Re: Josh Bruce makes a monkey out of David King
Despised him as a player but think he is a brilliant commentator At least he does his homework and he provides outstanding insights into the tactics, Wednesday night on 360 is great with Sellers So what if he went against the Saints, does it really matter I know what I would prefer over the inanity...

Re: armo hit
There was an earlier incident that Armo could be in strife over though... early 1st quarter, reasonably forceful head high contact front on.
The Masten one was 1000% legal.

Re: We will target Sloane at end of season!!
Sloane's dad was wearing a Saints scarf at the game on Saturday so his allegiances haven't changed! I personally think that Rory will end up re-signing for 2 years & we might be back in the mix in 2017 to add him as a 28 year old free agent as we climb back into contention. Shiel is the primary ...

Re: Guess this weeks ins and outs
I can't believe Membrey is being considered as a possible out. He has been playing his role perfectly & will be a great foil for Roo & Bruce. We'll be massively top heavy against a super quick side with Hickey staying in. He played well against a very tall backline last week but the Dogs don...

Re: Harvey vs Williams
We were a bees diaphragm away from having both play in red, white & black too.
Adding Diesel to that 1992 side would have put us over the top. Yet ANOTHER reason to hate Carlton & Ian Collins.

Re: Wellington is it working??

Re: Who's going to Welly??
I'm flying out tonight... super excited to get to Welly & enjoy a fantastic weekend of footy & commemorating 100 years of ANZAC.
Theres apparently a brilliant ANZAC display at the Tepapa museum that free.
Look forward to meeting up with a few fellow Sainters over the ditch tomorrow.

Re: Josh Bruce has gone mad.
From #lovetheblake to #lovethebruce I like him a lot. Hopefully he improves his kicking at goal. I think he can. The set shot directly in front after the screamer was the only let down. Perhaps too much adrenalin got the better of him. From memory, he kicked truly on his other set shots. He really ...

Re: Saintsational is slowly dying.
The on field performances have little to do with it IMO. It was the ridiculous slanging matches & great discussions that are highjacked by a select few that drove me away. I only occasionally bother to look at SS now. Sad ...as it was a great place to interact with other mad Saints not so long a...

Re: Number Four
Nerve damage from his broken arm suggested he wouldn't play until later in the year...has worked his arse off & is miles ahead of schedule.
Had a bad day but is talented & hard working.
But yes, write him off now, add him to the list of lost causes with Acres, White, etc

Good work Shmoses. If you arent a Saints fan thats a good effort and pretty accurate overall. Hard to argue with much there. I'm not but a good mate of mine is and was very helpful.

Re: Saints- Pass or Fail for Trade Period?
I give the trade period an A+. We didn't sell the farm for half of what's it worth because we went into a "panic share sell off" We held our nerve, we knew what our prize was worth, threw it out there for a fool to pay overs and it didn't happen. So we're stuck with the No.1 draft pick ! ...
