there are actually more stories and reasoning and excuses ? coming from commentators and the CEO- than the facts allow

Bomber on the Tv soon


atleast Nothing the Saints did or didn't do is being questioned. and it is Robson who is chasing tail to' explain" the why's and where fores.


I still don;t see how being cramped into a small plane could be better than the freedom of bus ride.

Gerard healey and OTC first to query how being in the plane could be better than catching a bus - or flying earlier and having time to stretch and walk.

and the ' good will' they never planned to spend much time 'on the ground'

Perhaps they were trying to flex their 'big 4 club' muscles?

Who knows.

I just know I'd be livid if my loved one was sent off in a small plane during such extreme weather conditions.

Bombers will be working overtime with their country 'supporters' for the next 12 months
as they leave Bendigo to themselves and yet make demands for the next 8 months.

Makes sense. They are ruthless and want to improve. Hope we do exactly the same thing.

Hocking, who wasn't in last week's team as he recovered from "a slight knee aggravation", said the Bombers weren't affected by the drama.

"We're elite athletes, so we've got to prepare for everything," he said on Thursday.

"We just trained hard on Sunday morning and then had a pretty normal week.

"We're going to go into this week and start practising what we've learnt over the pre-season and see how it all goes, and start preparing for round one.

"But I wouldn't say that we're back any further than what we would be."


someone forget to tell the players the reason for the kerfuffle?

we're elite athletes, we fly in jets, we get paid a bomb, we're elite!

obviously unable to prepare for everything.
