Positive ONLY thread

[redv13]

Posted this elsewhere by Vaughan was great, back to his form a few years ago.

Lawrie, whom I have called a bog average in the past, won me over with his reaction to the high shot on Dufty, and his aggressive hit ups.

It will be a rollercoaster year, but yesterday lifted my spirits, albeit in defeat.

I think some people on here in the past have labelled Lawrie a plodder which is so unfair. He does a lot of the tough ugly work and never takes a backward step. I’m tipping a big year under Griffin from blocker

Fair call.

I'm positive if we had of hit the front on the "no try" decision we would have gone onto win the game.

Our team had more second half aggression and meaningful output than we have seen in a long long time.

I'm also positive that Hook will get the balance right as to how much energy you need in the back end of the game to make sure you don't get totally gassed and run down when you are leading.

Fix the first 20 mins and the 14 point head start and I think the last 60 mins was fine compared to 2019/2020. Saints we’re getting on top and if the Ramsey try stands we come home hard. The Sharks were gone at that point and Saints were building nicely. Not reaching for the razor blades just yet but hopefully the first 20 mins was down to conditions, nerves and rust.

If my memory serves me correct, the boys have made similar school boy errors over the past couple of weeks. I put it down to a lingering case of McGregoritis.

Hook will need to beat it out of them, possibly some witchcraft or a rain dance of some epic proportion.
The signs of 'having a dig' continue to build which gives us fans something to hold onto.

With the Cowgirls getting flogged over the weekend, we must be at reasonable odds to snag a win next weekend.

True that, OT.
I was livid after the no try incident and when the Sharks scored micro-seconds thereafter, the wife was one zero from calling triple O.

If we continue to improved each round, l'll be reasonably happy, providing of course, the refs don't continue to do us over. That game was disgraceful.

$2.65 to win. Massive overs against a very poor cowboys team who didn’t even score a point on the weekend

Think so too Ted! Unfortunately, i just don’t believe that the confidence that’s needed will click in after one game, but there were good signs to build on.
Despite the recent media narrative that we should be going better with the team we have....Saints confidence has been shot for at least two years and its been obvious.
If they can build on last Sunday they’ll start believing in Hook. It will take a bit of time and pain and i don’t necessarily believe they’ll beat the Cowboys this weekend. Unfortunately, i feel were just short a couple of good footballers and have players still learning whilst playing in First Grade, but things will click and a i think they’ll build a solid platform under Griffin.

The cleanout will not be complete until the end of the 2023 season when Hunt's contract expires. Some of our problems disappear when Norman and a few others move on at the end of this season but our problem is more than just our roster.

I wonder what would it take to move WIN Corp / Gordons to being sponsors rather than owners. The Board and a few people in management are holding up the natural progress of our club.

The Illawarra element which includes WIN Corp and the Gordons, pine for the day that SGI move to Wollongong completely. I believe the NRL are also locked into this idea. That is why I am all for a return to the St George at Kogarah idea. The idea of being locked into Wollongong does not make sense.

I say go back to fostering our St George District junior clubs and the local competitions. Like all other clubs, recruit who we need be they from the Illawarra or elsewhere. For goodness sakes, partner with a professional company who has a plan to improve the standing of St George.

The restructure of our Club and Board would be an essintial part of this change. I say have our Board members be accountable for their decisions by giving Red V Members the right to vote in members of our Board. Also give our Red V members the opportunity to buy shares in our Club.

My young fella and I are in Kiama from Port Macquarie for a Rugby League tournament this week. We went past Win stadium today to see if we could get a glimpse of a player or two on the way down. Long story short, we were seen near the fence and invited in to watch training. Every player there made an effort to say g’day to us and speak with my son. The staff were awesome also. My son is a Saints tragic as am I and that was something he will never forget. Josh Maguire gave his hat to him to top it off. Just wanted to share my good news story as the good rarely rates a mention in the press etc.

That speaks volumes about the culture at our club. Hope it can translate more to the footy field like rounds 2-5.
