Nrl Should Act On Souths

I really dont know what Souths need to do to be a force or even try to avoid the bottom of the table. Theyve tried getting a new coach, a new CEO, new players. What they should do is get rid of some of those players, bring in Dean Pay as an assistant, or even a forwards coach, cause theyre forwards are an embaressment. Moving to Telstra was a huge mistake, they said they'll get 10,000-20,000 if they win games, well news flash they havent won a game, and the ground looks terrible with 5,000-8,000. Its bad enough having just 10,000.

They aint gonna get the crowds unless they start winning, and actually play like a football team. I do feel sorry for their fans.

I dont know if buying big name players would help, cause it'll hard to get name players, they wouldnt want to go to Souths. They offered money to Orford and Anasta last year, they knocked it back. Harrison left. If they dont play like a team, and start winning games, how are they gonna expect the Orfords and Anastas to come to Souths.

The other problem with Souths is, there is no real leader. I know Peter Cusack is the captain but he aint showing it, they gave the vice captaincy to John Sutton whos done nothin all year. When they had Harrison last year, he was leading by example, making heaps of tackles, setting up tries, making good yards. Definately one player they miss this year.

They need to do something sooner rather than later, otherwise the NRL would have every reason to boot them out again.

Apparently there is going to be something happening over the next 24 hours. No idea what it is though it is expected to be big

Hmm can only be 1 or 2 things...

1. McRae sacked? Crowe takes over coach!

2. Souths admitting they are not the 'pride of the League' anymore.

Maybe they have agreed to refund the bloke with the `FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION SIGN' he was holding proudly aloft after they got a 40 all draw in reserve grade ??

And judging by your sig your supporting jokes of players.

If any team should be relocated, it should be the sharks.

40 years of failure. Perhaps a new location might help.

Dear Souths this is the NRL
win more games please
Regards David Gallop.
LOL. Souths got kicked out because they refused to merge with another club cause Rupert Murdock wanted to Streamline the teams. Well souths didnt play that well to NOT be asked to merge. Every team has NAME players, who do Souths have? lol..Adam Macdougall? he is a has been, he plays good, but good doesnt win games. Its a team effort, and when 80% of the team are reggie players, + 9 injuries, its kinda hard to win games? lol. And 99% of the posters of this thread are NOT souths supporters, so why are you complaining? enjoy your team earning the easy 2 points from us and shut the **** up? k Thanx.

Souths will be back soon. It all runs in cycles.

Every team has their time at the top and their time at the bottom.

Its not for the Johnny come latelys to tell Souths what they should be doing.

thats no reason to kick them out, the sharks have a strong local fan base (they would have to be) and can attract big name players. They've atleast been competitive for most of their time. They don't deserve to be robbed of the chance to win a premiership even after 40 years.

Souths are a joke and have been for the last 15 years.
