If Grant was not hog tied and then fired by a coke headed tosser of a president, I'm certain that eventually, he would have won us a flag or two. .
You have been following the saints a long time, have you ever seen a better list that that in 04 - 05?
Yep.I have followed them for 70 odd years. Can still remember players like Paul Dodds, Keith,Drinan,Les Foote,,Billy Young, Brian Gleeson, Peter Bennett, and Jimmy Ross.
Incidentally, I ran into Ross years later when he had the pub in Longford Tasmania. I was a pit marshall at the Lonford GP in the mid 60's, the year Rocky Tresize was killed. 1965, from memory. We operated out of the pub, or more correctly congregated there before and after the race. He was a friend of my fathers. Nice bloke who left the saints too early.
Rocky was killed , along with a photographer right in front of my eyes. Shocking. I can still see the accident unfold.
