I wouldn,t blame Brown for this one, after 5 mins the players didn,t look interested shocking performance by every single player. Warrington played as though it was them who was going for the league leaders shield.
We might as well toss a coin for the game next week to what the players are going to come up with, it was embarrassing.

Brown is responsible for the game plan (what game plan?), who plays where and how, for training, for attitude and for motivation. Of course he is to blame. As are the players too because they are supposed to be fulltime professionals, although the children at halftime had better ball handling skills and more enthusiasm than Saints did. But Brown doesn't duck this one. The whole job lot of them are responsible.

The people who are NOT responsible are the fans. They have yet again been totally let down by utter turd.

btw have you seen Saints' Facebook page? They've stuck an advert on it for next year's season tickets (with increase in price). Honestly. After that performance! No wonder the team is so dumb. The club is showing the way.

Saints don't have a game plan, they can't even form a scrum to stop the clock.

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.
Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.

That means Wellens returning to full back and the club want volunteers to play scrum half.

St Helens will never win big games with Lance Hohaia in the side, awful player.

We were goi okay until McDonnell went off. But as with all to often this year, 1 tiny little thing throws them off kilter and next thing we know were 20 points down.

What was even more frustrating for me was I felt at half time we could really go on and recover and give one last big push, alas it was not to be. Nobody can really hold their heads up after that performance.

If McDonnell has broken his jaw, it just sums up our season. Swift to fullback? (thought his performance was a very dim bright point in the direness that was that performance - in at least he proved himself to be 10x better than Dawson, who is the definition of mediocre) or Wellens to fullback and Hewitt into the side? How much worse could it get? Wellens will get a lot of stick, but he actually created our only 2 try's which is more than can be said for our "real" halfback hohaia who offered precisely nothing, other than weak defence. Manu, Laffranchi and Soliola were very poor, lms, Flanaghan Amor and Masoe were completely anonymous. I still can't figure out who was playing where in the backs, and by the looks of it neither did they. Brown did himself absolutely no favours with his post match interview. He made me even more angry about it than I already am. There was absolutely no game plan, our kicking game was possibly the biggest embarrassment in a night of embarrassments. On the one hand you can say were missing our halfbacks, BUT that's precisely why we needed a clear and concise plan.

The only bright side is I'm off internet for the weekend...

When was the last time he did anything he should. He hasn't got the balls to make a decision like that. He'll just continue making his ridiculous statements suggesting we're on the cusp of glory again. He won't face up to the mistakes he's made or do anything about them.

It's never too late to do the right thing!

It's Mike Rush who loves Brown. Wants him to stay on after next year. McManus trusts Rush. So I very much doubt McManus will sack Brown. Brown is secure and all the players can go home knowing they don't have to perform well to be guaranteed a spot next week.
