Some coaches get emotional and find it difficult to restrain themselves after a game. The above quotes are probably what he meant.

Somebody mentioned the 50 pts loss to Wigan. Wasn't that followed by GH asking publicly if the side had run its course? Whenever that was, it was a premeditated public statement for players and fans alike to let everyone know improvement was required. IIRC it worked pretty well too.

To be fair, don't the coaches do a post match press conference as well as talking direct to Sky? Might the Saints website version be what Cunningham said in there?

Absolutely, that is possible, but I'm sure that when the version to be put on their website was being chosen, it wasn't random chance that the one with out some of his more effusive and inflammatory comments was chosen. But fair play to Saints I would have done the same thing. Taking the P out of the situation is a bit of fun, but being fair I think that whilst OTT and not an appropriate way to communicate with or about his players. Cunningham's rant showed real passion for his team.
