[BotanyBorn&Bred]

Banking the wins. Been a while since we said that.

At the start of seasons, for sure

Well done to Bayleigh for a very good performance on debut. Myers was so-so but did some good things too.

With Wighton back next week and Rava likely available, it will be interesting next TLT despite the win because they stripped our edges a fair bit - and still lost. (p.s. )

 

[speedster]

At the start of seasons, for sure

AND with guys like Latrell, AJ, Jack etc missing but who should be back in the coming weeks. It's enormous.

In saying that, we face a couple of top 4 teams in the next 2 weeks so even more important to win the winnable games and give ourselves some confidence and a "free swing" at teams expected to handle us.

Jamie Humphries stats according to nrl.com - 4 goals, 1 field goal, 1 try assist, 2 line break assists, 26 tackles, 3 missed tackles, 1 error, 1 forced turnover, 75 metres run, 649 kick metres, 72 fantasy points.

Lachlan Ilias stats today - 1 try assist, 20 tackles, 3 missed tackles, 1 offload, 27 metres run, 544 kick metres, 43 fantasy points.

Nuff said.

Jamie is most definitely The Man!

Jamie is most definitely The Man!

His kicking game alone is so much bigger than Dodd's. Plus he kicks goals, attacks more robustly, defends better.

Is better looking, has bigger muscles, is better endowed I'm willing to bet (given that he's Aussie versus a Pom ) ...

 

[Det.Wojciehowicz]

Hahaha GOLD speedster!!!

 

[Rabbits20]

GLORY GLORY MY FELLOW DIEHARDS ALTOGETHER NOW!!

OH SOUTH SYDNEY IS WONDERFUL IS WWWOOONNNDDDEERRRFFFUUULLLL

It's almost forgotten in the excitement of the win but we were down to just 15 players less than midway through the 2nd half after losing Duncan (52nd min) to a hammy and Arrow (48th min) to his 2nd HIA in sapping heat. Yes, they lost Suli (a back) but that was much later (66th min).

This amplifies just how much fitter we are compared to last year as well as compared to the Dragons who ran out of petrol while we kept punching on.

Man of the match? Wayne Bennett!

 

[Det.Wojciehowicz]

Just makes the win that much more impressive. We're definitely a different team this year.

 

[speedster]

Jye Gray - 282 run metres! Plus 1 try, 1 line break assist, 4 tackle breaks. He also dropped Tuipolotu when he was away in the first half. He's a marvel and cannot be dropped when Latrell returns. Wayne will have to fit them both into the 17.

 

[Det.Wojciehowicz]

Yep. Jye is our very own Mighty Mouse!!

View from the Loft:
1. 4 forward Passes called. Loft did not see it that way. Enormous gifts for St. George.
2. Graham is a special person and player. Little wonder Bellamy wanted him badly a while ago.
3. Both #8 & #9 have steadily improved under Burt. Becoming starters the squad can trust.
4. Yet to see the same type of improvement from Duncan and Moale. Burt still has homework still to do there.
5. Hubner and The Humph are typical Burt projects. Gutsy, fit and very willing.
6. Sans Burt we lose last week 30-14 and this week 34-16. That is the difference El Hombre makes. Its Enormous.
7. Ilias is already struggling and St. George may wonder why they bothered.

Forget all about last year and the last phase of Dopey Demetriou's stay. Irrelevant now. Different Instructor, different results and effort.

Um, yeah. I'm just comparing for the sake of it. Get it?

They were forward. The last 2 marginal but fair enough.

 

[Souths Till I Die]

Humphreys is an unbelievably talented player. We need to look at locking him up ASAP. Him and Gray will take us to a premiership. The rest of the players can fit in around them.

 

[Det.Wojciehowicz]

Absolutely STID. Would hate to see either of them leave. They really are THE FUTURE!
