The facts are that Wests had the same open cheque book that you were taking shots at. They failed, so obviously it takes more than a bottomless pit of money. This fact alone has put a hole in your argument.
LOL! Facts morphing into mere stories.
Bobby, you seem unhappy about the club being financially successful.
Do you think it was unfair that Saints had good management?You were saying that money was the only reason for winning premierships. At best, a flawed argument.
I used the words money 'magically' appeared - as in your belief that it was all thanks to money, as if Saints were in possession of some sort of magic wand that made money do all the work.
Unfortunately you missed the point. There's obviously more to it than your 'open cheque book'. It was smart management.All clubs were subject to the same rules.
Well there were plenty of juniors as well, but don't let that get in the way of a 'nice story'. When Saints did recruit from outside the area, they usually did so from the country and Qld. Closer to home there was the residency rule... something else you overlooked. For example, John Raper had to sit out a season and live in the St George district before he could play for the Dragons. Hey, perhaps we could bring back the residency rule - it would do some justice to your district argument. That probably went over your head as well.
Enjoyed the movie.
But funny, I thought it was just a nice story. What happened to you 'keeping it real'? LOL!
In any case, I suspect you've clearly made up your mind. So good luck with your next magic wand theory.
