CHARITY SHIELD v Souths Sat 14/02/26 @ WIN

[Wolfgang90]

Calm down. It's a trial, get match fitness and some game combos going. When we put in effort we outclassed souths and bombed a few tries.

Legit going through the motions for most of that game. Panic when it's necessary not after a glorified training run.

I would have liked to see : Reed Replace Kyle at half time.

Don't want to be a pedant possm but Reed is an out and out half back and his overall game is based on half back instincts. That chip and chase to score against Newcastle showed speed/skill between the ears as well as of foot- Atko has some decent skills and good support play but imo Reed should be our starting half as he has the more complete half back game. He should have replaced Atko with Atko move to 5/8- and Kyle-well who cares?

For mine, after all the rave reviews from SF, Fale was a major disappointment. Poor defensive reads- not a centre.

 

[redfernrabbitoh]

As soon as I saw the Souths line up last week on Tuesday, I knew it would be a struggle a) because of the above which has been a huge issue for years now and b) guys playing not to get hurt to get to Vegas. As soon as Saints are given the favourites tag they never play like favourites.

Saints would have a better chance if they put out the same side that beat Newcastle the week before to with the CS, but unfortunately they can't do that as they need to give the FG boys a run and unfortunately the FG boys let the fans down with their poor performance. From what I saw I would rather Feagai or Buchanan as a starting centre with Val. Tu and CT stay on the wings. We need line breaks no bash and barge and the defence is no different. Buchanan created that last try because of a nice break. We need to give this kid more game time or he will leave like Bostock and light it up for another team.

Lets hope what they do in Vegas is what they did last year and win games they are given no hope of winning.

Sorry to be the bearer of pure truth here but stmerge need mass sackings from the coach down + his dud son forget making excuses vegas this and vegas that and they didn't try becoz they were thinking of vegas only lol time to sack half ur squad for starters and go to market for the next few years from here on that's the hard truth don't kid urself otherwise ull end up holding the wooden spoon...

It wasn’t Souths FFS, it was a part Flegg part NSW Cup Souths side that ran out there

 

[redfernrabbitoh]

As most , hugely disappointed with the result , the Dragons should had played much better than they did .

One can raise all sorts of scenarios as to why they did not - Las Vegas trip , avoiding serious injury or just did not want to get their brand , spanking , new jersey dirty - whatever .

The one fact that was clear to most is that the players seem to go into ‘ relax ‘ mode at various stages of their matches , this must stop immediately otherwise the top teams will be running up cricket scores against our boys and as a result the Big Red V’s for and against will be shattered by the half way mark of the season thus ending any possible hope of a semifinal berth in season 2026 .

Gareth67 Snap out of it cobber semi final birth? U cant even beat the baby bunnies ffs stop deluding urself and others on here...call for ur coach and his dud son to be sacked asap and half ur squad + Dean Young...

Wolfgang is delusional...maybe he wants flanno's coaching job too lol

 

[redfernrabbitoh]

They had both eyes on Vegas, and it was a trial, first 20 minutes was good and was unlucky not to be up and mission accomplished at half time. After that less said the better.

Other than the brain explosion thought Tu booked his seat and hope Sele is OK, really missed him.

Huh, vegas made me lose lol cmon ur a comedian u can do better than that the baby bunnies from the jersey flegg and the nsw cup players beat ur first grade team on ur turf...hows that for vegas lol

 

[redfernrabbitoh]

Maybe they were told just have some fun, offload, second phase play.
It's odd for Cook to do that.
I think any regular game he would be dirty with himself. They knew it doesn't count.

However we do have a habit of not turning up for easier games to get our pants pulled down.

Flintstone stop fibbing lol

 

[redfernrabbitoh]

Nope , I think this is the same complacency as displayed in a lot of games last year at times .

They came out thinking they were playing a reserve grade side ( cos they were), and got unceremoniously rolled.

DR vegas made me lose lol...that's the common theme on here..

redfernrabbitoh you've had your fun but maybe time to retreat to the burrow. SGI supporters are used to pain but it's normally delivered by our team- not the other team's supporters. A big batch of myxomatosis is being brewed so just looking out for you old mate.

Trash like @redfernrabbitoh is exactly what the ignore button is for. Then the poor inbred clown with 3 teeth left in his mouth is left talking to himself.

Keep your advice for your own mob when the season proper begins and you find your bunnies on the wrong end of some very lop - sided hidings you wittle wascal wabbit or I will get my mate Elmer Fudd to fire a couple of buck shot rounds where the sun don’t shine !

Yeah. Ignore button is wonderful. This dimwit inbreed I'm sure is used to being ignored in real life, so it'll be nothing new for him on here. I've ignored him just to add to many other rabbit dimwits. Quite a gathering!

 

[Hound of Dracula]

Pretty sure that dimwit trolled us for weeks and weeks when we signed Ilias. Turned out, getting rid of Ilias was the only decent thing that happened to souths all year.

Imagine being so starved for success that he's treating a preseason trial like a Grand Final victory lap.

Shows how he feels about South's actual premiership chances.

he should save the 'unbelievable' celebrations for a game that actually makes it onto the ladder.

What a knob!

Anyone that gets off going to another teams forum & posting has serious problems & i can only feel sorry for them. Get a life mate

Sappy baby I'm here to help I've given u the good oil cobber sack both flanno's and half ur squad + Dean Young and ur on the right track fact..

 

[redfernrabbitoh]

regarding the weekend game, very disappointing. Dominated possession in the first half but didn’t really see any sweeping Plays. It was more down the middle stuff which I thought was a bit strange because preseason said we were going to play more attacking football. I thought the backup place through the middle each time there was an offload or a break was much better.

I honestly think they all wanted to be on the plane for Vegas uninjured. Huge occasion over there and you wouldn’t want to miss it just because an injury in preseason. I do have my concerns this season.

Luch impressive I thought. Was chasing down players from Marker.

I’m not one to bag players though even at 6 I think Kyle did struggle . No kicks, I think only 1,2 runs .

thought lykan brought some energy .

maybe lykan/atkinson 6/7.. Kyle 14..

With reed 18/19th man (spare spots with tge rule change)

Inflannowetrust which flanno both? Both need sacking id get another name for urself here's one for you...INBOTHFLANNOSWEDONTTRUST

That's even worse and more embarrassing lol
