My own view re coaches is that you can tell what they bring to the team by the attitude of the players in DEFENCE.
As such i rate Anderson highly as he made us into a very tough nut to crack.
Similarly if you look at what Mcguire has done at Wigan and what Tony Smith has done with the teams he has coached you always get the BIG D.
When you have players of the quality that Saints do possess then its pretty easy for them to play attacking RL.
Where the coaching comes in is building the iron mentality of fighting for every inch.
I have not seen this from either Potter or Simmons teams.
Simmons teams in particular have been cruely exposed against the superior organisation of Wigan and Wire.
As a result we have found ourselves smashed off the park, before coming back from a late rally, as the opposition takes the foot off the pedal due to knowing they have our number.
Some Saints fans then have fallen for this thinking it shows we are in the games, but the reality is that its no different than when we play lower standard teams, get up a big lead and then end up winning a match 40-20 with most of our points being scored in the first half.
