RFL sporting pulse shows A Backmann clearance pending to Waikerie

Is Francis playing this season if so how is he performing and what position does he play himself in?

Dillgaff can you shed some light on the condition of Maso and family as I hear he was involved in an accident? My thoughts and all at the Noarlunga Football Club are with Darren and his family and the Christies Beach Football Club.

So you are talking up a storm at the moment Sweendog about recruits and it's only August! Bachmann back, Trevor Rigney and Sam Mahoney from Kingston and Basham from Victor! I would be very surprised to see that all unfold but stranger things have happened...

Didn't bachmann leave for not wanting to play with francis. There are a few others that are the same from what I hear down there. I don't think all will be well at saint land with this reappointment[code][/code]

Haha sweendog, I wouldn't have accepted it anyway, to be honest I doubt bachy would come back with francis still coaching, but I guess you would know more than me, and not bitter at all chief I'm glad he got it, he has done a great job so far...

i have heard bachy wont be playing at all next year, due to his groin problems still,
or unless the money is right

You must work him too hard.

How the Saints looking this year

not too flash going by their first couple of games, pardon the pun

How are the Saints looking for 2012. Any handy signings?

I'd say their biggest recruit would be their coach! However he will need some time, changing culture doesn't happen overnight

Looking at SFL website 8 ins with 3 more pending. Will help to build depth and turn around a pretty ordinary year last year. New coach is a fantastic recruit with a great passion for the game and the club.

Who's the new coach?

Paul Crate. Pretty good appointment and one of the first positive steps coaching wise for CBFC in a long time....

Sorry not sure who that is. Where is he from?

Paul Crate Mail Medalist with Christies Beach Coach Of Mclaren Vale Willunga Played inthe riverand and played league football for South Adelaide Terrific guy who will bring the best out of all players and guarenteed to have a fit unit as he is extremely fit himself. Later years has umpired good at that as well
