Re: Brad Hill - 3 more years
Brad Hill loves footy and loves to run, but under Brett Ratten the players ahead of him were never encouraged enough to keep offering multiple leads which is necessary when dodging, weaving and bouncing at his speed. Week after week after week I would watch this circus with our squad just standing around like stale bottles of p*ss watching him with their mouths open. Then on this forum I would read comment after comment about him not hitting the non-existent-targets with his kicks.
It got so bad that he started to demonstrate that he really was not enjoying himself at all. When Ross Lyon arrived the whole thing changed and I guesstimate that he encouraged Liam Henry to come to the Saints so his work could be fully utilised. Liam was living with Brad's family when he first arrived (may still be) and it's very obvious to me they just love playing together.
Just as well he was making really good money under his contract otherwise he'd have be out of here as it was under Brett.

Re: Brad Hill - 3 more years
Okay - but Brad will now be on a lot lower $$$ than it took to get him over - which Super Star was Banging Down the door to be a RW&B whilst Brad was being paid the big bucks??

Ha Ha
We had the Superannuation brigade lining up - Now with the talent coming through we may stand a chance.

Re: Brad Hill - 3 more years
Be a great contract extension…..he’s a tremendous mentor to the young guys …look at the way he’s goes to Darcy when he’s done some good plays or even made a mistake….that’s what we need from our elders , educate the young players coming through.
As for petes sake people he’s and outside runner he’s not there to be a tackling machine
