    Round 1 Vs Bulldogs

    I'm conscious that it might be just a grumpy old man thing - but what the hell was with the post try celebrations? I thought it was really poor - if you will excuse the pun. I didn't understand the relevance of the money celebration to CT or his reason for doing it when we were getting beaten...

    Cody Ramsey

    He was fantastic in NSW Cup. Feels like it's only a matter of time until he plays first grade. As unlikely as that situation is.

    Flanno's New Signings

    Just looked this up. He started at Saints, then went to Canberra, Wests and then back to us. I had no recollection of that first stint which was 1981-83. Anyway - I’ll get off this tangent …..

    Dragons New Captain 2025

    Just Gutho for mine. Never understood multiple captains or leadership groups

    King Gutho linked to Dragons

    Big question mark for me is a replacement half for Hunt. That’s a pretty significant missing piece of the puzzle. I can’t really imagine K Flanno and Gutho in the halves so I’m going to hold off on any excitement about the signing until I know that’s not the plan. As for Lodge - in terms of...

    2024 Crowd Watch

    Saints should think about taking the Anzac Day game to Homebush every 2 years when it’s a home game. I reckon they would get 50K plus. And it avoids a situation like this year of playing the roosters twice at their home ground. Win-win. Not the games of course. They will be lose-lose

    everybody loves Raymond (Faitala Mariner)

    This guy should be the captain

    No More Excuses.

    Hook is going to get sacked soon so the Board has a scapegoat. But as most of us realise, the problems run a lot deeper than the coach. Let's not forget those issues when the new guy arrives, otherwise we'll be in the same position in another 3 years time. We still need a complete shift in the...

    Quality of NRL club CEOs

    With all of the drama over the Essendon CEO lasting only 30 hours in the job, it got me thinking about the type of candidate that is attracted to roles like that in the AFL vs the NRL. Andrew Thorburn was CEO of the NAB for 5 years which meant that he had something close to 40,000 people working...

    Dear Ben, time to sign the contract

    This was predictable of course which makes what happens next very interesting. Saints are holding all of the aces. Sullivan and Hunt both contracted for another 3 years. Sullivan not on massive dollars. Management's job is win a comp and we are stronger with both players in the squad. So why on...

    New recruits for 2023

    I'd be in the yes camp but I think with any signing, the $$ that we need to pay is the key question. We probably need to pay more for rep players because they don't want to play for an underperforming team with an average coach and little prospect of winning a comp so there is a premium for...

    JV stadiums

    Hi Willow, Agree that I'm no Wollongong expert. As I said - I've only been there twice that I can remember to watch a game. Once I sat on the hill, and the other time I was in the Northern grandstand. I also went to a Dragons training day there once. And when I describe both our grounds as poor...

    JV stadiums

    I understand that perspective. I've only been to Wollongong to watch the Dragons twice in 20 years. It's obviously not convenient for fans coming from Sydney - particularly if it is a late game and with no other grades to watch. I think I'm just triggered by seeing successful Sydney clubs that...

    Round 25 - our last game of pain

    I'll watch the game on TV out of habit but won't go to watch it and can't wait for the season to end really. The Tigers win was among the worst wins I have seen in my many years of following Saints. Moga is the slowest Saints winger I can remember (and I can remember Hassan Saleh). Frankly, it's...
