Re: As bad an umpiring performance you’ll see.

Thought highmore had played on and was lucky to have the reset ……..and after 5 yrs of carrying on about umpiring……. You’ve just wasted your time n energy move on just watch the game Problem is rule says umpire has to signal play on before you tackle, so it has to be 50 Doesn’t matter what it looks ...

Re: Mason Wood vs Jack Newnes on the wing..

The difference between his best and worst has always been his issue. He can look like a world beater for a game or two and then not touch it for 3 weeks in a row.

Poor with the footy in hand.

The back 7 is our best 3rd but Howard and Paton have been ordinary
I agree
No obvious replacement for Howard or Paton really, Joyce is bot up to standard, could Byrnes replace Paton?

Re: Dreadful! But hardly new?

Yep simply demand more that will do it
How about we get membership up to 80k and get more than 30k to a game and then we can demand more from the club
We continue to be mediocre because supporters are apathetic and we don’t attract the best to manage the club
Simple as that

Such an easy target

Re: Frees for and against.

Not even remotely funny. Given the only 50 that resulted in a goal went there way. Still a 50 no one knows why it was awarded. Because we are in positive territory in free kicks received and you can no longer bitch and moan over the inequity of the total numbers, you are reverting to specific decis...

Coming from a skeptic who thought his time at the Saints was up, easily our best tonight and the best game I have seen him play for a while.
He took the game on used his pace and skill to give us every chance.
Well done and hats off on a very disappointing night.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Giants Round 6 2022

IMO the umpire made a mistake with one free kick against Howard. The 50 for dissent looked to me to be entirely consistent with the rule. I thought that as soon as Mackenzie started waving his hand around and yelling, there’d be a 50. And so there was. What about when king did it? What about when W...

Re: Paddy goes *WHACK* D’oh!

The problem with the concussion argument is the English non decision. Unless paddy absolutely hit day in the head and English absolutely didn’t then you can’t give one player 2 weeks and clear another.

How did the concussion occur, from the hit on the chin or the whiplash of the head!

Re: Ben Patton

Agree, why would we make one of our best defenders a mid? Baffling, smacks of trying to fit too many HBF in our team. We keep recruiting too much of the same player. Even Sinclair who can play mid, at least in rotations is an excellent running defender with elite disposal and decision making and goo...

Re: For the sake of our club, Hill has to be dropped

Dropping hill is like dropping Howard. You can’t, there is no one else to replace them. On occasions they both make mistakes, sometimes they need to be carried but they are the only ones that can give the team I. Hills case, line breaking run and Howard big body defence.

Re: Intra Club 17/2 4PM

What a terrible time to do this, and to make it some sort of member event is even more ridiculous.

A 4pm start you can’t even get school kids to.

They have lost touch.
They could of started it at 5:30 or 6pm and still had plenty of light and the girls could still have trained afterwards.

Pathetic
