Re: Is Richo making it harder to attract quality?

Still don't have a single name of any Saints player that has wanted to leave under Richo's watch. 5 years now. Coming on 6. Still don't have anything (other than normal stuff) as to why a host of players have decided and were happy to switch over to the Saints under Richo's watch. 5 years now too. ...

Re: Why False Optimism Is Demented And Dangerous

The REALITY is that we finished 3rd bottom. I feel like even 3rd bottom is unrealistic. I mean Gold Coast don't even deserve to be counted. They really shouldnt be in the league at all. They are on a whole different level of bad. There was something very unedifying about Richo doing that fist pump ...

Re: Players who should improve

Maybe. Roll back a few years and we had a similar number of players but different names. Players like Dunstan Billings Acres McCartin Goddard - all high draft picks. None significantly improved. I hope you are right and I am wrong. Markworth, N Wright, S White, Murdoch.... I hope Richo has the man ...

Re: Why False Optimism Is Demented And Dangerous

Brett Ratten = Positive.
Would be nice to get a young fresh face in to the coaching panel.
Maybe someone like Dale Morris or something along those lines.

Re: Why False Optimism Is Demented And Dangerous

Legitimate optimism = winning > 8 games with a young list. False optimism = winning < 6 games with an average aged list. Our %age was = to 2 teams that won 8 games in 2018. %age is actually a great indicator of season long performance rather than win / loss ratio IMHO. How many games did we win? 4 ...

Re: More like it

However, if you believe, as I do, that the club is clearly getting its s*** together (imo made clear by a plethora of off-season additions off the field and a clear shift in direction), then power to you as well! Why silence someone for positivity? The same negativity was coming from all angles pri...

Most likely pick 19 or 20 in next years draft and four years at $500,000 plus a fifth year for Hannerbury!
4 years at $800,000.
