I didn't watch the game today busy but what I heard is that Goodwin had a good game today and Cook was one of the stand outs again today.

Apparently Goodwin was very good.

On Souths Facebook page lots are happy with Goodwin.

this would be my side at full strength:

1. Inglis
2. Johnston
3. Hunt
4. Goodwin
5. Auva'a
6. Keary
7. Reynolds
8. George Burgess
9. Cook
10. Thomas Burgess
11. Turner
12. Sutton
13. Sam Burgess

14. Carter
15. Clark
16. Grevsmuhl
17. Brown

I think Madge likes having 2 Burgii on the field at a time.

I think we need Tom on the bench for impact. I think Madge will do this too.

Can Auva'a catch bombs though????? I don't think he's played wing much before.

I know Hunt has played wing with his previous clubs. Madge may play Hunt on the wing.


I read that Tom injured an ankle and will be right for Round 1.

As Grevs hasn't played any trials due to his knee I don't think he will be there Round 1. Madge will give him a hit out or 2 with Norths first.

Here is my R1 team minus Keary, George and Grevs:


1. GI (C)
2. AJ
3. Auva'a
4. Goodwin
5. Hunt
6. Cody
7. Reynolds
8. T. Burgess
9. McInnes (may play a bit in back row too)
10. Clark
11. Turner
12. Sutton
13. S. Burgess

14. Cook
15. Tyrrell (will play prop)
16. Carter (will play back row)
17. Brown (will play prop)

18. Musgrove
19. A. Gray

I was hoping to watch the game today to make up my own judgement but was busy doing stuff.

But yea reading all the comments on social media sounds like he did have a good game. He made a line break I heard during the game. I've got a feeling that he might go with Goodwin and Auva'a in the centre and have Hunt on the wing.

the size on the bench worries me

Yep that's what I think. Hunt on the wing too. Madge had better not leave Auva'a out and have Gray in. If Madge does this I may pass out!!!!

Apparently Olive wasn't good.

Olive isn't ready yet like I said.

Back to Norths and he can improve with hard work.

goodwin isn't the quickest outside back, but he isn't that slow either. he is quick enough to make breaks. he has had a few good runs in the pre season games. his tackling and decisions in defense have been solid. he chases the kicks well. he is a good back up goal kicker. he kicked 3 from 3 today. for some reason cook made 1 conversion attempt and missed a fairly easy kick. i'm very happy with how goodwin has gone in the preseason games.

i think olive will be good, but just isn't ready yet for first grade.

turner looked good today r20. i think he'll be in the team too

See this Rsag from alien.

This sums up Bryson and how he's been this pre season.

Southsport thinks Bryson is currently our in form centre too.

Yeah I know what you mean.

Alien said Musgrove was hot and cold.

Maybe Madge takes a gamble and plays Musgrove over Tyrrell. Time will tell.

Or maybe play Clark off the bench and start Tyrrell to balance things out a bit.

Round 1 will be tough for us.

he is, closely followed by hunt

:cool::cool::cool:

As I've said Hunt has played wing with his previous clubs so Madge may move him there.

Auva'a hasn't played wing as far as I know. Not sure of Auva'a under the high ball.

I reckon Madge may play Auva'a at centre and Hunt on the wing.

If Madge plays Gray in the backs and leaves out Auva'a he has rocks in his head and I may faint!!!!!!


I'd have Gray on standby.

I heard the first half was average by the way the team was performing but did better in the 2nd half.

There is some spots open.So who knows which way Madge is thinking

I'm hoping he takes a gamble on Musgrove. I liked the way he played in the CS when I was him and I liked the way he played last year for the bears even.

Sounds like Bryson is continuing on from last years form great to hear
Also great to hear Hunt proving a great guy and pushing hard for a spot as well
Good to hear Inglis and Sammy and Mcinnes also did well
I hear Turner has bulked up as well great defender ,hits good angles.
Who else did well or not so well
Olive isn't ready ,how was Walker and Keary ?
How is Toms injury
Sounds like Clark has improved as well

Yeah if you don't complete your sets as Madge says you put too much pressure on yourselves.

That's why we leaked 14 points in the first half.

Doing the basics is extremely important.


Oi alien I bet we missed Adam's kicking game didn't we???????

that is definitely possible, although i do remember that auva'a played on the wing in the bears team, just before he came back from his suspension. i'm not sure if that was under madge's orders though

mcinnes didn't do all that well. walker didn't do as much as he did in the charity shield but was ok. keary set up 2 tries. clark was ok, and kinda setup gi for his try
