Who should inherit?
As it seems likely the great man Robert Harvey will retire at season's end, hopefully very late September with the medal he seeks the most, and keeping with tradition set by Burkey and Stewie, who do you think may inherit the number 35?

You are right.SaintWal wrote:Life goes on.
Let Harvs decide as it is now a great tradition started by the club.
I believe there is room, especially at club level, away from match day, for some sort of sentimentality.
Banger and Trevor Barker, are just the heart and soul of the place.
Hanging up the jumper would be a strong mark of respect.
Banger would'nt be interested though.

Harvs will more than likley pass it on the same way Burkey and Buckets did. Intresting to note though that the famous #4 worn by legends like Baldock and Lockett is in moth balls this season.
I wonder if Thomo didnt select a player to pass it too or the decision was made to put it aside for a year but I would love to see the #4 back next year. IMHO #4 could be worn by our captain like Port do with #1 and Richmond do with #17. Pobably wont work but it was just a thaught
BANG BANG

Retire it, enlargen it to huge flag size - and hang it from the rafters of the Dome - hell I even started a campaign 2 years ago to have the wing named in his honor.
The huge 35 would be a great reminder to all players - of the qualities needed to succeed!

Well, it would be up to Harves.
On one hand, if Harves went to just about any Saint and asked the question you'd think they'd take him up. On the other, if he doesn't, it may well end up virtually retired regardless of what the club does... it would take a lot of guts to ask for #35 as a kid coming up, and by the time you've justified yourself to that extent, you're probably wearing a lower number anyway, so may well not even want to change.
While we're making player suggestions, mine would be Clinton Jones. He certainly doesn't have the dodging skills that Harves did during his prime (well, few players can hold a candle to Harves during his prime 10 years ago), but his game is built on hard work and speed.
If you'd told me I'd make that suggestion 12 months ago I would have accused you of being on crack.
For what it's worth with the comments on X and Kosi, and then mys suggestion of CJ for #35, I don't look at the handing down of numbers as being "these guys will be the best players", more as "these guys are really good clubmen who we want to be career Saints". If we're waiting for another Harves to be able to wear #35, we'll be waiting a long time.
