So who's looking forward to play Leeds at Langtree park on Sunday then? I can honestly say i'm not looking forward to it one bit.

I am! Hopefully it could be the final nail in the coffin for Simmons and KC can be the inspiration to kick start our year as stand in coach.

I wish i could say i was looking forward to it. Is Roby back this Sunday or is he only back for Wire?

Looking forward to it to see how the saints players handle it.................sink or swim.

i'm excited about it.

Its a real test of character for both players and fans.

We need to dig deep and back the lads.

I fear however that if things dont go right from the off people will be on the players backs giving them hell.

Ditto:
Fans need to man up and spur the lads on.

It's alright us getting behind them but if it doesn't provoke a reaction we could be staring down the barrel of complete humiliation.

I'll be there cheering the lads on on Sunday.

I think robes will be fit for Sunday.

Yep. If people don't want to back the team at this time, when it's most needed, just put a lid on it and moan about it at home after the match. The club needs our support.

It will be interesting to see how they play this Sunday now that Simmons has been sacked. I'm behind the lads 100%. I go every home & away game to get behind the lads & cheer them on. COYS.

I'm excited, things can only get better. A new age beckons.

The time for moaning is past. COYS.

If there's one team other than ours who i'd NEVER write off it's your mob and with Roby returning you will play a lot better than you did at Odslum.
We've been well beaten far too many times away at ST's to take anything for granted and it wasn't long ago you did us at Headingley in the cup with half a team missing and Wilkin at 6.
I think we'll win but i'm taking nothing for granted and i doubt our team will.

Good honest post

On what do you base that?

Our worst form for 20 years. Odds are it will get better.

Win, lose or draw. Doesn't matter as I am a Saint and I always will be. Now is when the bitching and the moaning stops and for every single man, woman and child that supports this club to get behind the boys on Sunday and show them we will not back down, we will not be denied and that we are St Helens RFC and we have are here to win!

Hope you do win, just predicted you beat leeds and that is before you sacked your coach.

I do find lectures boring. I always preferred workshops at Uni

That we're currently sh**.

I suspect if Keiron Cunningham can't motivate your team then there's probably few that can.
In Simmon's defence it looks like Graham's absence has severely weakened your pack...much more than I imagined it would.
That together with Roby's absence left a pretty demoralised team lacking go forward amongst the pack and without the zip that Roby and Lomax provide for the backs.
IMO there's still too much quality there for you to stay in such a lowly position. Leeds last year should be the inspiration.
They proved that over the course of a long season quality will shine through.
The most obvious example is Foster, who must have played his worst game ever in your colours. I rate the kid and doubt if he will play that badly again.

Just hoping that Leeds don't suffer the backlash from this week's events. Would rather you play well against us and lose...giving you just enough confidence to beat Warrington and Wigan in the following weeks.

Hopefully on Sunday we will get back to playing "The Saints Way", let's hope the players are unleashed and go out in a positive manner. 15000 roaring saints fans might help as well to get us over this difficult period, so make sure we back the players 100% to kickstart the season.

If Rush can inject some structure to the attack and KC some of his never say die attitude, we could do well. In any case Leeds will have a hard job, no point watching a video as itll be all change

And so you think employing two inexperienced coaches (Rush inexperienced at first team level, and has Cunningham got his badges yet?) instead of a coach who has seen it all, has worked with young players in the heat of battle, who got us to a GF last year in spite of all the upheaval with injuries and change of location, you think that is going to stop us from being 'sh**'?

Yeah, course it is! It's going to give our halves and wingers years of experience all of a sudden; it's going to turn us into a wonder team, all conquering, just in time to plough Leeds into the ground on Sunday.

We now have inexperienced players AND inexperienced coaches. That really excites me. Not.
