On the plus side I think that Saints are looking far fitter than they were under KC. Give Holebrook a full pre season and we will see a far better Saints side.

I'm looking forward to see what Justin Holbrook can do with this team next year. I'm pretty disappointed he's not brought and attacking plays in since he arrived, it's been pretty much te same poor rugby we had with KC.

I know it's tough coming into a poor team lacking confidence but I would like to have seen him add something to our attack.

Maybe he's just finding his feet at the moment and sizing up the players

I think we are seeing more quicker passing plays to the edges in attack but a lot of it is sideways movement at the moment, we've not seen much attack with set plays most of it is off the cuff stuff. Maybe Holbrook is seeing some difficulty in setting things up with Smith in the side and is working on Fages to put some creativity back into the team.
Since Holbrook has come in it seems Roby is playing with his head up a bit more and doing a few more scoots, to be honest we don't really know if Holbrook is going to be any good and is just making small changes which the fans are probably not seeing as anything significant.
