Mick Potter's interview on the replay of the game tonight is quite sleep inducing. I cannot understand how a guy who has been a professional rugby league player in the media frenzy that is the NRL and coached professionally for years is that nervous and timid in front of the camera.

I suggest that Mick's job is to coach the players, so therefore we should nominate a more colourful personality to handle the post game interviews, like a lot of the Premier Leagues with pre-madonna managers do.

Maybe this wouldn't be a problem if everyone wasn't so irrationally and ridiculously obsessed with coaches. Potter and John Dixon are by far the two coaches that I respect the most in Super League.

Mike Phelan isn't colourful at all.

And Noble for what he's done to the goons

I would rather have a coach that can do the job that is important and lead the team on to success than one who can put on an act in front of the cameras but behind the scenes is struggling.

Yes having both would be nice but if not possible then give me on the field success any day.

As for getting someone else to do the post match interview - would they be able to give the same sort of insight into things as the Coach can? ( I don't watch football so can't comment on how it works for that)

Old Taggart's nose is a shade of red though.

DA started out in very similar style. I think once he builds a rapport with eddie and stevo he`ll be fine.

Tell me that was deliberate, please! Madonna was never a manager was she?

No but there were managers before her.

Empty vessels make most sound!

DA wasn't exactly Mr Charisma either.

IM had great charisma, but was taking the team no-where.

Who cares about the iinterview? Is what he gets the team to do on the pitch that counts

I care. I pay good money to be entertained. Having a good who looks like he is about to be shot put through the torture of a TV interview made for uncomfortable viewing.

There must be someone in the Saints camp who could take his place?

Appleton!

You.

I thought IM used to come across pretty smarmy most of the time

Ive no problem with him being a quiet chap,a one to one interview will be better than listening to questions through earphones as well.Look at James lowes 'i cant hear you,can you hear me?you what? its mad down here'.I'd rather him be like he is and win than do Randy Savage impressions and win nowt OOOOOOHHH YEAH!!

Ooohhhhhhhhhhhh Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !


hahaha can you imagine that, having a nice chat and then he finishes off with a "can i just say hello to my family at home on oz and a bog oooooooooohhhhhhhh yeahhhhhh to my son "

You're not serious, surely?

I just thought he was quiet but then he's just staring at a camera with someone twittering in his ears. It must take some getting used to and I would guess he wasn't interviewed much at Catalans by Sky since they pretty much never went over there (and anyway would [iyou[/i want Stevo's voice in your ears like that? )

Give the man some space. DA was dour and monosyllabic when he first came to Saints. At least Potter is articulate and he smiles and looks like a friendly bloke.
