Gotta say Bruce's mark looked better live from that flank than on video replay, but I think Nic Nat will just pip him due to his pack-busting, dare I say it, Kosi-style grab! Have to agree on both things. Bruce's mark looked better live and Nic Nat will win mark of the year. The guy is an absolute ...

I still cannot believe we extended Hickey's contract. He & our 2nd would've been perfect for Carlisle. Ever thought that we extended his contract so that he COULDN'T just walk? At 24 he hardly played this year, wouldn't surprise me if he wanted out for more opportunities He was already contract...

if we can somehow get 2 first rounders (12-18) for pick 5 and then get carlile and aish i would be pretty happy with that. use our 2nd rounder and package someone like saunders/curren and move a couple of spots down i would call that a pretty good trade period We need to stop thinking those type of...

I'll be renewing my social club membership so I'm guaranteed a grand final ticket for when we make it next year

Great stuff stuff CQ SAINT. Would have been a great experience. Can anyone please tell me what a Patron Saint membership is/was? Thanks heaps. For anyone interested I contacted the club about these tickets. The reply I got was "A patron member is someone who donated money in a bid to eliminate ...

I just got reminded that Ski season starts in the first week of June... So maybe we should request to play in NZ during mid-year school holidays? http://www.newzealandski.co.nz/new-zeal ... ing-dates/ I'm not sure that having a freezing winter holiday in Christchurch would be high on anyone's list ...

If there was a suitable stadium in Auckland (which I don't think there is) then they should look into that. It has a larger population than Wellington which could mean more supporters for us. IMO it is a nicer city than Wellington so could also mean more fans from Australia fly over to see the game.

Same here. I think Ross is way too slow and can be easily covered if we lose him. I didn't think Newnes would make it as a player but he has impressed me this year. Having said that I'm not sure I'd want Carlisle at the Saints either.

I've always rated Talia from Bulldogs, gets a lot of the ball for a tall defender. Interesting.. Tony74 said a few weeks back that Carslise was a done deal to Carlton so we'll wait an see.. No it as jaxons who said it back in August, he seemed pretty confident about it. Correct. It was jaxons - not...

Cheers Teflon. Is he reliable with his info?

Who said a popular player?

Don't be surprised if Tom Hickey is a Bomber next year. that's my feeling. Could be a swap of players plus picks Straight swap would be fine, unless the draft picks are coming our way. Carlisle may have to serve a suspension yet, so any deal should be weighted in our favour!! Would prefer Longer to...

I wasn't being critical of him. I'm a big fan of Eli's. I think his confidence with his arm would be very low and could be why he had a poor year. I'm hoping that next year he can get back to his form of early last year.

Always thought that eli was the best comparison to him I wish! Based on this season Eli's best comparison is someone like Allan Murray. Couple of good games at the start then a lot of very quiet ones. In some ways Eli reminds me of Goose McGuire. Both had bad breaks in limbs and never come back the...

Because they had the same hairdo??

That psychic won't be doing any readings this week due to unforeseen circumstances.

Only if he doesn't dispose of it correctly

No - only if he is tackled (as I said unless the rule has changed)

Won't happen. I'd put your house on it.

Put your own house on it - not mine .

I also doubt they'd get a priority pick.

Unless the rule has changed if a player takes the ball out of the ruck and gets tackled it is a free kick.

Why is it Nic Nat can consistently take it out of the ruck, get tackled but not get pinged?

Well P66, I expected this season that we should have improved over the shocking 2014 season, and we did, and 6.5 games was at least an improvement. Richo has problems with his defensive strategies, especially in the midfield, and the "yeah no, we were beaten with the outside run and spread&quo...
