Woolford did his shoulder today against the Dogs and will be a year older next year. I'm know I'm stating the obvious but Saints have great forward depth and surely there are better prospects in the lower grades?

It's a strange signing from where I sit and with his judiciary record and injury record, I'll have to reserve judgement until I see him round around in red and white.

The reason suggested (from a reliable source ;-) ) is that Woolford may work well to help tighten up the halves. Saints are stretched in that area what with the injuries to Head and the letting go of Firman, Lewis etc. If Hornby got injured we'd be in deeper strife. All goes without saying. Makes a little sense and word is that this is the view within the coaching staff, if you believe rumours. Mind you, the nice fella who said it also reckons that Willie Peters is a top half back.

Another odd comment I've heard is that "he likes to win". So maybe competitive spirit and some attitude may be in his favor. But agree with Legend that it is a strange coupling.

The canberra times just had an article stating Schif wasn't going to exercise his get out clause?

Also read a few days back in the Canberra Times that Woolford and Saints were close but money was still an issue.

Its a question of faith.
Pete's strike rate leaves a lot to be desired, but he'll get it right eventually. Like most followers, he just needs to brush up on his timing.

First with the Meninga to coach Qld,
First to announce Henry @ Raiders
First to post Woolford to St George..Saints a little tardy to release the news.
First to announce Schiffoscke WILL become a Red...
First to nominate Scott, and Johnson as Qld starters in SOO 1.

Not a bad strike rate. You either believe em or chuck em away. Doesn't affect me one way or another. I don't create them, I just post them OK..

Oh I don't know, from your posts it looks like you live for the scoop.

Friendly question Pete, are you a bit of a name dropper? I reckon you'd be a real hoot at weekend bbqs.

:lol: whatever that means...Sorry if you don't like Woolford. I just told you, (btw..before anyone else), that he was going to be a Dragon. I didn't sign him....

But despite that what has the fact that the Dragons have choked in their last five Grand Final appearances to do with that???? He could be just the bloke to lift your team out of the finals doldrums.
Why take me to task for giving you correct information. Do you blokes OWN this forum??
Where is your information for the benefit of Dragon supporters. It is too easy for you people to focus on the negatives...
There are plenty of people on the St George forum who would want me to keep them informed..If you don't believe me run a poll on my credability..compared to Gregstars and Willows..
