Royce Simmons [Discussion]

Maybe Folkesy and Gentle will be the 2 Assistant Coaches with Cherry Mescia coming back?
 
What are everyone thoughts on Royce leaving ?

I always thought that he would be the successor to Sheens when he finally steps down.

Gee I hope that we never get Stuart coaching us. What aer everyones thoughts on why would be able to do a better job than Sheens ? Maybe Folkes ?

1 down…1 to go

:laughing: Why did you think that Batz? the bloke is absolutley hopeless. England will soon discover this….....

As ink said 1 down, 1 to go.
 
heh if Royce got the top job I think a lot on here would have jumped off the nearest bridge.

I'd like Folkes to be given a go though

I'm not so sure. The team does not look any fitter than in previous years.

yeah? I may be viewing the previous games, bar yesterday, a bit differently then. I think we would have lost quite a few of those close games in previous years.

Not sure who else out there would be worth a go though.
 
Just like to say a big hello from England! :smiley:

I have always had a liking towards Wests and they are my "other team" shall we say and I thought I'd get to know the team better by getting a fan perspective rather than a half hour show over here showing highlights.

I'm a St Helens fan from SL and our coach next year will be Royce Simmons and I just wanted to introduce myself to you lot and ask whether you rate him? I honestly do not know much about the guy and I hope he will be a good enough coach to keep us strong next season.

What are people's opinions on the guy?

Royce has been blamed for a lot of our defensive issues over the past 5 years
he also has a fetish for witches hats (apparently)
Whilst he has no doubt helped keep the ship upright at Concord, I'd say a lot of people are happy to see him go
 
This should be good….

Sheens rates Royce the equal to any Coach he has come up against at all levels..

personally I think a lot of his work goes un noticed...the quite achiever.. :wink:
 
If someone with the credentials as Tim Sheens rates Roycie then that's a huge endorsement in my eyes. I think he has been unfairly talked about by a lot of people here, especially when they don't know what goes on behind closed doors. The problem is fans see things as black and white but there's always that shade of grey. I think Royce would have learned a lot from Tim and also Steve Folks even though he's only been here a year. I think Saints will be in safe hands and I have a feeling he'll be sussessful in the UK. Good Luck Royce and good luck Saints!
 
The defensive issues that was brought up concerns me a little. Our defence is poor at the minute going into the play-offs under Potter and it has been on the slide for a few seasons.

Yes, on our forum there was talk of Sheens really rating him and that's all we could go off really, we know that he wasn't really a success at Penrith so we just hope we got the right man
 
Gets a huge wrap from tigers players and ex players in the media. He is known as a terrific footballing brain, Very Dry wit ,

Wishing him the best of luck.

He should do OK over there as long as you have some decent players
