The good thing about today is that it ends any "last year was just a blip" thoughts I may have had. This is a squad in decline, unfortunately.

Need a longer break between games

I’m tired lol

Nah that’s the Chooks halves pairing.

Wrong.

They're with the Starlight Foundation.

 

[t-ba]

Oh god that's great.

Don't have to think about these losers for two weeks!

 

[yobbo84]

How were Souths fielding such a low quality back line in round 1?

Obviously the Simple One was unavailable but three of the five outside backs are not first grade quality plus Ilias in the seven.

Is too much salary cap allocated to Latrell and Walker?

Edit: Forgot about Campbell Graham.

No Jack Wighton, Campbell Graham or Tyrone Munro. Plus a couple others you'd play over journeymen.

Would’ve got awkward if they went to golden point with 4 teams on field

It gets worse the more you look

Souths last 30 minutes of the game was poor. Too many mistakes, with Latrell MIA for long periods. Walker tried, but under pressure, he can be very hit and miss. Unfortunately for Souths, Walker was more "misses" than "hits" when it came to execution, particularly in the second half.

Additionally, I was surprised at Damien Cook. Whilst his passing was slick, I was surprised he never took a dart out of dummy half. Don't know if that was the game plan, but his running from dummy half used to be one of his strengths which would often keep the Souths attack on the front foot and the defensive line retreating.

 

[Black Panther]

11 tries in that game. Not saying much about defense.

Illas for Reynolds really was a dud call by pappas

It was the right call.

While round 1 form doesn’t mean much, you’d think that after the way they went out last year Souths would have wanted to come out and make a statement.

I take it you haven't watched him play since 2018?

How long are you giving Demetriou, bud before Sammy takes the reigns?
