What an absolute star, set us up early with that goal. But the courage to go back with the flight, it was quite reminiscent of the mark against Sydney a few years ago.
It was a real team performance today - even though Riewoldt kicked 3 he didn't seem to be the focus when going forward. The goals were shared around - McQualter, Milne, Schnadzo and a few others all chipped in.
I'm a bit reluctant to respond given my rather obvious adulation of Saint Nick. But, at the risk of repetition, if there has ever been a better Saints player in the my last 48 years of watching, I've missed seeing him. Right up there with likes of Doc, Stewie, McIntosh, Barker, Lockett and Winmar.

I tend to agree.
He is week in week out a top performer
I have criticised his captaincy in the past but he is now the complete package. What about his goal on the run. Brilliance, leadership, audacity.

That was a lovely goal from 55 metres, team-lifting. Sidestep and all.
I felt really bad about not giving him a vote & in hind sight maybe i should have but what an inspiration he is to the team.He is an out & out champion that leads from the front that puts the team first no matter what the situation.Saintsational captains game Rooy I love your work
Thought we did look to him a touch more than required at times...but...God..what a mark that was..and anyone who says he doesnt slot the absolute crunch goals now..rocks in their head.
The complete package is our Roo..and bleeds for the Club...look at his reaction when the siren went..should have just slumped to the ground exhausted but pumped his fists hard.
