I'd hardly call a 10 point margin a stuffing. It was not Saint's best performance this season, but one bad result hardly means that Potter is a poor coach.

I read into it that he was too busy rolling about laughing to be able to do a press conference.

BBC Radio Manchester RL commentary team have just stated that Mick Potter has turned down the Bogsal job leaving "Quins Brian McDermott" Bogsal's no 1 target...........

It's not looking good is it....

With Nathan Brown now staying put at Huddersfield is Paul Anderson now a candidate?

hope not....great player in his day though

im still hoping Steve Folkes is a candidate .....looking very unlikley now though because his name has not been mentioned for a while

Bogsal? How old are you, about 10? That's almost as bad as people who call Huddersfield's ground the "Gaypharm".




Anderson signed a new 2 year deal so I doubt it. I would still expect Anderson to take over from Brown after next season.

According to my sources the new coach will be announced this week. We should know by Wednesday!

I know every set of fans' problems are all relative, but to see saints fans demanding potter to be sacked just for the fact that they aren't winning every match they play is a bit much when we're in the catastrophic position we're in right now.
God knows how they would react if they ever found themselves stuck with no cash, spending way below the cap limit, with a completely average squad missing the only creative influence through long term injury and falling short of a playoff place for the second year running.

Saints forum looking rather like we saw on here 3-4 years ago then, when so many of our fans and "fans" reacted just the same way?

I`ve heard through the grapevine that Macca gets the push tomorrow to let him concentrate on the England job. Not sure how reliable the source is.

Indeed, and so far as I can recall, the new coach's name hasn't been mentioned on here

If it does turn out to be a name not mentioned so far then the board have pulled a blinder in keeping it quiet. AFAIK every current SL coach/assistant has bee mentioned and a fair few aussies. So that would leave either an unknown aussie or a NL1 coach (obviously not millward,cullen or harrison as theyve been mentioned).

Is that like reading tea leaves, just with your chips?

He means me. I am not a tea leaf. Although I did once accidentally leave Mother Hubbard's without paying for a big fish and chip supper

Francis Cummings as the new Bulls head coach, he is after a head coaches job after all www.therhinos.co.uk/news/14431.php

Quote ="bewildered"Francis Cummings as the new Bulls head coach, he is after a head coaches job after all www.therhinos.co.uk/news/14431.php'" I know the post was probably slightly tongue in cheek, but the timing of that worries me that it may not be far off the mark. It's often the case that a club announces someone is leaving, when they know that someone else is due to announce their appointment/signing within a day or two. (Same as why Huddersfield announced Brett Hodgson was leaving, shortly before Warrington announced they'd signed him). I'll wait with anticipation for the announcement from the Bulls now.

Indeed, but if the new coach really isn't Potter or McDermott then the club has really done one hell of a job keeping it under wraps (I know this has been said before, but I thought it deserved saying again in the circumstances).

Still, shouldn't be too long to wait now before we find out.

Royce Simmons anyone?

going to saints

maninga wants out

So popular rumour has it.

Alex Manninger or Mal Meninga?

cummins specifically says he doesnt have a post to go to, so if we announced him a day or two later his credibility is blown out of water straight away. One thing that has occured to me is that combine this with mcdermotts non appearance at quins press conference on friday and it may be case that mcdermott is leaving quins (either to us or elsewhere) and cummins is being lined up as his replacement.
Other possibility that springs to mind is that mcdermott is coming to us and bringing one of cummins/poching as his assistant. Worked together before so maybe a possibility.

Wish board would just get their finger out and make the announcement now.

mal meninga

if simmons is going to saints then i doubt we will be getting steve folkes ( as much as it would be a good appointment ) because i dont think wests tigers can afford to loose 2 backroom staff with another planning to leave to another nrl club

As I have said before, anyone who has every been party to negotiations, especially delicate ones, will understand why the Board can make an announcement only when they are in a position to. Its unlikely to be anything to do with "getting their fingers out", no matter how impatient you and others might be!
