No one is a Souths hater here. IN fact, I reckon the Inglis signing is fantastic - provided the git trades 50kg for a decent brain.
Problem is, some Souffs supporters are carrying on like prize pork chops - like we can call the comp off because Fat Boy Slim will squeeze into Owen Craigies old No. 4 jumper. I hear the RTA is sending a HAZMAT crew down Botany Road - a few gigalitres of DNA has been spilt by all the souffs fans blowing their load!
Me? Congats Souths. Talent arriving, not departing for a change. Jealous? Huh? What of? Wouldn't swap Jarryd for all the dentures in Redfern. Hindy is greater than any Bunnies forward since George Treweek - including the most overrated player in the game's history - John Sattler. And we took Fui off your hands too. I reckon our roster shades yours - and we have the coach of the greatest test nation as well. Salad Days at Parramatta - and you have to have teeth to eat salad!
As a Souths fan I can tell you I am over the moon with the signing, but know that you don't make the finals in the offseason. Sure it is a great signing and sure we are 2nd favourites with the bookies (I don't know how they came up with that). But at the end of the day talk in the offseason means nothing. Just look at Parra this season. They were the favourites to win the comp but came well short.
I see a few Souths supporters take things too far with their talk and for one I wish they would pipe it down a bit. Yes it is exciting that we have signed such an elite player but as it has been pointed out here Souths have only made the semi's once since 1989.
Now to your comments about Hindy. You have to be kidding? First of all did you see Treweek play to be able to come up with his name? I am assuming that you were able to see Sattler play quite a bit to come up with your overrated tag. You forget other forwards that we had such as O'Neill, Coote, McCarthy and even as late as Roberts. I love Hindy as a player and love his commitment and his loyalty to his team, but there is no way that you can claim him to be up there in the best forwards of all time.
Your coach is untried at NRL level. One thing is he won't have the help of Bennett during the season. Last year Parra relied on Hayne to get things going for them. When he struggles Parra struggle. Time will tell how you guys go. There is going to me massive pressure on Kearney from the fans and even bigger pressure on the board.
