There was nothing Potter could possibly have done. We were dead on our feet from the kick off, it's the lack of squad depth that is costing us, not the lack of ability or coaching he's getting at.

Lack of squad depth? What about the hundreds of world class youngsters coming through at Saints?

I heard that KC, Long and Pryce were absolutely rattled in Walkabout Edinburgh the night before.

Ade was dabbling in a bit of swinging and therefore was absolutely sh*gged and Jammer and Maurie were out with Briers.

Oh, and Potter has fallen out with everyone as someone stole the batteries from his megaphone and no one in the squad can hear him speak.

Halftime lasts aprox 15-20 mins.

Sky showed 1 min if that of our dressing room.

How the hell do we know what went on in the other 19 mins?

You heard that too?

The best half time performance that I've seen on Sky has to be by Justin Morgan. I think it was at Knowsley Road when we were beating Hull KR last season? I think that's when it was. But it was hilarious to watch.

The thing that really gets me with Potter is that when we lose, he just simply says 'the better side won on the day'. This may be correct, but as a fan i want to know why we didn't perform, what went wrong, or even some reassurance that they are going to work on things that went wrong. Just something more than the better side won on the day. He doesn't seem very enthusiastic.

I'd like him to tell us why we don't start games well!!

We start so slow. We don't seem up for it

I think this quote from the Saints website is an example of what you say:

'Their kicking game was better than us,” he continued, “and a couple of players came up with a couple of errors with is uncharacteristic of them.'

We knew this already although I do think the 'couple of players' and 'couple of errors' were a couple of understatements! I preferred Daniel Anderson's approach. He wasn't political but straight up without dissing the players publically (which I don't believe a coach should do).

Well there is a contradiction in there surely?
