3 and half year deal in the 2007 season. That takes him to the end of 2010 ?

2011

How ? He joined mid season in the 2007 campaign. Thats half a season.

He then completed the 2008, 2009 and this year will be 2010. Thats a 3 and a half year contract complete isent it ?

Clough is out of contract as well.

Cheers for that Cloughy, get him resigned Big Mac.

Which players do we know are 100% off contract at end of 2010 ?

Potter

Now that is going to be good to see what happens. IMO he don't seem to fit in at saints. He's prob a good coach but not for saints.

We should be looking now if we going to get shut, next year is big year for the club.

I like Kear and Morgan but no chance of landing them.

Also could some former players be in the frame? Scully Keiron etc?

Id love to see morgan at saints, he just looks the part and would fit in well. Kear is ok but not for me.

Scully should be on the coaching staff being groomed for the job.

So far this season, i think Potter has been OK if i'm being honest. We seem to be playing much more attacking, and he's also spoke out a few times and had a bit of a go at the referees, which i didn't think he had in him! Definatly better than last year, but we'll see.

Morgan isn't beyond the realms of possibility. He's always been positive about us during his media work (Which is excellent). He's also a coach that would be a great fit at St Helens, he has personality and charisma and could certainly get the desire back, both on the field and on the terraces. He's also taken KR as far as he can.

Morgan is a media whore who doubles as a RL coach.
Kear would be a massive coup, a motivator with a vast amount of knowledge of the game, something according to posters on this forum seem to think Potter lacks.

Kear > Morgan

Ande you talk sense.

Either way whoever comes in next i would love KC to be assistant to put the pride back in the shirt!

Similar to what the pies do with their assistant, someone who knows what it is like to wear the shirt!

Yeah great! I mean it's worked wonders with the pies for years hasent it ?

We had an ex Saint as assistant for the previous three years.


The now assistant referred to in saintyicks post has led Wigan to two reserve Grand Final victories as reserve team coach in the last two years.

I'm talking about the last 12 years ?

Murrayfield 2002

And when did Saints last have an ex Saints player in charge and win anything?

Which is exactly my point! Saintyicker pointed out that it would be great have a ex Saints player as assistant. What does that win you ?

It's about the right man for the job, not if his a Saints legend or not.
