In my opinion he,s doing a better job with our annual injury crisis than Potter and Simmons.

Really? Then how come under those two we got to the semi final of the Challenge Cup but this time we have been kicked out at the first hurdle? AND we are sliding down the league, something we weren't doing with either of the coaches you mention by this time of the season.

The slide was started under those coaches.

I'm sure someone will be able to dig up the respective teams. But I'm almost 100% certain that in neither Potter or Royce's teams for the CC, did we play with no halves.

The lack of halves comes from the offloading of Long, Smith, Pryce, Ellis, Eastmond, Gaskell. Gaskell is the only one that can be laid at brown feet. But basically the silverwear was sold before he got here.

We played with two rookies under Simmons. I can't remember what we played under Potter.

At least Brown could have introduced a rookie six (we have two hanging around) when he got shot of Gaskell. But he hasn't even done that.

The making or breaking of Nathan brown as a coach will be if he can rebuild a strong sthelens side within his three years

I agree but he will need backing to do it , this policy of rely mainly on youth will just not deliver results. We need to have a balance and I suspect we may have to spend some cash.

I'm not sure this team is in the right state to throw a young 6 in, it would be like throwing a lamb to the slaughter.

Don't worry, you've got the mandatory win against us coming up in May.

Seriously though, you should be almost guaranteed a top 4 finish now.
