Q:so what did potter do well
A: moved to Bradford .... Lol

Ade couldn't think of anything good to say, but he did say he gave the most boring half time team talks.

KC on potter was pretty funny too

You're naughty, you. We'll get the Potter Was Wonderful brigade on here soon!

It was clear from his interview with the press pre-season that Ade wasn't unhappy to see Mr P leave these shores. I wonder if Ade has forgiven him yet for not letting him play in the last game at Knowsley Road?

KC gave a great example of a potter half time team talk, players come in winning38-0 against quins and Potters idea of motivation? He told them they were only winning because of the referee.... Awesome. It was pretty clear they didn't think much of him.

Shows how neglected the on field stuff has been. Potter clearly never wanted to be at Saints and his performance seems to have reflected that. We need a proper coach. Royce's replacement is a big appointment, they need to get it right.

If you're using Ade Gardner's personal understanding of rugby league as a barometer to assess coaching performance you're on dodgy ground lol.

Everyone, not just The Arrow from Barrow, knows that Mick Potter is the worse coach that has ever held a position in rugby league.
He never did anything for saints. Anything that was acheived was down to the players or the board, whilst anything that we fell short on was solely down to Potter's inability. Unlilke Royce, who the opposite applies to; apparently.

KC was there too. Does he know nothing as well?

I've not seen much praise for Royce. His honesty in the press at times has been good, but there hasn't been much sign that he's a coach that will improve things for us.

The recent threads appraising him didn't show a positive reaction to him either, most were suggesting his contract won't be renewed.

So, for example when a poor completion rate is mentioned, there's not a post suggesting

"Royce won't coach them to drop the ball, that's the players fault."
