Re: The 80's....
That era was absolutely atrocious and frustrating and it went on and on and on. My godfather was the bloke who used to drive the players' gear van to the various grounds on match day, starting in the Allan Jeans era, and was sacked by the club (he was just a volunteer) on the day of Jezza's first f...

Plugger for me too.
So many fond memories of him absolutely dominating games and giving us all a thrill when he'd get on the end of another bullet pass from Cuz.

Joffa was a big cult hero back in the 80s. Him and Burnsy gave our team a real hard edge. Two of the toughest blokes ever to pull on a Saints guernsey.

Re: Welcome to the Saints Goddard!
What those picks do ensure is we finish bottom the next 2 years but maybe pick up very quickly after that. Very risky picks. Huge gambles that may pay off. Worth it after 140 years of failure. Good post. I agree! Get in the KPPs while we can, as they're saying the next 2 drafts are going to be ligh...

Re: Looking to 2015
CityWest I have to agree with many here. This idea of yours lacks full thought. Those two players are central to our rebuild and will be still in their peak with 150 to 200 games of experience when we compete again for a flag. They are starting midfielders who have the hardened bodies ready for ful...

My old Saints in England just won the RL grand final, so at least that's one Saints team that can bring home the biccies.

Re: Pierce Signs Extension..
When you consider the change we got in the Hickey deal, I would rate that we paid around a mid second rounder for both Hickey & Longer. If we can't accommodate the two, we have the luxury of keeping the best one and more than likely trade out the other one fro a similar or better pick than we p...
