[Dragon Slayer]

South’s always get up for this game.

But the Rabbits have run out of 1st Grade players this year.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Also got to laugh at Robinson’s hypocrisy.

Apparently he rejected Elliot Whiteheads apology yesterday.

Said it was too many hip drops from him.

Yet this merkin continually supports JWH and Victor Radley.

Apparently Robinson’s shyte doesn’t stink.

lol

"Coach supports his players"

What a headline

He doesn't have to accept Whitehead's apology and Whitehead doesn't have to go to the presser and sook about it but here we are.

Be interesting to see Robbo's response when (not if, kevvie style) JWH gets suspended the first week he's back from his current suspension

 

[Fangs]

Souths will have the whole NRL community behind them this week.

No problem supporting your players but don’t throw stones in glasshouses.

The hypocrisy of the guy is breath taking.

Mate he said it to him face to face, he didn't go to the presser whinging about it.

Brandon just had his season ended due to foul play and it turns out it's a 6-9 month ACL injury. You will have to excuse them if they weren't quite ready to accept an apology.

The whole story will be about the missing Roosters players when we're basically fielding a reserve grade squad.

Unfortunately the Roosters could lose another 3 players and still win by 20+

They'll cop a lot of flak this week and rightly so. Robbo has brought it on himself. I expect Wayne Bennett and others will join the pile on.

Roosters are in a bit of a panic and blood is in the water. Their last fortnight has been catastrophic. Suspensions, injuries and phoning it in against the Raiders to lose a home final have capsized their season.

On a different note, this game is the end of an era for us. The last game for Souths with a Burgess brother playing. 15 long seasons since Sam arrived.

Tom Burgess will finish up on 249 games, making him the 2nd most capped Rabbitoh of all time, and our most capped forward. A clean skin off the field (unlike certain brothers of his), and never really in trouble on it, save for the odd lazy arm here and there.

I'll never forget the performances of Sam, George and Tom in 2014 GF for us. Not just Sam's broken cheekbone, or George's try, but they all ran over 200m that game. Just immense.

Huge legacy they leave with us.

Agree the signing of the Burgess brothers was genius and turned your Club around.

It’s not how many players you buy for the Club.

It’s who you buy.

It was a home run signing.
