the st george board is a joke dave, you will have think of new material.have you heard the joke about the ex footballer, he walks into saints and says for 300k a season i will coach your team, doust being quick witted says sure what have we got to lose.. only the last five seasons.
Despite my Sharkies birthright and my warm feelings towards the Illawarra side of the JV, I dont want to cause any genuine affront to the Saints club or its members or fans.
Up until recent seasons, youse were scurrying along nicely now you seem to be in a hole and are not looking like being able to clambour out of it in the forseeable future.
Doust has refused to say that ex footballer is not expendable.
Substantial pressure on all in 2008. The dogs are barking.
We only gave JT 2 years to prove himself. He's got us to the finals too... but as far as I know, no official extension. It will probably be negotiated next year. Everybody is keen.
Generally, long contracts and coaches dont sit comfortably with me.
Bennett and Bellamy are probably exceptions to that rule.
As a group, from what I know, if you do better than 12th next year, that would be over-achieving.
It must break your heart to have a rabbitoh fan say that with some conviction!
