John Bingley for stopping Tuddenham.

Now, maybe Membrey

Barry Lawrence was sensational.

Matteas Phillipou has received champion utility Daryl Griffith’s number. If he can emulate the number 25’s feats of the ‘60s, then the Saints are on the way to building a successful dynasty. Griffiths was instrumental in us winning the ‘66 flag.
31 is an awesome number as well!

I reckon NWM looked as skinny as a rake - not that it matters in his position Last time Hill played wing for a period he was poor Hopefully he’s got a bit fitter And we have a gameplan that suits wingmen …and that he’ll hit the ball hard, as well as getting a bit of defensive and tackling aggression.

Worsfold, if he’s available. Should’ve got the job years ago. He interviewed for the Saints’ role, instead we let the Eagles grab him.

Plus Lyon can’t be trusted. Once bitten…

Coz Howard is marshmallow soft!

See if Freo would like seagull Hill back. He’d go well hovering at Kailis Fish Market. Perhaps they could handball Acres back if the Saints said that the coaches had their fingers crossed behind their backs when the swap was made.

Free Lions everywhere

Static boring ball movement

Work it the fk out Ratten

Predictable pedestrian football.

Cannot play back.

Too true ‘66. He’s a deadset liability.

Totally clueless football from us. Stop, prop and telegraph your passes. Are the players trained to do that? They do it so well. I’m sick of Richmond rejects staging for 50 metres, yet won’t get a hard ball.

Howard just guards space. No pressure!!!

Because he thinks he hears footsteps.

Weak as pizzz effort by King!

Stagnant, predictable, boring football by us. Slow as a wet week through the centre corridor, especially when chasing.

Too young to see Stewart at his best but in my old man's opinion Ditterich & Stewart were the best Saints players of his era ... In the period where it mattered, 1965-66, Ian Stewart was not only our best player, but the best in the League. I rate Bob Murray as our second best player with Darre...

Thanks guys, appreciate it. I'm 64 and I'm really believing I will never see my team win another premiership. But, as I said earlier, I just don't see any drive, hunger, desire from this club to be successful, they seem happy with the status quo. A successful club would not be handing Leathean the ...

What a disappointing, plodding, error-filled game. The strategy of holding onto the ball and then bombing it into the forward line is a dismal failure. A rangy, wrestling King is easily outmanoeuvred. I lost count of the amount of times a Saints’ player received the ball 10 - 15 metres in the clear,...

Heading off to Optus to watch today’s game. Which Saints’ team will turn up. Hopefully, it’s the ferocious, hard at the ball and strong tackling team playing with flair, dash and fiercely for each other.

“In this space…” blah, blah, blah. Ratten is just uninspiring.

Not committed to any contests!!! Apt comment!

Disgraceful lack of skills on display. No general in defence.

There’s a distinct lack of a tough, on-field director. There is no motivational, hard edge.

A bit harsh on NWM and the other youngsters. They’ve played half a dozen games Vortex. They’ll keep making mistakes and growing and improving. What sort of improvement are you going to get from Billings, Ross, Crouch, and Jones No leadership for the inexperienced players to guide them sadly Or hard...

Ratten has lost the team. The players aren’t playing for each other, supporters or members. The malaise seems too deeply entrenched to be turned around at short notice, especially with mealy-mouthed platitudes coming from the coach.
