The Saints...go marching in

Yes...the Saints won today (not St Kilda) I mean the St George Rugby League team.  This is the first time since 1979; so represents a very long time since their last success. Congrats to the Dragons !!

Today in beating Eastern Suburbs Roosters they go somewhat forward in eliminating the ghosts of that 1975 Grand Final v Easts where they whitewashed the Dragons by 38 to Nil !

 It is hard not to relate that match to the great Graeme Langlands and his white boots.   I did not see any boots that looked 'white' or even 'cream', however did see one player with "red" footie boots.

However living in Melbourne this win commands little if any attention and the win by Collingwood after 30 years is all the talk on the street.
