Hate. It's a word that's thrown around pretty loosely these days. "I hate this," "I hate that." I think everyone uses it without really thinking about it. But you know what, when I say I hate the Roosters, when we say we hate the Roosters, that's not using the word loosely. We haven't just said it and not really thought about it. It's exactly the way I feel about them and I'm sure I speak for all Souths fans when I say that. It's an intense, burning hatred for these pricks from Bondi. In fact, I don't even know if it's a strong enough word to describe how we feel about them. I genuinely despise them like nothing else in my life. I'm sure a lot of Souths fans feel the same and I'm sure they feel the same about us.
It's on again on Friday night as the biggest rivalry in Rugby League reignites and rears its head once again to put on a show. That's right, we take on our old foe from across town, those bloody Roosters. This week, another chapter gets written into the Book of Feuds. The rivalry resumes and the hate comes to the surface as we take on our arch-rivals. The two oldest clubs in the League, there's 115 years of pure hatred in this one. I don't even know how to describe it. How do you describe it? It's impossible. Probably one of the best ways to describe it would be sin bin Sunday last year, that pretty much sums up how our two clubs feel about each other. I'm sure that will continue this week and there'll be nothing short of fireworks, especially given what's on the line here.
The stakes couldn't be higher this week as it's pretty much an elimination Finals game. The winner makes the Finals, the loser is on mad Monday a lot sooner than they would have liked. Simple as that, a MUST win if ever there was one. Everything goes on the line, for us especially given what's happened recently and whatever the result is here, it will have a big bearing on what happens moving forward, and it'll have a big bearing on whether this all makes or breaks the club. Honestly, I can't remember a Regular Season game where there was more on the line than this one.
Not even going to think about the actual Roosters side yet, that'll happen closer to game day. Right now, we just need to get our own house in order, or we'll be no chance in this one. It's been basically the worst week you could possibly ask for in Rugby League. So much unrest, apparently, and so much drama. But today is the day we have to really put it all behind us and move on. We can't have any distractions. We must be fully focused on beating these pricks and nothing else. I've gone from feeling pretty down in the dumps last week about everything, to pretty defiant and ready to go for this week. The rivalry certainly gets you up for it.
It depends on how we respond to everything, but I really feel like if we use that drama the right way, we can do this. Absolutely we can! This side is more than capable. We've been saying that for a long time, but now is the time to show it. Now is the time for redemption and now is the time to rise up. We have one last shot, one last chance at salvaging something out of 2023. One last shot at deciding what 2023 means to us. One last shot at getting in those Finals and starting a run. This is the definition of do or die and it's time to rise above everything. BE South Sydney this week! BE the Rabbitohs.
Channel the hate, and use it well. Let's go and beat these pricks on Friday night!!!
Glory, Glory.
