In my opinion Nathan Brown has been a fantastic coach for the club and I thank him, wholeheartedly, for everything he has done. Agreed! How anyone can say they will remember him for the 40 odd point drubbings we had is crazy as I'll remember him for the grand final win against our biggest rivals in a game nobody give us a chance with!

We didn't this season so hopefully we wont next either, especially if Walsh is allowed the freedom of the pitch in the way he was during 2014. With Burns playing for us we should certainly see some feisty rugby!

not according to you we wont with cunningham in charge!....

Quote me where I said that. That's right, you can't. I just referred to how we played in 2012. And everyone at the time, including people on here, all agreed that we were very boring in 2012.

Last word on Nathan Brown from me - I'm glad he's gone.

Last word on Cunningham from me in this thread - I've got real reservations but I hope he turns out well.

There's no pleasing you is there! Just stop being so bloody negative all the time.

he's just another coach and that he has played for us before won't matter one iota if I have to pay to watch 40 point drubbings!

what does this mean then?............. .......

Re: Kieron New Coach : Wed Oct 22, 2014 8:58 am  

In 2013, I was one of the loudest on Brown getting sacked. He won me over during 2014, however, before the 2014 play offs started, right off the back of defeats to Wire & Giants, how many of us truly would have liked Brown still be in charge for the 2015 season?

I felt that Brown did a brilliant job at Saints, but that we were maybe just one step short of fulfilling our full potential. What I mean by that, is that although we are SL champions, we did it ugly, without playmakers, with a fair few losses and some of them were quite humiliating too. And we still truly haven't created that aura of invincibility at LP. Some teams like Wire still fancy themselves to come away with a win with a decent winning margin too.

Brown took us as far has he could (and over achieved in the end). I truly believe Cunningham can take us that next level. That, being a team were we are feared, play entertaining rugby with a never say die attitude EVERY game and not when we feel like it.

It's never just 'another 2 points'.

I think one of the worse coaching debut's was Ian Millward if I remember rightly was Leeds 70 Saints 0 and he inherited a good team where Browny had to rebuild one and Cunningham needs to take it one step further.
