Can't say he hasn't got them playin an exciting brand of footy.
Even if they get thru and lose next week, what an amazing turn around from that club.
I always thought letting him go was a shocking mistake IMO .....
We didn't let him go Greg T.
He got a $1million dollar singing on fee. The Saints could not compete with that.
The guy had debt. He needed a way out. But yeah, we let him go if you say so.
C'mon Pav, if we'd given him an unconditional 3 year deal 6 months earlier he'd have signed with us... The pharking around with clauses meant no security.
I still think we needed a fresh start though, not unhappy he has gone.

Yeah sure but both parties put it off didn't they?
I personally over heard a board member tell his mates that other clubs would get into Ross big time. He also said that the Saints were keen to sign him. That was in Aprill 2011. I don't know what happened after that but they were not blind to it.
Holder of unacceptable views and other thought crimes.
Freo are the real deal
Good players on every line. 3 gun tall defenders over 194cm.
Not a single dud or 'role player'
Mcqualter or eddy would never get close to getting a game.

A very good side, but definitely not the most talented.

maybe we are seeing what he could have done when he doesn't have to rely on role players to fill out his list..
The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?
Nettlefold is all right, he was a a GOP as a player, hence, he wasn't a one club player, he went to whoever wanted him, we haven't turned to crap under his stewardship, it's just that some don't like him, probably those that remember him as a player..
Lyin had an agenda, Nettlefold didn't, Ross has fallen on his feet at Freo, good luck to him, i hope he wins it..
