Making a play for Simon Black?

Post: # 1018697Post The Linton Street Flash »

Only caught the tale end of it today on SEN but I think Hutchinson and Pickering were saying something about the saints going for black - is this true?


Look again it's the Flash!!

Simon or Aaron???
That would be huge news if it is Simon and it is true.
I don't see why a 31 year old would want to change club after being a lion all his career.


Sainter for life.

was along the lines of the Saints 'Should have' gone for Black and was in the conversation on the Lions and where they are at- and that a fresh start for the most decorated Lion would have been good and IF the saints could have fitted him them would have been a good fit

Simon Black has signed for one year at Brisbane........

It's that time of year where speculation is rife without truth. Everyone is footy starved.


I once spent a year in Adelaide, I think it was on a Sunday.

I think all they are alluding to is that Simon Black is going to spend his last couple of years at a rebuilding club with limited motivation. Saints grab him he plays for a realistic chance at another flag. Goes down as a possible 4 times premiership player instead of a guy who retires at the bottom of the ladder.

Very speccy, but definitely one I'd prefer to entertain compared to the usual Fisher, Cloke, Fevola, Miller nonsense on here... even for a 31 year old he is all class!

Enough with broken down players from other clubs--even if they were once a brownlow medalist. I want our team to play the kids! Give Steven, Stanley, Smith, Armo, Walsh Lynch etc. a go.

We really need to get a guy like Johnstone!

Dirt cheap and he looks it too


Another opportunity awaits!

Moccha, I'm curious to know why you think Johnstone would fit into RL's game plan?

I don't but I just like stirring the ignorant ones. We should stay away from all recycled players unless they can give us 10 years of service

Obviously, there are going to exceptions to criteria. MG was going cheap, so we virtually had nothing to lose. Also, it has been documented that the Filth had an eye on Luke's bollock for some time. Not many teams are going to pass on premiership ruckman like Jolly.

I think Moccha is pretty saying "no hacks, please". Johnstone is definitely in that category.

Well why get Peake then? I reckon Peake makes Johnstone look like BJ in the way they use the ball.

Cmon give or take. Maybe if they they're bloody good players then of course you'd take them for 3 yrs but let's leave the hacks alone

That is my point with Peake. I agree with you but he really just about comes under the hacks criteia especially if Johnstone does.

At least Peake has three years on the right side of 30, Johnstone will be 31 in 2011.

Well to be fair, Peake was some insurance that Ross took out for Lovett...

Doesn't alter the fact that if we didn't take Cousins, I can't see why we'd take Johnstone given his age.

What do you mean Peake was insurance for Lovett. i doubt that. I would think he was hoping both would play unless we are now into wasting picks for the sake of it. Anyway i think we should get anyone whatever there age if they can help next year win a flag as we only have 2-3 years left. Doubt Johnstone will help but I couldnt give a stuff about age.
