| Postitive side is seeing how we cope without him
When people say, hes not the player he was
He was the best hooker in the world without doubt imo in his prime. I wouldnt expect any player to keep that up for too many years.
Hes still one of the best, and If he feels he has another year left in him. Thats good enough for me
LONG LIVE THE KING
Scott moore isnt gonna be a bad replacement though. Future looks bright For Saints.

What happens when/if he still feels that, but in reality he doesn't?
Almost all players [ithink[/i they can go on longer than they can performing at a high level.

If they can't beat us now, when can they?, with our current team i.e. starting hooker, both starting props, only centre and playmaking forward (and best tackler) injured and fullback carrying one. We should struggle against any team with that all at once.
If warrington can't beat us now they have not progressed under Smith at all.

Wrong anything can happen in just one game you judge progress over a period of say 10-15 games not just one, also those players out this weekend may well be back the week after.

I suppose Scully would be a good example of this,
But I think most people could agree, if KC wants another year, He deserves one?

Exactly. If KC wants one more year he should be offered one, albeit at a much reduced rate or a dual player/coach role.
For me the priority is getting Scott Moore established as Saints hooker. I take he's got a contract for next season? If he's not, I'd say it might be time to call a day on KC.

If the priority is in getting Moore established, keeping Cunningham effectively reduces the number of games Moore has to form an understanding with his team mates.
When we were semi-pro you could argue there was a place for sentiment in the sport. But fully-pro? Not a chance.
If we want to show our respect to Cunningham for all the great years he's helped us to - build a statue, or name a stand in the new stadium after him. Giving him the opportunity to become a shadow of his former self isn't respectful in any way.

Hopefully it will prove to be the same 'Smith factor' that served us so well in the world cup

Having him on the coaching staff would be a great idea - that way you dont lose his experience totally. We do need to serious think about having Scott Moore back in a Saints short next year or we run the massive risk of losing him.
