Souths have gone down 22-26 in another close game today to Penrith. We scored 4 tries to their 5.
Depth is heavily stretched with a bunch of Blacktown Ron Massey Cup guys playing in the Cup team today.
At least we won the one that counted - the 1st grade game of course.

I thought we'd get completely towelled up in both grades today but lost narrowly in both. Seems like the players are doing a lot of the little things right and not dropping their heads when they're behind on the scoreboard.

The cavalry should be on it's way shortly.

The reserve grade side would be interesting to see at full strength. They also are missing so many players… Lovett, burns, Mellars, McCarthy, shaq, schuster…
Sullivan would drop back down
As would a few forwards… Leblanc, Havili even Hubner or Duncan would find themselves there is a grade was at full strength

Unfortunately the HM boys went down in a close one to the Wahs, 18-20. The boys now slip to 7th and face the 14h placed Bulldogs in the final round match next week. So, with a good performance, the boys should still find themselves in the finals.

Meanwhile, our high flying SB Ball side drew 16-all with the lowly Wahs which was disappointing. The boys though are still running 2nd and also play the Dogs in their final round match up next week who are currently 8th and will be desperate to make the finals so hopefully our boys don't show any complacency as you don't want to go into the finals on the back of a drop off of form.

We can have high hopes of our SG Ball side doing something special this year but there's still a long way to go.

Difference is, Souths actually have our own junior nursery. The Roosters only have money. I don't want our club to be like theirs.
Thats your opinion if your club has been successful for so long based on development of getting the cream of the crop juniors wouldnt you go down the same road???

Penrith have got a good nursery however, Dylan Edwards, Isiah Yeo, Kikau, Fisher Harris, Leoata, Liam Martin you could even say Cleary as he was from NZ when he was plying his early trade up 18s sg ball.

added with a good nursery would be the recipe for success.

So your comment just relying on your own nursery is completely wrong!

I never said we should rely only on our nursery and not bring in others from elsewhere. You've read into my comments incorrectly.

I said, we have our own nursery so we don't have to do what they do. But we do actually also bring in kids from outside of our nursery as well and should continue to without a doubt. I just don't want to be like the Roosters. Doesn't sit well.

Some nice tries in the video highlights including a classy grubber from Dodd for Myers to chase and score. Unfortunately, Dodd was not listed amongst the best players overall in the summation though.

Reading through the play by play several of the players listed as among the best are down for errors and penalties conceded. So not sure I would trust that list of the best players

Mellars has been selected in JF again this week despite coming off early with more hammy issues last start. I guess they're managing him through his comeback to try and make sure it gets stronger and fully recovers. Fingers crossed he can play a full game this week.
