Re: What Is Going On?

I'm loving that here a re a lot of other clubs losing players and coaches, having awkward press conferences and the Saints are nowhere to be seen.

Please keep it that way.

Re: Clubs and relevance ladder

Yes, also remember the membership revenue table, which clearly showed that having a higher figure in your membership tally does not mean a lot. Our 30,000 members could be worth the same revenu...

Thanks Dools, looks as though you succeeded in convincing Winners that it was not worth the post from one of our few supporters who were at the game. Very disappointing how we treat our own.

Re: Saints Appoint David Teague

Very positive reports on the job he did over here with the Eagles. He was their back line coach. He left for family reasons with the birth of their first (?) child late last year. A very good appointment regardless of whether it is supposedly too late to find good assistant coaches. Well done Saints

Re: Billy Longer

Here's my guess: Since Bruce is playing the PSD card hard, we might want to secure the Longer deal by offering pick 19 for Longer and swapping their pick 22 for our 25. 22 is about the average between the two stalemated positions. (Hoping like hell for a straight pick 25 deal though. Hoping even ha...

He has been at the Eagles for the last 3 years. From all reports has been very good with player development and strategies. A lot of Eagles fans wanted him to throw his hat in the ring to replace Woosha.

Can we blame Ross lying for his lack of development to make us feel better?
