Souths were very luck against Manly , as the bounce of the ball went their way most of the game.
However against Panthers , the bounce of the ball did not go Souths way and cost them 3 tries , yet still won. They could have won by 30 points.......yet post game , the praise is on Panthers defence only have 3 tries scored against them in 2 finals games. !!!
And in the last round victory by Panthers over Souths , Panthers had TWO very lucky bouncing ball tries to even the scores by halftime.
Against the Storm , fact is Storm blew two tries in first half and frankly were SHITE in possession , keeping Panthers in the game.
Bottom line.......Panthers are pretenders. Souths by 30.
