Age Article - Work experience kid

Post: # 1530446Post older saint »

Clearly this was written by the work experience kid. How can an article have so many basic errors in it is unreal

Hope our new pick McCartney is half the player our superstar Rooney is. Our coach Rich is doing a great job too.

comical!

Daniel Cherny is a Saints supporter, so I'm going to assume the massive stuff up occurred somewhere in translation. But I had exactly the same response, older saint.

At least the subbie got the headline right.

I hope Nick Reload can swim when he plays Brisbane at Moreton Bay.

Was this article a pisstake or the author a bit retarded?

You're kidding...Cherny is a Saint???? I've called him out on Twitter a number of times after horribly researched articles on the Saints. He must be the most fair weather supporter that we've ever had.

Yup. I had a crack at him myself here before, and someone posted that up in response. I then saw it mentioned somewhere else so I think it is right.

I think I'm going to email him. That article is more and more embarrassing the longer it stays up there!

Yep, that article is a shocker, in fact if it was April 1st, I'd be calling April Fools Day joke.

Certainly is a Saint. Drives around with a St Kilda number plate and has a mini museum of Saints memorabilia in his house.

He's probably trying too hard to come across as unbiased in his reporting and overcompensates -- a common problem.

I'm guessing it was a spellcheck error.
