    Zac Lomax

    Nightingale never had to give up his regular position for an inferior player for the so called sake of the team. Yes he did play a few other positions in his twilight years to help the team out but he didn’t have to surrender his position on the wing permanently until such time as some one...

    Flanno's New Signings

    Very true but alas from then til now we did opt for Isaac Luke and that didn't go nearly so well. So jury out as to whether Nu is more Nathan than Isaac.

    Flanno's New Signings

    If that is the case then I humbly suggest that if you take your nose out of your arse you might smell and see things a bit differently.

    Flanno's New Signings

    Deathriding lol I’m simply offering a point of view as to how I see recruitment is unfolding at this point in time. I believe the Flanagan appointment was a stitch up with concessions going backwards and forwards between coach and club and I have seen nothing to change that opinion. You might...

    Flanno's New Signings

    Some arguments you can never win despite the logic applied The Nu Brown signing simply ensures Hunt @ 7 & therefore Kyle at 6. But evidently 1 try in 1 game counts for a lot.

    The Rumours Thread

    If it is about the "war chest $$$$" and adding $850 k to it to entice some marquis players then the war chest $$$$ could have also been equally enhanced by keeping Lomax and letting Hunt go (he asked often enough) and that would have been IMO a far more sensible outcome all-round. However I...

    The Rumours Thread

    There is a rumour that The Mole may have finally written a good sports article in saying that St GI officials should sit with Lomax during the contract cooling off period and try to reestablish a relationship in the hope of keeping him at the club.

    So how do you sit with JDB, Cake, Luc or are they all ok?

    Zac Lomax

    This is not actually in relation to our season but feel I need to make a comment as some of the commentary / character assassination on Lomax is IMO beyond ridiculous. Taking it as a given some of his behavior / actions has been juvenile, embarrassing, and plain stupid but to suggest he has...

    Gratitude Thread

    I'm grateful for being at the 64, 65, 66, 77 & 79 G F victories. I'm grateful when I was a little kid that mum & dad took me to KGO & SCG for so many games and dad carrying the esky with the devon and tomato sauce sandwiches and GI lime drinks in it because we were there for all 3 grades. I'm...

    Vale Keith Barnes

    A true gentlemen and good enough player to have captained and coached his club, city, state and country. No indiscretions in a long and distinguished career. As said above unlucky to play in an era of the most irresistible force ever seen in club rugby league otherwise he possibly gets a few...

    The best full back ever

    Sage 63 Apologies champion I was only thinking about the years when Norm was captain / coach and completely forgot about Sticks just coaching us in 68. Preston played that entire year at 1 so you are no doubt correct in Sticks somewhat misguided assumption.

    The best full back ever

    Not quite right D P came into 1st grade in 66 for a few games and then played full seasons in 67, 68. Sticks retired the year before. D P didn’t keep Changa in the centres rather with the loss of Gasnier Changa & Smithy both played centre to fill the gap which was huge and DP was adequate as a F B

    The best full back ever

    Who played at 78kgs and stood under all the high bombs, took countless hit ups and front on tackled the might of the Magpie's and Souths forward packs not to mention the English test side while defending his goal line.

    NRL 360 and FOX in general

    Heads, Chesterton, Frilingos, Clarkson were journalists and the useless lot now on Fox & Nine should never be referred to in the same vernacular.
