Does one loss really equate to needing to bring a consultant in. I'm not sure whether the game is good for the health of the good Dr. Surely he has had racehorses that don't win. He's lost contracts to better competitors. I just don't get that 2 games in it needs a big shift. Saints lost badly to Warrington last year but yet we won the league and the GF.
In the end Saints are shaping up for a WCC on Sunday.
It's not beyond the imagination that Saints would be at a level above that of Salford. It's no reason to hit the panic button.
Saints have had success at all levels of the game consistently for 20 years. Salford have been a shambles. I think Koucash has realised that it's not just about throwing money at players and hoping they click, you need to build a solid infrastructure at all levels for the TEAM to be successful. I think that's one of the reasons he brought Harris in, Harris was the assistant at Wigan and was one of the people whom helped implement the attacking structure at Wigan, and he may have also been able to help develop Salford's academy.
Having said all that I don't think he's bringing Sheens here to offer guidance, he's bringing him here to see if he'd be interested in the job. I mean, Harris and Noble have both been in the game a long time so you have to think they'd know something about building a successful club, so I'm not entirely sure what Sheens could suggest that Vievers, Noble and Harris haven't.
