Coming soon- Brand new business opportunity

Greg Westaway as the skipper and Ross Lyon as Gilligan. It wouldn't be a three hour cruise by any chance?

Saints playing funeral songs

It gives me no pleasure to say it, but Trevor Grant has hit the nail on the head. This should be compulsory reading for all those who continue to believe that RL is on the right track. Succinct, insightful and unfortunately correct!

I heard he injured his shoulder badly and may be out for the year. LTIL a possibility which means one of the rookies could be promoted.

Hardness Lost

It strikes me that one area the team has really been hit hard is the loss of "hard players". The current list looks as impotent as an 80 year old diabetic. Since 2004, we have lost the following players, all of whom could safely be described as being "hard at it". Brett Voss, Bre...

Pure gold!! (Worth the long read)

By the way, thanks Saint Rising for defending our right to have our material acknowledged. As a writer I really appreciate the fact that someone keeps an eye on the plagiarism issue. While the piece is hardly Pulitzer winning material, I respect your willingness to defend the standards. It was also ...

Thanks BringBackMadDog. I'm the one who wrote it and take no offence. I'm glad it's getting a second run! Flattering to think someone thinks it's good enough to email! If only it would come true!

For argument's sake

If we don't trade, the AFL will find a way to take him from us. Just as big a concern is what will happen to Gilbert and Armitage. They will be coming into their prime and if they continue to improve at the expected rate, they will be a massive loss for us. On the upside, it will give us something o...

Mcevoy vs. rioli

Ben McEvoy has the potential to be our no.1 ruckman for the next decade. Having seen him play a couple of times at U/18 level and for the scorps, he clearly has the potential to make it. Think a slightly less athletic version of Kosi. Hopefully with a more robust body and better luck with injuries! ...

Flag at last for Harvey!

September 30, 2037. Demetriou Dome, New Delhi, India. The Saints finally won that elusive second premiership with a hard fought and thrilling 2 point win over the West Sydney Mortgage Defaulters, in front of 250,000 fans at the Demetriou Dome (Named in honour of the greatest and most influential per...

What do you mean he's going to miss out on the ultimate prize? On current form he's going to go around again. Danielle looks so worried I'm sure the matter has already been discussed at family level. We probably won't win it this year, but if we do win it next year, he'll be there! Let's hope so, be...

You've lost the plot. Check the forum and you'll see I'm a first time poster. What relevance of the cut and paste. It wasn't btw. I'm really fascinated by your behaviour.

You just reinforce my point. You are unfamiliar with the concept of the truth and cannot accept when you are wrong, which going by your childish posts, must be often. I shouldn't tease the intellectually inferior, but you've made such a fool of yourself so often, I couldn't help it. I promise I'll s...

Oh dear Saint Rising! We are going backwards. He can spin it however he likes. 2004 -3rd, 2005-3rd, 2006-8th, 2007-9th, 2008-currently 9th. That would appear to me as though we are steadily climbing down RL's ladder of success. I thought someone of even your limited intelllect could grasp the notion...

Apologies MB about plagiarising your excellent nickname of Barney. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I didn't get it from your post. I heard it used by a couple of disgruntled fans at the Dome, as RL made his way from the arena. Obviously they thought it was pretty apt as well. You should...

Nice one. Your ignorance is staggering. Yes the Trojan Horse did result in victory. Victory for the people that sent it you moron. That was my point. The senders of the trojan horse are the victors.
