Then must have dropped the "s" off the end of his surname as well

If people can call Steven Stevens then I can call Billing Billings.

IMO

Bruce a certain IN for the injured Gilbert

One of Lee or Maister

One of Steven or Curren

One of Billings or Saunders

The Crows forward line has 2 talls...then a lot of smalls.

Do we make a one week "horses for courses" decision to bring in Bruce to play on the 198cm Jenkins rather than Bruce?

Either that or Gwilt goes to Pods with Delaney on Jenkins.

Not really he didn't even get on the ground - sat on the bench for the whole of the game and didn't even join in on the victory lap

On the subject of Billings, on Saturday it will be 17 years to the day since I drove through Billings, Montana.

I consulted my 1997 diary and we fuelled up there. Petrol was $1.39 a gallon.

IMO Bruce will play for the Saints this week because we will need his extra height playing then and the following weeks! Billings will be emergency and won play.


SAINTS another day older another day closer to the Holy Grail!

"Then people aks me how I went, or how many kicks I got."
And Billing just laughs because the reality is he never got on the ground, sitting on the boundary bench in his dressing-gown for the entire match.
He didn't even do the obligatory boundary line warm-ups you see interchange players performing today, Billing just sitting there and wondering if his time would come.
His fellow reserve Payze got on in the last quarter to replace 17-year-old rover Allan Davis, Payze at least picking up a kick and a mark.
"At one stage during the last quarter our back pocket/ruckman Brian Sierakowski started to limp. I thought `stuff that', I'm not going to replace him.
"Our coach Allan Jeans didn't speak to me before or after the game but I don't blame him because the game was that close, he couldn't have made a change."
When the siren sounded with the Saints one point ahead, Billing remained in his dressing-gown and watched on as the players did their victory lap.
He hadn't done anything and as such didn't think he should be part of that traditional moment.

Amazing. I knew he didnt play but to not do the lap of honour just amazes me.

1997- it's an omen...we will make the grand final, Billy Longer and Steven will gang tackle Goldstein and pop his shoulder in the prelim.....

Well either that or Billings will be the new Montagna?
