Sliding doors: Had we lost to Gold Coast

[saintspremiers]

That bloody game and bloody Gresh!

I’ve never been so disappointed with a win as that game.

All week the blowtorch was on Richo. Was all going to plan at three quarter time but GC did there usual nothing (literally), and we fell across the line like a Bradbury.

Who knows had we lost if Richo would’ve been kybered then and there??

The media would’ve destroyed us.

......if only.

Still glad we won. Well done to Richo and the boys that night.

What exactly was ‘well done’ that night?

40 points down at 3/4 time against one of the most abysmal teams the league has ever seen. We only won bc they stopped.

I also wish they went on with it and did us by 10 goals. We’d have a decent coach lined up by now and players enthusiastic to join a proper rebuild.

[ss1986]

What’s more, the way the whole club celebrated like it was some kind of epic feat was both nauseating and very telling all at one time.

Hahhah...still banging on about wanting and expecting the Saints to lose. Great "supporter". Alan Jeans and every other great Saint would be turning in their graves.

Indeed they would... I could really imagine Jeansy, Harves, Plugger, Lenny and Roo celebrating for a week after a 2 point win against the GC after being 7 goals down.

Was our marketing and social media team’s wet dream.

Real quality stuff.

Our “true” supporters are so delusional sometimes.... you’d rather that win, in that moment, which means sweet F.A. to anyone or anything... for the sake of a loss that would have forced change for the greater good. Bizarre.

Sad.

I wish Barry Breen hadn’t kicked that point.

[Cairnsman]

I reckon that game showed how much the players play for Richo and shows we've got a few gears when we need to find em.

Imagine the possibilities with an injury free list and some continuity in consecutive games.

[elizabethr]

We were there.
It was a fantastic night !

[Scollop]

I wish Barry Breen hadn’t kicked that point.

Profound

Are you saying if Barry doesn't kick the point you may not have been a Saints supporter and therefore saved yourself the heartache of our 5 GF losses and the years of misery (as well as some fantastic years of success - of course)

You have GOT to be kidding.... they were 40.... FORTY...... points down against the Gold Coast AT THREE QTR TIME in a match that would've seen his head rol..

You REEEEEALLY think they thought 'oh sh*t, coach is gonna cop it, we better start playing footy now'.

And IF they did, then that is equally a disgrace.

Stop living in la la land. The coach is cooked.

Plus 1!!!

A come-from-behind victory after being 40 points down against the runners up for the spoon and that’s a reflection of how much the boys play for the coach?

Well, a season of four and a half wins, finishing third-last on the ladder. I guess that shows just how much the playing group responds to the coach.

See that’s what I like...someone who has some sense.
Where are the other people on the forum who s*** canned people with inside info saying we didn’t know anything?
Said a while back Roo didn’t like Richo and what do you know? He doesn’t.
The way that weak prick of a coach treated NOK in regards to his delisting is an absolute disgrace really shows how weak he is.
But hey I’m not jaxons (who I don’t have an issue with just his loyal puppy dog supporters) so I don’t expect a big parade when giving out info. Tsk tsk silly people

As much as I was very unhappy with the effort & the game plan but when we hit the front with a minute to go I couldn't watch. I took the mobile & went for a walk & when my wife text me to say we had won it euphoric . I know it was only Gold Coast but being a saints fan for 50 years any win is a good win. I'm sure I'm not the only supporter to take the walk of shame but when we win I am a better person to be around

I really wanted pick 11 in an uncompromised draft.

[desertsaint]

well no one celbrates a loss, so no regrets, but yes, little doubt we would have been better off with a loss. but then the world would have been better off if the germans had won the first world war, and no one is too upset about it.
