COME ON SAINTS – JUST ONE MORE

Come on Saints, just one more
The red and the whites, they need to roar
It's been thirty years, since the Mighty St. George
Ten with the Steelers, since the merger did forge
Five times since '79, into the big one
Left with nothing, no day in the sun
The last heartbreak in '99
A mile in front, feeling fine
The Melbourne Storm had other ideas
Penalty try, full-time, our very worst fears
Mortal enemies, came into the fold
Bennett, the saviour? Sailor, too old?
So, come on Dragons, dig to your core
Come on Saints, just one more

I barely remember, the good old days
'56 to '66 are merely a haze
Only twice since then, they've taken the prize
'77 and '79, our only two highs
“You'd die for that jersey!” Billy Smith once said
That white jumper, a Vee of blood red
Yes! We have the Minor Premiership
To all concerned, that's only a sip
Now! Only the next four weeks count
As the pressure on them begins to mount
First up, the Eels from Parramatta
Next up, who knows? It doesn't really matter
Bring them all on, that's what we're here for
Come on Saints, just one more

There's two sons of '79, in this side
Their father's smiles, a mile wide
Slippery's son, Brett, top try scorer of the year
Craig's son, Dean, a work rate, no peer
Unwanted by the Warriors, Nathan Fien
Were they crazy, he's no has-been
Darius Boyd, a Queensland star
An attacking force, his defence, on par
Ex-Storm player, Jeremy Smith,
More than a handful, to contend with
Big attacking/defending centres, Cooper and Scott
Other teams fear, what we have got
Origin front-rowers, Weymann and Poore
Come on Saints, just one more


Star of the year, Benny Creagh
Arm outstretched, four points, make my day
A top halfback, Ben Hornby
Wouldn't swap him for anybody
Then, of course, there's Jamie Soward
The season's hero, never a coward
A great kicking game, then watch him dance
Over the black dot, the ball, he plants
Then there's the big smiling W
Would you like Mr. Sailor running at you?
Nightingale, Prior, Costigan and Hunt reserves
Enough to rattle oppositions' nerves
You'd hire these guys to uphold the law
So, come on Saints, just one more

Then, they have one great coach
Seems to smile more, as newsmen approach
Twenty-one years at the Brisbane Broncos
We hated them, him, that's just how it goes
Replacing one of our favourite sons
He had his chances, but out were the guns
Eleven in a row, in the good old days
Can we start again, begin a new phase?
Minutes, hours, days and weeks, will tell
With enemies like Bennett and 'Dell
Now, our heroes, who would have thought
Make up for the battles, we lost, we fought
Come on Dragons, let's make a score
Come on Saints, just one more.

42 year Dragon Supporter​

First posts came and first posts went
Then entered St Ronald on a lyrical bent
Inspiring LU in chapter and verse
Desiring to undo a 30 year curse
Though rhyming Soward with coward was a trifle trite
We cowered and were overpowered by the poem's final might
So welcome Saint Ronald to the forum-du jour
Awesome first post we want more than one more

Good ol Jason Smith seems a harmless little f**k.. Watch out though, he could hit you with a surprise left.

Nice ode Banjo.. Post 2 has a lot of pressure on it.

42 year supporter? Must have been pretty painful to start supporting right at the end of our 11-year streak...

A post worthy of more grand an epithet
Shall we christen Saint Ronald
Saint Poet Laureate
To cover our year
In a manner so lyric
With detail and flair
With metre and pyrrhic
We tips our hats
And hold him in esteem
At his glorious verse
To our fabulous team

APOLOGIES TO JEREMY

Apologies to Jeremy
Slips of the pen, the memory!​

Thank you all for the compliments. I guess all Saints people are just that!

Very well done Saint Ronald. Enjoyed it.

I've followed the Dragons for 44 years. My HSC year was 1975, when we were flogged by the Rorters. I still today feel that pain.

Consider yourselves lucky if you saw the 1979 grand-final!

I'm sure a lot of fans weren't born then, or were too young to remember the match. I was born in 1978 ftl! And its why we take Grandfinal losses like 92/93/96/99 so hard.
