I fear that the Saints may have shot themseves in the foot again.
They have sacked their last three successful coachs (Sheldon , Alves and now Thomas) after just one slightly below par year mainly caused by injury to key personel.
We all have seen what happened to them after Alves and Sheldon got the flick.
This scenario would be like WC sacking Woosha if they fail to make the GF this year, very little difference.
GT is not my favorite person but anyone who has a win / loss of 55% and has gotten to 2 PF's in a row clearly has more than no idea.
This just smacks of a knee jerk reaction at a time of bitter disappointment and appears to have been not thought through at all.

He didn't get them into any grand finals
But then again he never had a fully fit list.
If kosi, both clarkes and hamil were fit. And Lenny Hayes and the Goos in the team its a different stkilda side.

The fact is they aren't, haven't been for some time, and he still played them.trueblue_91 said:
That is almost reason enough to get sacked.
Pathetic coach.

I suppose Culture was against Thomas...
Second worst decision I've ever witnessed.
Stupid. He should have stayed.
