    Flanno's New Signings

    Interesting that you say I cant have it both ways but in your post you do exactly that. "You can't blame the quality of a squad for a loss. But you CAN blame the quality of a squad for a performance over an entire season or for their consistency / lack of consistency." You're blaming the...

    Flanno's New Signings

    In our win v Penrith & Melbourne we played very well and the wins were well deserved as our opposition didn’t play poorly. In our win v Manly they played putrid footy and we should have lapped them several times which we failed to do. Unfortunately we had lots and lots of putrid moments in...

    Billy Smith - Legend who hasn't been shown true Respect by NRL & media

    George Evans was so good that it allowed Billy to play in the centres when required Saints were blessed with options and having unbelievable depth across so many positions although centre was probably our worst. https://www.nrl.com/hall-of-fame/players/billy-smith/

    Billy Smith - Legend who hasn't been shown true Respect by NRL & media

    There is no 1 player to compare him with but this might give you some sort of idea. He had the cheek, guile and kicking skills of Alfie. He had the toughness and resilience of Raudonikis and Foran. One season he broke his fore-arm in 2 places and had it plated and bolted and turned out for the...

    Billy Smith - Legend who hasn't been shown true Respect by NRL & media

    Billy was always a pugnacious wild child mixed in with a healthy amount of the mischievous Puck. At the SCG one GF they had the cavalcade of sports cars with their roofs down with lots of greats sitting on the back waving to the crowd and all of a sudden Billy hops the fence from the outer and...

    Billy Smith - Legend who hasn't been shown true Respect by NRL & media

    I loved Billy as a player and saw a lot of his career and fair to say he was great player in a very tough era and of course had to change from unlimited to 4 tackle rule and did so successfully whereas many did not. Back to back Sunderland medals in test series against the Poms and Kiwis shows...

    King Gutho linked to Dragons

    No we are more of a BBQ club so maybe get Paul & Matt to run one so we can get JAC, Lodge and maybe entice Fergo to make a come back?

    Flanno's New Signings

    You’re delusional I never said or even eluded to sacking S F. Now how about you just answer the questions I posed to you seeing as you thought my post was laughable.

    Flanno's New Signings

    WTF are you trying to say Are you saying that we lost games due to the K F suspension? Are you saying that we didn’t get pumped by some big scores? Are you trying to say that in games we didn’t capitulate and let teams run up big scores against us some after we had a half time lead? Are you...

    Flanno's New Signings

    Nothing to laugh about it’s the sad reality of who we are. Other teams put plenty of points on us and if that wasn’t bad enough they often did it quickly and broke whatever little spirit we had.

    Flanno's New Signings

    What a load of old codswallop that we would have made the semis if K F wasn’t suspended. He is not the playmaker nor a dynamic match winning player in our team. At very best he is solid and that’s it. If people really think he was the difference in the last 4 games then you are sadly...

    Flanno's New Signings

    Did Flanno really out perform the coaches at Broncos, Souths, Parramatta or did they severely under perform considering what they had in their ranks? I humbly suggest that Broncos, Souths, Parramatta immediately reacted to unacceptable performances and know that they should have finished above...

    Zac Lomax

    FMD you go off like fire cracker on Guy Fawkes night. Wake up to yourself my post was not bagging S F in any fashion whatsoever. I merely pointed out that Lomax is entitled to his position and opinion. You very conveniently left out the bit where I said “someone of Lomax’s personality type”...

    Zac Lomax

    He is the one in the sheds and on the raining paddock so he is entitled to his opinion. There is not 1 player at the club in the last 5 years who has trained harder, more professionally, more dedicated and presented himself on the field in top class condition than Zac Lomax and all the while he...

    $300k for about 24 games spread out over 2 years not bad money if you can get it.

    Needless to say this little bloke wasn't bad either. As Rex would say "He's gapped em' or "you can put down the glasses".

    Bishop & Millward were also mesmerising. They were doing what that buffoon Johns was doing long before him and all with a leather ball often covered in mud and water logged.

    At 19 he was already a genius in the era of no protection and plenty of very tough men targeting you.
