And bring noble home bofore he signs for leeds or hull...


Think About it, potters only here 1 more yr anyway and most of the team is OOC for next yr

Now is the time if were gunna do it while the crowds are still here

One thing thats sticks in the mind watching sky supermen interview... noble said his philosophy was is he big, can he run, has he good hands... this is what we need NOW

He also said hes looking to get back into the game

I'd have signed Noble anyway but it seems like Hood has an axe to grind with him or something.

I'd give Potter until Round 10 of next year. He is just 'testing' players out this year hence the 1 year deals in order to build for 2012/2013. If results carry on and we finish 10th or lower then get rid.

Wait for it!!!!

Come back Macca all is forgiven (lol)

Am i on the Saints board

No.

New gaffers deserve time and chance to work with their new team.

What a stupid thread!

Given the OP, I think your comment is redundant.

Don't be silly.

It ain't looking good at the moment but the task was enormous.

NO dont be daft.

The dispays against Huddersfield and Salford were the worst I have seen from the Bulls in super league. Itis obvious that the team is lacking in confidence, that Lynch, although a decent player is no motivator as a captain and needs replacing, and that Potter appears to be floundering. If we produce a similar result next week against Leeds then I think he should go. Either bring in Noble or a good Australian.

Oh no, last night was crap but there has been worse!!!

NO.

Can someone ban this troll, he's an embarrassment.

I would have thought its Mr Caisley thats the problem there !

Potter isn't the issue here. He's already proved he's a decent coach, he doesn't suddenly become clueless once he arrives at Odsal. The issue we have is the players themselves.

MP needed to recruit a large number of players due to the paper thin squad he inherited. As a result he has had to spread the cap thinly and recruit a large bunch of average players, rather than simply making two or three additions of any real quality.

The problem for me is in the halfs, two unproven players thrown in at the deep end

Herbert aint up to it, and wont be here next year... whilst briggs is a good player thats not up to speed yet

It's the players that are at fault. Potter's record speaks for itself. You can say that about many of our players too but in a negative sense!

I'm sure Potter was the master puppeteer yesterday and dropping the boys off tackles, or that's what you'd think!

Of course we shouldn't get rid, he's proven he's a top coach elsewhere and will do so at Bradford.

how does potter's record speak for itself then?
what's he ever done?........ok we got to the grand final again last year..(only to lose again)..but that was daniel andersons team potter inherited.
we lost games last season against teams thats never beaten us for years.
nobby noble would fit in well again with you lot...don't think mick (i'm a happy chap and full of personality) potter is your answer.

Apart from taking Catalan from wooden spooners to third place?

We are in more similar of a place to the Catalan situation than the Saints situation Potter took on.

so you reckon potter will take you up to 3rd place then?

No, sarcy. I reckon the club will be in a better place when he leaves though. I aren't aiming to win SL this, or next year. I'm looking for steady improvement, with our excellent juniors flourishing, like they did at Saints.

sarcy?...lol.....i'm not having a go here i just think brian noble would have fit right back in the place he came from and the players would probally prefare to play for him other than potter.

Unlike my fellow Saints fan, I don't actually want to put Bradford fans off Potter. Not because I like Potter - I don't, and I'm glad he is no longer at Saints - but because I'm fond of Bradford fans. I've always found them to be really friendly when I've visited Odsal, good banter, and those who survived Millward have always been good for a chat when visiting Knowsley Road.

But with Potter be prepared for bulked up, tired players and some whacky personnel choices.
