Rabbitohs played well and should be proud. Lol @ people having a go at Moylan when he played well in a badly beaten team. He threw a bunch of very good passes and 1 shocker.
It was an uncharacteristic performance.The team overall were playing to Griffin's gameplan very well early on,until Burgess decided to put the grub on,and it unsettled us no end.And well done to him...it's an age old tactic which has worked well for eons.

And like I mentioned earlier,we have an immature side which needs to learn in how to cope with these tactics.

We'll get there.Just a matter of time and patience.

But please,don't blame Griffin...it is a weak and unconvincing argument.It's the players that are to blame.

Moylan played well mostly. His bad pass was a shocmer. I can only imagine he didnt look at the situation and thought he had a second rower, centre and winger to play to. Mot thinking about DWZ in the bin.

It was a horrible pass to no one though. But its not his fault our team are soft as f**k and couldnt make up for one mistake.

Our pack are soft. Last week people defended them saying our backs carried them and gave them no chance. Today they got destroyed aswell as our backs being found out with kicks.

That was a try to go to 14-0 if it was executed well.

I don't think Penrith were that bad. Everything went our way today - the bounce of the ball, most of the calls, all the passes stuck, Reynolds had his best game in 3 years, etc. We just didn't do much wrong at all. When you're hot you're hot, etc. Was the reverse of our performance vs Manly at the SFS really

Thankyou for the praise,but you don't get spanked and your arse handed to you without playing some ridiculous football.

Souths rightfully deserve all the praise that will be coming to them.I just hope that it simply wasn't one of those days were everything Souths did turned to gold,then the next week,go in their shell.

If today was any indication,and if Souths keep this form up,they more than deserve to be in the finals. :)

Penrith should've been penalised more. They started that second push and shove and should've been down to 11 men. They were very lucky!!!!

They also had no choice but to lay on us and try slowing the ruck down and they infringed a lot more than what they got penalised for!!!

A few head highs we didn't get penalties on either.

I also thought in the first half the amount of forward passes Penrith got away with was ridiculous!!!!

I can't stand Manly so I do hope you guys towel em up next week.

Geez that Edwards is so fast and breaks lots of tackles!!!!

I hadn't seen much of him at all before today at the match.

We had players that tried their hardest,but when a team like yours has a day like today,not even Melbourne would have beaten Souths.

But yea,Edwards is a champion in the making.The pre-season tests indicated that he was the fittest in the entire club.At this early stage in his career,his attitude is like a pros-pro.

That's the frustrating thing with Souths.

Where has it been????.....

We are favourites to beat the understrength Roosters and these are the games we should win but we don't and play shit.

I do Fantasy too and I'm pissed I didn't get Edwards when he was cheaper.

Soon we have the Cowboys and Sharks though who will probably nail us shut for the year!!!!!

Then we have 4 very winnable matches against Raiders, Dragons, Bulldogs and Warriors.

If AR or Sam go down we are screwed!!!!!!!

If we don't beat the Roosters this Friday today's win doesn't mean that much tbh.

Some teams simply don't click on until it's too late,like Souths,and now to a lesser degree,Penrith.

Souths have lost quite some talent since the 2014 GF.And Keary's exit this year wouldn't have helped.

I can't put my finger on our reason why our season has turned sour after so much promise.

I tend to ponder over this in the off season.That way my thoughts are more subjective and without emotion.
