Great player Thompson, was the Dean Cox of his time.
In an age of lumbering ruckmen Thompson was athletic and had pretty good skills. Peter Moore then took athletic ruckmen to a new level.
Josh Fraser reminds me a lot of Thompson but he is not as good overhead.
RIP!

On recruiting I see our position really simplistically. We had a bevy of top picks between 2000 - 2003 and picked 'no brainers' such as Rooey, Kosi, BJ etc and they have proven their worth. We didn't need the resourses of other clubs when we had these picks. As we moved up the ladder in '03, '04 &am...

I doubt we could get Judd, reasons as follows... 1/ Injury - you'd want to know he is not going to be hampered like L.Ball. 2/ Salary cap - we have Rooey, can any club afford two franchise players taking 30% of the TPP? 3/ How will players who have accepted less to stay at StKFC than offered elsewhe...

Natural progression from the old saints site when Timmy was coach, Disco Stu would rock you, Nana would make her coleslaw, Spur would eat out of the dumpster at the back of the local McDonalds and there were stalkers aplenty! The old saints forum was brilliant! As good as Saintsational is it you'll...

This is in business terms a hostile takeover attempt. But of course they have Burke and Thompson on their ticket so that means we should all vote for them blindly :roll: Rubbish it is a challenge to the board no more,no less...Hostile take over ...pffftttt :x and no I haven't decide to support this...

Take a look at the expertise of the challengers and tell me they lack the necessary financial management skills to be a viable alternative to the incumbents. If you are correct then SFF should display this acumen and release a Business plan. How difficult will that be for business people of this il...

Can anyone show me the detailed plan that the current board submitted before they were voted in by members???

Well my answer would be start acting in the best interests of the STKFC and stop doing Demetriou's bidding (roll over on Baker, SirenGate and everything else). I've seen Butterss sitting next to Andy D. at football games noticeably after his obscene outburst on SEN-clearly as a sign of support :rol...

Re: Why a 'Detail' plan from SFF is irrelevant
There is a lot of talk here about some people waiting for 'detail' financial/business plan for the SFF before deciding whether to vote for them. This is an irrelevant side issue. Why? Ask yourselves: So what was Fox’s detail plan before he took over the saints? What was the Plymton’s board deta...

I do not think that the incumbent administration and much more importantly the members requesting a detailed business plan from SFF is unreasonable. I also believe that plan needs to be more detailed that that of the incumbent. As an analogy lets consider Bank Finance for an existing business for gr...

Thanks srs, you obviously have a good knowledge on this subject. I think we agree that the StKFC membership database has been acquired by SFF. If your points are correct (I do not dispute them) then there is the distinct possibility the information was obtained in a less than credible manner. If tha...

As for how the SFF group got all members details, I'm pretty sure (but happy to be corrected if wrong) the saints members list has been available to sponsors such as Mortguage House and Vodaphone etc to flog their wares so to speak. Would not be too difficult to get hold of the database if it is re...
