COACH Keiron Cunningham was booed by Saints fans during the club’s latest heavy defeat – but he has vowed to continue to fight hard.

Disgruntled home fans vented their feelings when the SKY cameras panned on the Saints boss leaving his seat before half time.

They also copied the Warrington fans’ chants mocking the Saints team’s ability in another thoroughly depressing night at Langtree Park.

When asked his thoughts on what it felt like to hear the fans react in this way, Cunningham said: "It's disappointing but the fans pay their money and they are entitled to their opinion.

"They are just desperate for the team to do well.

"They've got to vent their frustrations somewhere but I don't take it personally, even though they are shouting about me.

"I understand where they are coming from. I am fighting as hard as they want us to fight and we will get there."

Saints unravelled pretty early one, and trailed from the fifth minute after second rower Ben Currie crossed for the first of Warrington's five tries.

But it was the other end which showed Saints were going to be in for a long night when, in the absence of Luke Walsh, they seemed incapable of breaking down the Warrington defence.

Much of their attacking play seemed bereft of ideas, epitomised by teeing the ball up for Greg Richards to plough it in on the last tackle.

It seemed the only tool in the attacking locker was a speculative Wilkin punt to the corner.

In the end they were lucky hat a piece of individual skill from Jonny Lomax prevented them from being nilled.

"It was a tough night. It's a results-based industry and, when you don't pick a few results up, it seems like the world is against you.

"I thought effort-wise, we had that in abundance," Cunningham said.

"The difference in the two sides was that we just weren't quite clinical enough with the ball. Warrington had five or six chances and they took them.

"We had a lion's share of possession in the first half and lot of opportunities but came away with nothing.

"That causes anxiety and that leads to unforced errors and it comes down to the energy battle again.

"The result could easily have gone our way had we executed better. Defensively we didn't get the rewards.

"We lost Luke Walsh and we had Jon Wilkin in the halves and it's something that's probably going to take time to get going again.

"We've got a group of players who are hungry and determined to work hard for each other which we didn't have a few week ago.

"I'm not happy with the result but there's a few more games to go this year and all we can do is fight as hard as we can."
