Paulo has turned to shit

Wow did you see Superman lift off to score? He really can fly
He was 10mtrs in the air

 

[Avenger]

Great try. Well done Superman.

 

[eels_fan]

Simo showing he could possibly make a fist of centre long-term

 

[Wally21]

Moses on tonight

 

[TheParraboy]

We are controlling the ball well , except for two of Juniors errors

One more try to us (none to them) before HT would be pretty good

 

[TheParraboy]

Need to take Hodgson off now, this is where he goes to poo

 

[the phantom menace]

4mins left of danger time...

 

[the phantom menace]

And there it is - our post-30min defensive gaps for all to see.

 

[Jake the snake]

Makatoa not covering in the inside

 

[the phantom menace]

Hopgood and Hodgson left in the middle together playing 30+ mins in the first half means we seem stretched covering the fatigue, and the gaps appear.

 

[eels_fan]

That’s disappointing. Defence around the ruck poor.

Cartwright at fault there

 

[Avenger]

Russell is being owned out wide by Johnson.

 

[Wally21]

Ok so glass half full. We are in a better position than most of us expected. We are in this

 

[Avenger]

Hodgson is so f**king shit. It’s not even a joke anymore. He is spent and a pedestrian out there.

 

[the phantom menace]

f**k, there was about 6 Rabbitoh jumpers backing up in the middle, we're lucky the ball wasn't in any of their reach.

 

[the phantom menace]

Ok so glass half full. We are in a better position than most of us expected. We are in this

*were - until they worked us out

 

[Gronk]

Good footy

 

[Chipmunk]

Last Souths try was probably just waiting for the right moment, hard to stop those players when they want it. Then we just looked like we had no idea in defence.

The reality is we need this more than Souths, and we're playing like our season depends on it.

We get beaten from here we'll finish bottom 6 for sure as it just won't be worthwhile week to week for our big guns to bother.

Souths look ready to go...

Souths by 20

 

[Happy MEel]

Good game of footy so far.

 

[Jake the snake]

Parra looks motivated today. BA finally decided to give them some motivation. Souths look off but will still win. They are playing poor but still have too much class.
