Delaney

[jonesy]

Probably the most underrated recruit of the year. If playing in a good side this guy would be noticed. Champion data released a stat 2 weeks ago that I can't remember exactly but him in top 2 for defenders.

200 game rock for the saints

Has definitely grabbed his opportunity with both hands. Good move by the recruiters/list managers to get him !!

[Munga]

I don't under rate him. Fkn gun.

[maverick]

I like him, always did.

[perfectionist]

He's number 1 of 6. We now need to find the other 5.

[The Redeemer]

The fact he came so cheap makes it even better. If we can somehow find a few more cheap gems then it will assist greatly.

I was terrible opposed to recruiting Delaney on the pure basis of him being part of an average side for a good few years. How wrong was I.

Very Happy he is around!

[Spinner]

Been great! Strong.

[PADDLEPOP1001]

Weller & Templeton may well be bargains also,Savage better today!

Agreed, his bro is meant to be better, and still cant get a game at Norf... make the move Cam! Then have Brucey as a swingman.

He was fantastic today, but has been really good all year. I was a bit worried after seeing his first few games, but he has improved just about every game. You rarely see him lose a one on one contest.

Go Del!

Agree with every comment! I really believe that during a relatively short period, a lot of folk will be eating krud over some of the negative stuff posted about the team building that we are experiencing ATM. Bruce and Delaney will be vital parts of a strong Saints defence. I see nothing but good times in the future with the rebuild.

[remboy]

Quite comfortable with us having Delaney instead of Mitch Brown. Good in one on ones and managed to take a few grabs today.

Exceptional recruit well done Saints....

[saintbob]

Great game

[BigMart]

It was actually a desperation pick after Mitch Brown fell through?!

And he has worked out very well ... IMO he's better than brown at less than half the price

Thought he might be a Maister.... He's ended up a steal!

I totally agree. Plays very tight and backs himself in. Just what we needed so desperately.

[avid]

He won so many one-on-ones today -- he was geat to watch.
I too started off very cool towards him, but am becoming a big fan.

Is that a question or a statement? I mean, I see a question mark there, but it looks like a statement, confusing...

Anyway, I disagree with it regardless, how can it be a desperation pick after Brown fell through if it occurred a full 12 months down the track? If we'd gotten desperate we would've grabbed anyone in that year we tried to get Brown.

I see it as the recruiters doing their job properly, scouting lists and picking up the best available, I am surprised with how well Del has gone but I am happy with their choice.

Record books with indicate that we got him for a steal but they wont show that he wouldn't have been so cheap without us gifting them Dal Santo.

[Saint wagga]

Agree with all posts...he looks to have built confidence as the season has worn on, and hopefully as he plays with the same players more, he will be confident with disposal by foot and offer a bit the other way, can't fault his 1:1 work...perhaps doesn't have the best closing speed, but that's being very high end picky

I'm told the Brown deal fell through at the very last minute. No fallback options possible that year. No doubt Brown was our preference but currently it's looking like we got a better result twelve months down the track.

i was wrong about delaney...please to admit it too...the boy can play....
