I've got a love/ hate relationship with the Trade period

When we're down the bottom of the ladder, its always intriguing to see what we can pull out


Nee!

More like undies. I mean, you'll always need undies, but it's hard to get excited about.
Not me, commando! :wink:

ps...i would have thought that it would be more accurate to say that the trade period has left many supporters deflated as it has more often than not stripped the club of it's star /better players...
so let me get this straight you would have rather we kept Darryl Wakelin and not picked up Aaron Hamil ??
also with Shane Wakelin he was the one who wanted out of the saints after only playing 4 games in 2000 ...
but hey you re-write history to suit your story

you are the one rewriting history there boy.....and you are a boy.....shane was given the flick by that asswipe coach we had for a few games...

..and that is absolutely the last time i will reply to you

Grow up old boy, and you are an old boy. The world has moved on and you need to stop abusing people and accept it.
You must love the fact that we have 27 wooden spoons and counting!

Can't understand why anyone would abuse you!

Of course if we still had BJ, Dal, Ben and Rhys we'd be top four next year!

You are probably right Stinger. We would be adding wooden spoons in about 3 seasons after we had ordinary 13-16 places so that would put us about 5 years behind where we are now.

Exactly. Pelican is about speeding up the inevitable. It's a shame some can't get that fact.

Of course the picks we get for Dal BJ Macca and Stanley won't initially be as good as what we lost. It's long term planning.

Wait until mid 2016 to judge Pelican
