Bloody Andrew Johns, bloody Newcastle!!
Let me just say I'm not whinging. Souths shouldn't be relying on other teams results to avoid the spoon! But with Souths winning 4 from 5 and the Knights now 6 from 8, the way things are going the Panthers could end up with the spoon..
No matter who comes last, I think both our teams have shown in the latter half of the year how to climb out of a hole... i.e. develop your own junior talent and surround them with some experienced heads. The extensive time in first grade will do these kids the world of good for next year. Guys like Tighe, Mullen, Tolar, etc lead by Johns, Simpson and Smith for the Knights and Sutton, Gordon, Champion, Moran, etc lead by Cusack, MacDougall, Hegarty, etc for Souths.
The Tigers are now showing how junior development can pay off. The Roosters are now showing how you can't simply buy a competition.
Good luck to the Knights for the rest of the year, but I hope Souths keep winning and you blokes take the spoon away from us!
Look forward to playing you guys in the finals in a couple of years time! (hopefully next year)
