You're right, of course. But for an all St Helens coaching team, St Helens chairman (and a St Helens captain!) to endorse our current playing style is sacrilegious. You'd think they'd understand as well as any fan...
Both Wello's and Eamon's programme columns made me laugh as well. McManus clearly actually believes this squad is capable of winning trophies and that it was Royce's fault we didn't.
Wello on the other hand used his column to try and justify his contract extension. He mentioned Warrington's old guard of Briers, Morley and Hodgson getting new deals and hinted that there are no talented players available anywhere in the world so why not keep them? He so closely paraphrased a couple of people on here that I'm convinced that one of the pro-Wellens camp on here is actually Paul himself, all I need to do now is work out which one.
I can't wait to read Eamon's programme notes at the start of next season if we've still not signed a halfback, a prop or sorted the fullback spots out. He'll no doubt pay hommage to Wello's scintilating attacking prowess and call him the best fullback in the world like he did earlier in the year. Meanwhile the ambitious clubs will share the trophies and we'll no doubt sack Nathan Brown before the end of his second year.
