You know I wish they still had the ignore button on these forums.

Has anyone heard if we are in talks with potter to stay?



Will he want to stay? He wasn't jumping out of his seat to get the job in the first place.



IMO I honestly think he's doing a good job with what's available. Would Anderson and basil do a better job with our squad? I think not.

I don't recall Anderson or basil having the likes of foster, wheeler, Moore, eastmond, dixon, ashurst, clough all in the team(apart when basil rests the whole team at Easter or before cc final), so we should give potter a big pat on the back.



The only thing that worries me over potter is the constant stories of players not happy with him, don't like his training etc. If these stories are true the sir mc got to make a big choice.

Had Anderson had the injuries we've had since Potter came on board, he would have had no choice but to have the likes of Moore, Dixon, etc playing. Anyway, didn't Eastmond, Wheeler and Moore get their debuts under Anderson?

Shh, don't confuse facts with the gospel accoring to Pete.

Moore got his debut under Millward.

Ok. I wasn't sure about Moore. But I know Wheeler and Eastmond had their debuts under Anderson. What about Matty Smith and Ste Tyrer? I seem to think they had their debuts under Anderson but I might have my timeframes muddle up again.

in all seriousness it may be very interesting come the close season! bratfud will be looking for a new coach. fartown will maybe? be looking for a new coach. harlequins may well be looking for a new coach? and saints too hmm...





my tip to replace potter is john kear. i.m.o a very good coach knows rugby league inside out and he wouldn't turn the opportunity down twice i dont think!

And what's that mean?

I think you've missed the point I'm trying to make, potter has no choice but to pick young lads. Wheeler is our 1st choice centre, eastmond is our 1st choice scrumhalf, scot Moore and Paul clough is in our 1st choice 17 every week and likes of dixon and ashurst are just on brink of regular 17 squad of players.



Anderson didn't even pick fozzard and vinnie Anderson when they was in there pomp in our grand final and challenge cup 17!



No doubts about it, basil and Anderson had far better squad of players than potter.



And ski, that is the gospel of pete or to you it's st pete

To a degree I agree with you but (a) you didn't seem to be saying that in your previous post (you seemed to be saying that neither Basil nor Anderson had integrated youngsters), and (b) Anderson only really had a better squad in 2006. He made a better job performance wise of what he had than Potter has (so far anyway) and he didn't have the injuries from 2006 to 2008 that we have had since Potter arrived.

Basil didn't like bringing in youngsters, when we had injuries he brought in 2nd rate crap like whittle, southern, DES Clarke and few others. He could have give the kids a go but maybe he felt they wasn't ready which is fair enough.



At no point in any post have I said Anderson didn't bring the kids in, to be honest he didn't need to as our squad was very very good.



Think you've got wrong end of the stick again as (a) I never said Anderson didn't bring kids thru (b) I think Anderson is much better coach than potter and basil yet you seem to think I don't rate Anderson.

April Fools was last month pal.
