It was all about the numbers this week as our nine new Saints were handed their playing guernseys for 2020. 

And when the question was posed to the fans as to who would wear what… 

 …Bradley Hill was quick on the reply!

Love your work, Hilly!

Even with the slew of new numbers and kits…

…we still had some guernsey vacancies.

Paddy McCartin’s No. 32 remained empty in anticipation of his return in 2021, while No. 41 and No. 47 were also unfilled. 

Sam Rowe was humbled…

…while Bailey Rice chimed in with some advice for Leo Connolly.

A bit was made of our new No. 3’s shiny bonce…

…while Steeley’s birthday received with a bit more love from his adoring band of heartthrobs. 

Speaking of good-looking roosters, our boys were looking sharp out on the track… 

…so much so that Ladey had to point it out to Ratts.

JB was caught in a spot of bother…

 …and the crashing and bashing didn’t stop as Billy Slater and Aaron Hamill took the boys through a tackling and bodywork masterclass.

Ratts introduced a new punishment for those who came late to the huddle…

…which is an improvement from last year’s penalty!

The festive season was in full swing down at RSEA Park at Saintsmas.

History was made as the red, white and black’s men’s and women’s sides trained side-by-side for the first time…

And didn’t the fans love it.

And while the countdown is on for the jolly, fat man in the big red suit to leave some presents under the tree...

...we’re counting down the days for something else.
