It think it depends how bad their putting is. The analogy is sound, though. If you cannot make putts under pressure you are going to struggle to beat an egg. It's the key to winning. The ones who want to improve practice enough to be confident in their technique if not in the outcome. Anyone who's ...

I bet bug got a spray from the coach

I cringed at the way Dunstan was holding the ball for that set shot. Horrible. It is simply unacceptable. This is a multi multi million dollar industry and given the aim each week is to kick a winning score kicking for goal should be a prime focus. EVERYONE including the backmen should have a set r...

He is a beauty ... going to be a great footballer

Well done, Saints. Played mighty poorly but a very important 4 points to get. Well done bulls***! Kicked poorly at the start but straightened up when it mattered. We played poorly. The win was good and important...last quarter showed some guts. But we kicked 12 goals against a bottom 8 team that wa...

Dempsey also played a kick behind with no opponent for 15 years So true. But he played in an era when the game was not all about playing keepings-off. Don't know what the stats were in Demps era but the number of possessions per game during Roo's career have increased dramatically. Both are true ch...

I believe the alleged person was actually doing a right hand turn at Flinders street. The point duty policeman was allegedly dragged a couple of meters when he reached in to take the keys from the ignition .. Allegedly of course

The most incredible thing about this stat is that we are in the 8 - so we must be doing something right! This same thought has been playing on my mind since Sunday. Is the generally negative perception (as judged by the tone of this forum) of our overall performance this season failing to pay suffi...

I remember the crowds cheering when we actually got a kick... sadly we were that bad once... we are in heaven compared to then

Steadily improving Should be top notch next season ....Nice to see him drift into the forward line and take a big mark and goal, would like to see that a bit (lot) more often..

F*** a lot of you guys can turn on a dime. A lot were saying that we should have taken the Bont and that Billings was a bust. I think Billings has another 20% improvement in him. Sad part of Saintsational... The same group bagging just about every young player and writing them off prematurely , sam...

Nice whack TOT ... and well deserved.

<warning for baiting>

Good win, was a danger game for us... we havnt hit our straps yet but if we kicked straight it would have been a huge win Don't agree with it's how we win that's as important as what the ladder says... It says 4 more points than last week... At the end of the season it's his many points determine if...

Always pleased to get a win, regardless of all the doom a gloom predictions ...we are in the 8... if we can turn around our goal
Kicking then other things may start to fall into place we don't put enough score board pressure on sides at the moment.

It's Mencken .. by the way

Ahhh the education system raises its thorny head again. Designed to dumb the population down, conform to the standard. Sadly true academic minds have to tow the same lines and dish out the same crap if they are to " advance " in the same crap system.... Destroys the knowing of our true sel...

I honestly think you should, not being rude ...nothing personal, Your threads are usually somewhat balanced even if controversial .. The sky won't fall in, there's more to life ... go and give someone a hug. Like you I've been through a lot of angst with the Saints over 40 years... We've been a lot,...

P.S. I liked it better when only the tuff guy/outlaw types of footy had tattoos, e.g. Wow Jones :lol: The tatts kind of suited the likes of Kevin "Bulldog" Murray. WOW had a W tattooed on each cheek of his arse. I'll leave the "O" up to Your imagination.. it that's how he got hi...

It was actually HR Pufnstuf Kids show in the 70,s squarely aimed at the Hooch smokers HR was the slang for Hand Rolled ...the Pufnstuff need no explanation.

Just havin a McRest

Tough decisions for the selectors Stevens is a must in... Personally would like to see Roo take a week off (his lateral movement was almost non existent looks to be playing sore.) It's time to give Paddy a go either this week or next Weller has been below his best maybe Stevens can play his role. We...

Discovered while taking a shower apparently, not fondling his parts. It is recommende by the medical profession that Frequent self examinations should be "held" apparently. I may have been a bit before my time, as I recall during one very vigorous self examination my mother entered the roo...

Everyone will be shocked to hear that 'bud' has been cleared. Who plays on him. Carlisle has the height but not the tank or mobility. Probley Mr FixIt, Devo, with Robbo giving a chop out!!!!! who is Mr Fixit, I thought Carlisle will go to Buddy, because NJ Brown cannot move quickly enough I reckon ...

I've said this before.... a lot of the players call him Figjam. He's good he knows it , and let's everyone else know it. Bit like Buckley was......

Think he was the difference in the match, he's starting to hit his straps Maybe some can lay off knocking him for a while? Showed his class in his 50th guaranteed 3 Charlie's for this tound
