Re: HS article 21/12 on new recruits

That's absolutely right, a lot of stuff did work under Richo, and the reason our game plan only needs minor tweaks is because it was a good game plan and really very similar to the other 17 teams. The legacy left by Richo should provide Ratts with a full tank of fuel to launch with and continue the...

That is a slur on Dunstan and is totally uncalled for. This post is worthy of a 24 hour ban.

Re: Spida Everitt Coming up tomorrow

Should be good to watch. https://youtu.be/5QZArlvy9lU Everitt doing his shoulder cost us the 1997 Premiership. Some may say Vidovic's knee cost us a flag. Either way, if we had both Everitt and Vidovic, Adelaide were no chance whatsoever. If we had one of them, we would have got it. 100% agree........

Re: AGM and financials

They haven't even started work on the Western Springs revamp for Test Cricket and oval sports in Auckland. The only other suitable ground is the Cake tin (Westpac Stadium) in Wellington and the council won't financially support it after the poor crowds when we last tried there....NZ I would think i...

Re: Where the saints are at.

We need to be the fittest team in the league. We also need to be the smartest team in the league. We need to look at rotating players at certain stages of the year to keep them fresh and to hopefully avoid injuries.

This thread has completely lost the plot. The fact is we have a $10Mil debt. We need to get rid of this debt as soon as possible and we need to make our club debt proof.

Did you read the thread Barometer, or just my post? Devilhead suggested it, just a few posts back! Newnes was no star, nor was he a dud. Just a GOP. I have suggested many times, he (like Weller) added too much weight and lost his strength which was his running power. Size is not necessary for outsi...

Re: AGM and financials

There's debt, then there's debt. If you build up debt just by doing your daily s***, that's bad. You're living beyond your means and realistically can't pay it back. If you're borrowing to invest, and accruing debt on investments that generate income and/capital gains that offset the debt - that's ...

Not if you're getting 4% return on the investment you borrowed the money for.

Focus should not be on wiping out debt. I hope we are paying the minimum off and investing everything we can into the club. Members, sponsors, bums on seats- we need positive operating cash flows to grow. Then the debt will take care of itself. To do this we need to give everyone involved every opp...

Re: Do you honestly think bringing in 5 traded players was the right move?

I just hope we now concentrate on the draft and Free Agents next year. The only trading I would do is offer Carlisle and both of our fourth round picks for a pick in the late teens. Then take that pick plus our FRP to the draft and get the 2 best mids possible.
