I doubt many people know much about them. They have only existed 3 years, this being their first in SL.

He said similar last week...

Hull KR will be an unpredictable and dangerous opponent this Friday according to Saints’ Head Coach Mick Potter.

I think that was mainly due to it being the second game of the season friend.

His comment about Hull KR unnerved me slightly. I had hoped that it was just mind games. That he'd really been studying their technique and looking for their weaknesses like I imagine good coaches do. But if he has made a similar comment about Celtic and if we play as badly as we did on Friday against them on Saturday, (not only will we be their first win of the season but) then I will be more than slightly unnerved about Mr Potter. In fact, I will be somewhat worried. It is up to coaches to study the opposition and coach the team accordingly.

I seriously hope he isn't as clueless as he is making himself sound.

but didn`t DA say many times he hadn`t watched videos of our opponents and we seemed to do OK then?

we should run over the crusaders easily, however we should have beat HKR, but Crusaders seem well off the pace currently.

i would be rather worried if we lost on sat to celtic tbh, although didnt surprise me that we lost to hkr knew it would be close as we had a few players out and tbh potter is still settling in at saints just give it time
