Is Liam Pickering his manager ?

I am pretty sure he is ...

That would make GT's comment a little more concerning, seeing as he works with Pickering on SEN.

Or am I just being paranoid ?

[asiu]

i'll blow a fuse if kosi goes anywhere...


the word (as i understand it ) was that kosi wants in ...ready to sign ....weeks ago

Kosi is a marvellous player, but - if (as has been rumoured) he is holding out for a longer contract and can get it from one of the more desperate clubs then St Kilda would be right to let him go IMO.

His career could be over in the twinkling of an eye: can anyone imagine that he would be able/allowed/want to play on if he got another massive hit in the head during a game? He is therefore not the sort of player you build a team around, and any club that offers him the sort of long-term, high salary contract that you offer to such players would have to have rocks in its collective head.

We don't need the grief, given that we already have Hamill on such a contract.

Other clubs might be making polite inquiries, but I'd be astonished if any club ends up seriously offering a longer-term contract than the Saints have done. They've all seen what happened with Hamill as well, not to mention Nathan Brown (and his injury problems weren't even predictable).

Kosi will sign soon, take my word for it!!!!!

[satchmo]

Kosi will sign soon, take my word for it!!!!!

Happy to believe you, but your signature gives me little confidence !

[saintspremiers]

Kosi will sign soon, take my word for it!!!!!

Of course he will!

Can't believe all the worry warts on here!

I'll be worried if he's not signed by October.

[Leo.J]

We go through this for every contract, dead set people, just bloody well relax!

He won't leave unless he's unhappy, which from all reports he's not.

As I've said b4 who is the last big name players to leave purely for money?

Kosi will sign.

[Teflon]

Kosi will sign soon, take my word for it!!!!!

Thats all I need.

The worlds a better place with you in it.

cheers.

this argument is pointless

Riewoldt could break his neck this week after a hit similar to Bell from Melbourne, so, would u say we can't build a team around him?

the same thing could happen to any player in the league, Kosi is as likely to cop a career ending injury as any other player

Kosi IS a guy you build a team around, we MUST keep him

Kosi has shown that he has extremely poor awareness and peripheral vision, so he gets himself into dangerous situations more than most players. And with his history of severe concussion, you would imagine that it would be of major concern if an incident like that happened again. Another monster collision and bleeding on the brain and it is goodbye Kosi.

I am a massive fan if Kosi and rate him as our most influential player, but if he wants a 3-year deal on 400k he's dreaming. It is just too much of a risk to sign him (on a high salary) for more than 2 years.

[SaintWodonga]

Good enough for me!

[snoopygirl]

IMO, it's too much of a risk if we don't sign him up long term. I feel his injury concerns are now behind him & if we don't sign him up, imagine him running around for another team carving us & every other club up. Better that he do it in the red, white & black.

Thanks for your reassurance 3:16.

That was as much about us wanting to get rid of him as anything else. For all his abilitity, and he has plenty, with him it has always been about him and not the team. I very pleased when we let him go.

No problem! I personally wasn't that worried about it, but it still makes you relieved to hear that kind of news, just to settle the tiny doubt in the back of your head!

[Animal Enclosure]

I'm very surprised that two quality poster (Meher & MSG) consider Kosi expendable.

$400k each yr for 3 years...lock it in.

Kosi is a gun & this severe concussion rubbish, well Luke Ball has had more head knocks that Kos...is he expendable?

[jk23]

We need Kosi any player can get hurt he has had no control over the unjuries he has had .... Bombers did not dump Hird his injuries have been some beauties!!!!!

[maxfactor]

It is because you are stalking him JK23. You have him scared !!

[melton girl]

l know what you mean maxfactor about jk23.
don't worry jk23 it will be over soon and you can sleep knowing that kosi is a true saint

[Teflon]
