I haven't been this excited since they upgraded Curren, and Ferg before that. Ferg didnt work out too well but tom is settling in nicely.
Minch is definitely the best equipped to make the transition to senior ranks, just needs to build a bit more of a tank so he can run
through the midfield. He's hard at it with good skills to boot. Should be the perfect choice for the sub this week, an offensive running player!
Not since cripps have we had someone who had the ability to add some potency to the lineup after coming on as sub :D

if he is to replace saad, he could be up for a starting gig.......

congrats to the lad. Cant say that I have seen him play a lot .. hope he has a cracking debut and kicks on.

Was secretly hoping Shents might get a look in this week .. I saw him in the internal trial at the start of the year play in defence and I thought he acquitted himself well. At the time I thought he could possibly carve out a niche as a small defender ...with an occasional run in the forward line.

Yes


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Definitely a sign that Milne is going as well as saad at the end of the year I reckon.

Hopefully, Ledger isn't a synonym for someone who stays on the ledge/shelf.

According to thefreedictionary.com a ledger is "a flat slab of stone laid over a grave"
