To be accurate, one Friday game was 2 pm (Melbourne), we had a Sunday 4 pm game (Roosters) and a Saturday 7.30 pm game (Sharks). We also have coming up a Saturday 7.30 pm (Manly), Sunday 3 pm (Canberra) and actually Monday night (Penrith). I think there's also a Sunday Warriors game.
Yes, we've had lots of Friday night games, but these have been chosen by Channel 9 because as a club we are popular and if you look at the competition table, we've also justified that by being successful.
As a Saints supporter I'm sort of glad we don't have too many rep players, because of the fear of injury. It also highlights that we have a well-trained team, rather than the superstars that others have. That may become a downside as the year progresses, but we can only hope. However, I do feel sorry for those who've missed out. I hope it inspires them to show they should have been chosen, rather than being demoralised about it.
'Ala Melbourne Stormf**k city/ country.
Ask Daniel Abraham if he thinks its a good idea........
I'd rather have the players available at club level thanks.

Nice to meet you, in case you are lost this is the Saints part of the forum mate.
If you want to see a team delay play the balls, go watch a few others that specialise in laying down beside the tackled player therefore interfering with the dummy halves options when the ball is played despite having ample time to assume a position at marker.
As for delaying the play the ball with tackling, well when you grab the opposition and drive them back quiet a few metres I believe that to be a dominant tackle and hence the extra time.
Saints are treated no differently to any other team in that regard.
The Sharks were ill disciplined in many regards, that's why they got raped in the penalties.
Wow you guys are actually complaining about it. Seriously consider yourselves lucky...
In the opening 8 rounds St George has played seven Friday night games at 7.30 and one Saturday match at 5.30. While other squads play at all times.
They play another 5 games at 7.30 timeslots on those two days between now and Round 18. No Monday night games for the Dragons. No short preparations to contend with.
Key play maker for the leading nrl team (Soward) hasn't been disturbed from club duties for rep selection.
That is some fortune there.
You have 9 days to prepare for it, and the Bye afterward to compensate for it.
Actually it highlights the fact that you delay the play the ball of other teams and are continuously inside the 10. Which is the key reason to your success, but also to your inability to do so in finals footy where the play the ball is sped up by the refs
The reason why we beat your bag of wank excuse for a team and the others this year is because we are a BETTER SIDE. The only team better than us this year thus far was the storm...and im sure you can sympathise given the history of your dirty club, but they are cheats. Why dont you take off the the petty hatred and give it up to a damn good team.
by the way - you have a really sh*t player as your avatar.
