Saints stars go out on loan
SAINTS' financial problems came back to haunt them yesterday as they off-loaded star striker Grzegorz Rasiak and midfielder Rudi Skacel. Czech Skacel has gone to Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin on loan for the rest of the season with a view to a permanent move. Prolific Polish hitman Rasiak has joined Bolton on loan until the end of the season with a view to a permanent move. Rasiak and Skacel were two of the club's top earners. Raziak was believed to be on around £12,000 a week and Skacel is also on top wages. That saving in wages, combined with the potential fees for the two most expensive purchases in the Saints squad, proved too much for the cash-strapped club to turn down. Saints tried to put a brave face on the deal by saying it was also a way of easing the log-jam of strikers' but in reality it was another massive dent to their promotion hopes.
War looms for Robbie Warnock
A Victorian, Warnock was a third-round pick and No.42 overall pick in the 2005 national draft. His older brother, Matthew, is at Melbourne. Last season, the Dockers secured lead ruckman Aaron Sandilands to a $2 million deal for four seasons and keeping the gifted Warnock is now a priority signing. Victorian-based clubs are already clambouring for his signature, with Collingwood, Essendon and Carlton the frontrunners. Fremantle contracts manager Steve Rosich confirmed yesterday the club was keen to re-sign the gifted Warnock. "Robert is a priority, but it's not our club's policy to discuss player contract issues through the media,'' Rosich said. Warnock will become football's next version of former Eagles champion Chris Judd, who reportedly left WA for personal and family reasons, but headed to Carlton with a massive financial lure in the region of $7.5million for five years.
Fighting kids' colds
Get rid of any children's cold medicines you may have on hand.

• Drink plenty of fluids and get plenty of rest.
• Watch for warning signs that this could be more than a cold -- high fever, wheezing or a rash.
• If he' sick for more than three or four days, call the doctor.
Jailon is already doing much better. As for mom, "Not getting any gray hairs yet. We're just taking it day by day," May added.
Cold medications for kids under age six are still available in many stores, and the FDA has not officially ordered stores to stop selling them.
