Great player Thompson, was the Dean Cox of his time.

In an age of lumbering ruckmen Thompson was athletic and had pretty good skills. Peter Moore then took athletic ruckmen to a new level.

Josh Fraser reminds me a lot of Thompson but he is not as good overhead.

RIP!

On recruiting I see our position really simplistically. We had a bevy of top picks between 2000 - 2003 and picked 'no brainers' such as Rooey, Kosi, BJ etc and they have proven their worth. We didn't need the resourses of other clubs when we had these picks. As we moved up the ladder in '03, '04 &am...

I doubt we could get Judd, reasons as follows... 1/ Injury - you'd want to know he is not going to be hampered like L.Ball. 2/ Salary cap - we have Rooey, can any club afford two franchise players taking 30% of the TPP? 3/ How will players who have accepted less to stay at StKFC than offered elsewhe...

Roo in front of Mooney IMO, but the only Saint deserving of a place.

As for S.Fisher and those bagging Fletcher as playing as a loose man - hello! When Sam had his big games he was playing the loose sweeping roles.

Did Roddy end up selling the brighton Beach front mansion?

Here's a way to ensure you stay as president Rod.

Sell Juddy the mansion at a nominal figure (do a GT style vendor terms arrangement) as long as he comes to the Saints.

Take a look at the expertise of the challengers and tell me they lack the necessary financial management skills to be a viable alternative to the incumbents.

Re: Why a 'Detail' plan from SFF is irrelevant

There is a lot of talk here about some people waiting for 'detail' financial/business plan for the SFF before deciding whether to vote for them. This is an irrelevant side issue. Why? Ask yourselves: So what was Fox’s detail plan before he took over the saints? What was the Plymton’s board deta...
