Bit of both.
He wanted to have a farewell last week but said he would stick around if required for this week.
Woosha wanted him available in case of any injuries during the week but on Tuesday it was mutually decided that it was over

Only about 5 minutes further from the CBD than Windy Hill.
We needed a place to go where the club could get a heap of land to grow the club. Some big plans out there scheduled over the next 10 years. Half hour drive from the city isn't too bad

Poor choice of words on my part. It feels like it's miles out as there is not much else around. I usually take the Tullamarine all the way from the city to the airport, but got off at the last exit to fill the car with petrol. Came into the airport the back way and stumbled on the facility. So correct not that far really from the old windy hill.

Would think that's the case.
Has 1 year remaining on his contract as our ruck coach but wouldn't think he will play again

Great way to finish the season. So, so good to stick it to the Blues. Some of our play today was scintillating! So much to like going forward. Hopefully the way we moved the ball today is the plan for the future. Amazing job from Woosha and all involved to keep it together this season. Can't wait for next year!!

Works out that for each goal Brisbane score the Saints need 9.8 points roughly. So for example Saints need to win 100-60 or 140-90

No brianer really the kid has had a great year. A big positive from this year.

Honestly I think some of the guys coming back like Heppell and Watson will need to make sure they dont effect his development. Hes a bloke who looks to be on the rise the midfielders will need to fit in with him.
