Anyone heard this story before?

[Warabrook saint]

Ask Laurie Daley.

He trailed pre season with the Steelers, before signing with the Raiders. Steelers told him he was too slightly built and not ready for the big league. Told him to go back and play one more year of Country league, then try out again the next year. Signed with Raiders instead, and the rest....well you know.....

Exactly the same thing happened to Steve Rogers. Saints told him to play one more year in the bush when he trialed because his father was a big saints supporter . He signed with Cronulla a week later

Anyone hear this story : one of my favourites ....... A couple come to the boarder , sign reads no pets allowed , the wife panics .... " What will we do " the husband says " Don't worry I'll put the snake in my trousers , you put the skunk in your pants ..... She says " What about the smell " and he says , "Well if it dies it dies "........ Boom Boom

Still don't get how they could confuse a winger with a halfback, which is the position Buderus was playing back then. Surely Saints aren't that dumb?

Well that was foolish of them.

Not much has changed

i heard Laurie Daley trialed with steelers, they told him have another year in country league, then come back , huge mistake

 

[Warabrook saint]

Had Saints signed Steve Rogers as an 18 year old, two more premierships to the record I reckon. Had Steelers signed Laurie Daley as an 18 year old big chance they may have won a stand alone premiership or two, the same way Andrew Johns led Newcastle to a couple. I'm pretty sure the three of them hit first grade as 18 year olds and carved it from the get go

stop and think about what you just wrote.

Daley may have inspired them, Steelers had some good players around the early nineties. They pushed us to the end in 92 when we made the grand final against the Broncos in a semi ,3 to 2 the score was I think. They also beat the donkeys in a midweek final around that time

StGeorge 4 Illawarra 0. Saints beat Newcastle 3-2 the week before courtesy of a Peter Coyne field goal

I heard a story that Daley signed to switch to Saints at some point but had second thoughts and Saints released him from the obligation
