I'd be ecstatic. But surely that is extremely unlikely?

I think it is unlikely we will get both, although if it did happen I would be thrilled.





I'd ve very happy with Potter though. Saints play some of the best rugby in the competition, Potter has a good record at both Catalans and Saints, he's proved he can coach a team to finals and he's also not afraid to blood youngsters.





Whilst he may not have brought all these Saints youngsters into their academy, he certainly seems to know how and when to blood them and they seem to progress fast under him.



I wouldn't be unhappy with McDermott, but Potter would be a much better appointment imo.

Unfortunately, I fear you are probably right.



See Connor is asking folk on Twitter which one they want?



I vote coalition!

Haven't Saints always played some of the best rugby in the comp? Not sure Potter can be credited with over and above the abilities of the players.



In saying that, Brian Potter would be a better choice than John Kear. Cannot abide the bloke as a coach, commentator or as a finger mouse puppet.

Thats fair comment, but as a coach, Potter has proved more than McDermott atm.

Neither we need to look to the NRL imo.

Murphy suggests via Twitter that we'll know within a week. He also says it is very close.



I'm firmly in the Mick Potter camp atm.

It's neither. I was drinking with duffers and hoody in the Craven heifer last night.



I won't say outright who it is but I'll give you a clue. His first name starts with an L and his second name starts with a St.

That has absolutely no bearing on whether he'll be a good head coach or not what so ever. That's the job of the development coach or what ever they call them these days. Every club in the SUper league know with the exception of that soul less franchise in Wrexham has it's own academy churning out quality players that are filling up their own squads. My friend used to work for harlequins and she says it's the culture within the organisation as a whole from board level down. Brian McDermott has undoubtedly put his heart and a lot of work into it but so has Steve Macnamara at Bradford. I think the club need to appoint the man that will get the best out of the first team squad as a priority over everything else as if the current slump (and I'm talking about the last five years and I'm not holding Macnamara responsible for that) continues there'll be only us lot on here rattling around the Odsal Bowl by the end of next season. In that respect we need the coach to have been at winning clubs from a marketing point of view or season ticket sales could tumble.



That's the priority and the man to do it will be revealed this week.

Brian Potter will be brilliant, the catering will pick up and we'll bring in some top talent. Him and Jerry St Clair would be my dream team.

I had to google those two to find out who the hell they are...





Very bad form, sir!

I would be happy with Potter. Why would he leave Saints though?
