St Helens' season came to an end on Saturday as they lost 20-12 to Hull KR in the Super League play-off semi-finals. The talk in the aftermath is that Paul Wellens' contract won't be renewed but is that fair?

00:00well

00:06they're going to be disappointed aren't they

00:10with fifth and

00:12not reaching a major final because they have

00:15high standards

00:16I think considering all the injuries they've had

00:19and the disruption

00:19I don't think they've had a bad season

00:22at all

00:23they qualified for the playoffs they got to

00:26a

00:27semi-final and they created

00:30the moment of the season with the win

00:32at Leeds

00:34in the elimination play-off

00:37I think

00:37they've obviously got issues

00:40no one thinks that Paul

00:42Wellens is going to be coached next season

00:45there are

00:46question marks over his team

00:48selection particularly in the halves

00:50but

00:51most teams would

00:54settle for a season like that wouldn't they

00:56but I suppose when you

00:57when you're a club that is used to winning trophies

01:00it's a disappointment

01:01if you don't do that

01:03I think

01:05I think Paul Wellens has come in for some undeserved criticism

01:09really

01:11I think he's

01:12he's

01:12done better than people give him credit for

01:15really

01:16I think he's a better coach than people give him credit for

01:19but

01:19I don't think it would be enough to keep him

01:22in a job

01:23unfortunately

01:24I think

01:25if you're going to coach St Helens

01:27you have to win trophies

01:28and obviously he's not done that

01:30so

01:31I would expect them to have a different coach next season

01:35thanks for joining us

01:41please like and share

01:43and we'll see you next week

01:44thank you
