[QUOTE="Don't Skip Leg Day, post: 830132, member: 35381"] Half term report Northampton Saints Currently sitting 7th in the table is a fair reflection for a team of top players playing in a disjointed team with some extremely poor coaching and game plan. For a team that still consists of the majority of players who won the premiership, we lack passion, skill and that killer edge. The main issue seems to be the coaching disconnect to the players. While no one knows exactly what is going on, ex player and professional Victor Matfield has stated there are major coaching issues at the saints. We all saw the strange exit of Alex King in unknown circumstances. Very odd. Top performers King Louis, dragging our team forward the way Manoa used to. Tom Wood. Should have been captain for the last few years , he's back to his best. Nic Groom, the only exciting back who Jim picks at the moment. Disappointments The coaching, our attack looks like it's from an under 9s team. Jim Malinder, with little or no game plan his team selection has been very poor as well. Dickson, Myler, pisi x 2, Burrell and Foden. All our backs have been terrible, this possible points towards a coaching issue rather than that many players playing so badly. [/QUOTE]
