Re: Seating for Thursday Night
Any issues getting tickets.
3 of our 4 Saints memberships are saying no upgrades...with the other one I am able to purchase 2 seats.
Why would it be saying that...I haven't selected any upgrade
Feel like a luddite and its annoying me.

Re: New Saint Marches into his Dream Club
Is it the general consensus that he has a 'big tank'....or is that code for he is slow..?! Is it one or the other for all players (generalisation) that if you don't have solid leg speed then you are 'obviously' an endurance beast....or have a 'big tank'.

Re: Big Fish No 2
Are we falling for the Messiah fallacy again? A Martin would be nice but our continued improvement will probably come from the growth in younger players. Also, better team defence and ability to implement a game plan and change the system, particularly when we have lost control of the play will mak...

Re: Changes v Swans
Parker did no more or less than Sinclair
Ross - injured or rest / out
Bytel - in...get a few games into him
With the cluster of games ahead and short breaks we do need to rotate the squad a little
and keep 25 or so 'match fit'

Re: Carlisle on trade table
Leadership group were consulted and they were comfortable with Carlisle being put up for trade.
Very average bloke by all reports and the players are more than happy if he is traded out.
Just what l was told.

Hopefully he is gone and by continuing to play him they are fattening him up for market.

Re: Saints watching Goldstein
The head coach arrived in 2014.

Re: 24 hours later
Newnes should be traded, not just dropped. Average and not going to improve. Bring in Coffield to play Newnes' position. An article during the week about forward entry efficiencies and ball retention once inside 50 (for memory) had Newnes' top 5 in the league. This is a case of stats not being reali...

Re: Should we let Newnes explore elsewhere?
No. Rather than "let" him explore I'd be hoping that he's ENCOURAGED to explore. He's the perfect embodiment of the stagnation and mediocrity that now pervades our ranks. He is definitely not rated inside the club as a leader any longer (he was at the start of the year). His 1 tackle in t...
