You say that as though Holbrook isn’t the reason why we should win the treble. If we winthe treble then he’ll go down as one of the great Super League coaches. To take a club that was struggling badly to where it is now, with largely the same players, is outstanding. The impact he’s had on individual players has been remarkable, something that can’t be said of Price. The likes of Thompson, Lomax and Knowles are now up there as the best in the league in their positions when they were nowhere near before.

Meanwhile, Steve Price has been backed with expensive signings but most of them have been flops and despite the signing of Austin you’re at the same level as last season. There’s a reason why NRL clubs are after Holbrook and none are after Price. One’s a top coach the other is a poor one.

There isn't a treble.

Serious question, Will Holbrook go down as a legend if he leaves before the season finishes and you win nothing? Or win one trophy and are beaten finalists? Or win nothing despite dominating this season?

I'm interested what you guys are thinking at the minute because more than any other team in recent history you should be confident of a clean sweep this season. Far and away the best team, everyone else is inconsistent at best and generally poor.

Saints could do the treble, LLS, CC and GF.

Can't see us (Hull) winning on Saturday, we've either lost or struggled in our last matches siince Catalans.

Just hope it is a decent game.

He will only go down as one of the great superleague coaches in your eyes, should Saints win the treble. As it stands, you or I could coach them to it, it's the worst standard SL by a country mile, as you've kept saying so yourself. Therefore, if you don't win the GF and Challenge Cup double, Holbrook is an abject failure.

Re: Serious issues..... : Tue Jul 23, 2019 4:40 pm  

Saints did the double last season, they lost both semi-finals.
