:o

Yeah..strange timing . Players etc being told now apparently.

[Rusty00]

Really strange timing ???

Will be interesting to hear the club's statement about moving forward.

[Toga]

What the flower?

[GoLions]

Well that's flowered. Did any Saints fans expect this? I thought he was going alright, but I'm not that informed of any expectations or whatever that the board had of him.

There's obviously more to this. You wouldn't sack a coach now without their being a relationship breakdown in the background.

Who gets the new job? I would assume chocco is the front runner

 :o :o

The strange part is his interview this morning

"When a president sits with you and says we see you as a long term coach that's enough for me, I'll get on with work, with business:

[Mailman the 2nd]

There was lots of speculation that this was happening before trade period and free agency but it got covered.

Shame, not sure who the next coach will be though

[T Dog]

? Harvey as coach

[SydneyRox]

Money would be on experienced. After hiring a first time coach and sacking after 2 years, you wouldnt think they would go new coach again.

What about Rocket?

[Ziplock]

haha, harsh.

If he's being sacked for the team's on field performances, then the stk board is disgusting.

Statement to be given by Saints this afternoon.

Did not see this coming at all. Would some of the players going to Saints would have gone if they knew this was coming.

[Ricochet]

Surely not? After he blooded all these kids this year, it seemed from the outside he was part of the rebuild
