Alex King leaves Saints immediately

Weird timing to end a fairly weird spell altogether. Goes to Northampton as one of the most highly rated backs coaches in Europe, is part of immediate success, then is there as Northampton turn into distilled shat, particularly in the back line.

Will be very interesting to see what happens in his next job and who was actually responsible for that.

All very sudden but they have stuttered a bit. Wonder if they already have a replacement lined up

Suspect both Saints and Tigers are going to have a big clear out end of season.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

If our backs continue to play like a lame dog then he was the wrong man to go (which we suspect he was).

If we suddenly get better in the backs then he was the right sacrificial lamb.

Saints and tigers will definitely both have a clear out end of this year and probably readjust out playing styles.
