Kieran - we were never back in the game. We were just, to a man, pitifully awful. We are just a potentially mid table team which is being coached badly.'"
Keiran has obviously enlisted the services of a quack motivaitional positivity tellyvangelist of the "i can and i will, im a winner"variety.
I wouldnt take anything from those comments,your eyes dont decieve you fans dont boo without good reason we were appalling.
Watch a half of rugby league played by warrington or widnes and compare .......enough said.

| I nearly choked when Keiron used "PHENOMENAL" as a description of Saints in the first half? was he watching the same game? his tactics seem wrong, he does not seem right, interviewed on TV just before kick off in a stupid wooly hat, when you watch his face sat in the stand, would he inspire you? and the stupid over sized head phones, what role does Sean Long play I wonder?
Someone says that Wigan were bad, well I feel their young players put 200% more effort in, there seems little style with Saints play as I said after the match the only tactic is kicking high into the corner, so many players seem flat, some of the forwards go to the ground in tackles like a bag of potatoes, something is wrong, some of the wins have not been the best, neither was last season if we are truthful.

| We really need a couple of hammerings in the next couple of games starting with a 50-0 loss at Widnes as a blessing in disguise. We are stuck in a coaching rut, KC and his headphones are pushed forward like a set of blinkers, I just wonder how much longer McManus will allow the demise of the club to go on with nothing looking positive on the horizon.

From the way KC talks, he thinks he's some sort of coach guru and thinks he's clever.
I agree with his post match interview tho this week

Wigan are a far better Club than us from top to bottom at the moment. A very measured Chairman and a coach who has found a way to get his players to give 100% ALL the time. Wigan's playing structures are basic but effective.
We have massive issues. Massive.
Our Chairman needs to step back and learn some humility instead of coming out with his bombastic and legalistic ramblings the minute anyone dares to challenge anything. The stadium is nice - thanks Eamonn - but cut the rubbish that's playing in it and sort the place out. Starting with your CEO.
Then that sorting needs to start with getting an experienced coach in rather than the cheap option of the old boys Club. If he can't see what every other Saints fan can see then he no longer has the right to call himself a Chairman.
For me the buck stops with him and I'm tired of his arrogance.

| What spoke volumes for me yesterday was the pristine white shirt of Jon Wilkin at the end of the game

He kicks so doesn't have to take tackle. Sure he's trying to get union to come in for him with all this kicking he does

| Even then, they seemed to take an age to give it! I can understand a bit of hesitation, though, it can't possibly be that easy, can it? Watching it back again just now on Wigan TV, yes, it can!
Like NK, I wasn't confident going into the game either, but reckoned without such a dismal showing from Saints. And, to be fair, our back five were all pretty decent (Manfredi obviously especially so), and our attack is improving week on week.

| I don't think I've ever been as annoyed coming out of a league match. I haven't seen us be comprehensively outplayed like that for a long time...especially by a team as forgiving as Wigan were on the day. I have no idea how they were only two scores better than us on the scoreboard!
It was a proper miserable performance all round and I'd be here all day trying to put all my thoughts in one post.
My overriding feeling is that Cunningham is on the brink. He appears to be out of his depth and it's not like he hasn't been given time. His tactics are inept, his signings not fit for purpose and his team selection/squad management has been questionable.
With a lot of players off contract at the end of this year, I don't have confidence in his ability to rebuild this squad.
A tough decision for McManus coming up I feel...

I think he'll back KC mate. That contract extension was massive. IMO that's him giving KC the nod to rebuild a team for next season and beyond. I can imagine that'll have unsettled a few of the lads as well. A few of them will know they're on their way out.
I feel that McManus will be satisfied with a top 4 finish and a decent cup run. And given that teams in the top 4 often lose a 1/3 or more of their games, this will be an achievable aim for Saints even with an inexperienced coach and a style of rugby that's on a par in entertainment value as a Sunday afternoon trip to IKEA with the missus.
