But we can make those responsible accountable for when we do stuff up and lose games and embarrass the club and us, the members.
Nobody has owned their mistake and accepted responsibility for the debacle Sunday and at least someone, or management collectively, should have. And if they don't make amends next week against Gold Coast in Townsville, then people in certain roles need to lose their jobs at the end of the season.
We shouldn't be so accepting of mediocrity. Especially when it is sustained over time.

I, and many like me don't because we never turn up in any any of these stupid matches.
Theme round or some kind of gimmick and rest assured, we'll get rolled.

So as for innovation...

How innovative would it be...

...to be a club that promotes excellence in everything it does, and stands for an uncompromising attitude to winning, outstanding performance and a relentless drive to succeed 365/24/7.

This is what I want our club to be:


Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.

Personally I'm looking forward to going to the 2021 match. Whilst I don't like the position we are in that we have to do this, it makes sense and is right for the now and the immediate future.

Your feet tread heavily upon the ground. Do you have a burden Grasshopper?
That's a humdinger! Sure don't write TV like that anymore.

I have read The Art of War about a hundred times I reckon. Great book by Sun Tzu.


Posters that have admitted they were wrong about Hanna's gastro and the club didn't create a cover story.

On Footy Classified Caro said we, the Saints, would get about $450,000 net for the Shanghai game.


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