Re: 2020 Membership Packs

I got mine yesterday, and to be quite honest all I was interested in was the little card with Gresh on it and the scarf.

I got a shirt this year and was fairly surprised that it fits perfect. This isn't always the case for me unfortunately, with online purchases etc

Re: Premiership clock according to the Hun.

Thanks Saynta We have some very astute people involved in recruitment (now), so I would expect that improvement will occur. Yes, there will be plenty of pressure to perform, especially for a couple of young players, but we also have a very astute coach (again) If they can get on a bit of a 'run' lik...

Re: best 22 round 1

Well Carlisle has shown he isn’t one of them Slow as a wet week as a forward, doesn’t like an opponent checking him too closely and doesn’t apply defensive pressure due to his lack of agility. Battle could be moved, although he played better at CHB than he showed forward of the Centre. Not a great ...

Re: Jack Bytel's progress from his back injury

As a physiotherapist, I can say bulging discs can vary from causing no problem at all to more serious issues. I'd be more interested if they mean a herniation or a sequestration of the disc and whether it caused canal stenosis or nerve impingement. He required surgery so it must have been quite ser...

Re: BJ ranks saints midfield.

Some of those midfielders at the druggies are a little difficult to get a grasp of for mine. In a head to head battle, we'd get roughly the same numbers of deep entries, where generally they have been as efficient at kicking goals as us i.e. shyte. Where they can be really good though, is the sustai...

Re: Marshall over the moon

King is being way overrated for guy that hasn't debuted yet. Remarkably some feel he's already become automatic selection. Hi SK, expectations might be a little high yes, but the bloke was taken at #4 so rated pretty high (actually by our club, not just SS). The bloke he was going to have to compet...

Old school Saints thinking. I don't care if you were there when Max was conceived. If Max get's a game purely because he's remotely fit and the club are paranoid he'll request a trade then he will be the genesis for this current rebuild failing. Let's hope he earns his spot by pushing a player out ...

Re: 1 to 4 year players first training run

The one thing I took from that was Long to play down back? Love the message he gave the boys though. It’s exactly what we have needed. The young ones to push the seniors out of their spot. Would love to see Sandy pushing up the ladder in the VFL, with that flowing over to the AFL. I had a bit of a ...

Does anyone know what the status is regarding his recovery. Is he ready to join in full training? He's been training as normal with the rest of the 1st to 4th year players. It will still be a very difficult task to make the senior side for young Jack. This is great news, and I hope that his future ...
