Yup is a rabble cheat supporter.

Mabye the rabble can put Rix on a $350k a year contract like Peaheart Ackland, the other player they stole from us :D


Lance or James??

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

I like Rix.

He'll never get a game as long as King and Gardiner are fit, but he's a very handy depth ruckman.

He's big, strong and very fit, and we know he can stand up and compete at AFL level. He's unskilled, but for a third ruckman who's complaining?

Theres no doubting Rix always has a crack, and gives his all for the club despite his limited ability. Is a handy backup, but nothing more than that.

Rix is worth 600,000 k over 3 years IMO maybe a bit more.

also if you are quick you can get him in the PSD so you don't have to trade draft picks for him.

pretty sure you'll be top 3 in the PSD again.

can't see you getting no.1 though, melbourne have that reserved.

Rix is nicely earning his paycheck by being an insurance policy against another spate of injury to the big men, and providing a benchmark that Van Rheenan and McEvoy need to pass before we can truly be said to have ruck depth (both Kosi and Blake IMO are ahead of him on the strength of decisions made by Lyon at the end of '07, but if we move them to the ruck, we're moving them away from other jobs, so it's still not ideal).

The moment that happens, Rix is toast, and the moment the Saints need the list spot he may be toast. From a perspective of skills he was tried and found wanting, he;s neither the first nor the last.

My biggest surprise from Rix was enjoying his writing on Saintscentral.
