After they beat us the first time I came on here and said they couldnt win the flag. Everyone thinks theyve got a super super list. I dont actually think thats correct.
They are slow in the midfield and some of there top midfielders are injury prone
There real leader Hammill is injury prone and basically stuffed
They get slaughtered in the rucks
They have alot of players ready to leave the game for which theyve taken no action to replace.
They need more than a new coach for mine.
Well said Ramps.
They had a super list or at least the makings of one but Thomas didn't build on it and did a Spud doing trades like Heath Black for Fiora
. They basically have the same core of players they did 4-5 years ago but are worse off now - no Penny, Jones, Black with Gehrig, Hamill, Harvey, Thompson, Hudghton, etc on their last legs.
Conrnflakes, you might have had a better side than Richmond under Spud but that's hardly something to hang your hat on
.
The only thing I'm sad about with Thomas going is we won't have the chance to shove that "we are the better side" comment down his throat when the tide turns. We can still dish it out to those cocky Saint fans though who thought a flag was in the bag ... oops!
