The right edge from penrith got caught out due to some very good shape from us. I haven't seen much difference all year to how we play... The big thing is when we allow ourselves to play that way if that makes sense. You have to earn the right to play that way and over the past month we haven't done it due to being dumb at times... 4th tackle penalties and 6 agains mostly
Mate we actually ran hard and tackled hard, we worked hard in defence and our scramble was great. All of that has been missing for over 6 weeks. It’s hardly
A surprise there was nothing to play for it’s when we do our best work.

Haha I don't want to argue but you physically can not do that when you give multiple 4th or 5th tackle penalties away. Which we have done for the last month. Even tonight penrith had a few of them. Our penalties were early in the set. We defended a lot better than we have all year tho

Have you Seen this it’s doing the rounds……

Get a load of this, I had this sent to me from one of the fellas at souths.

How’s things my mate?
Where to start. Things not real good right now. Internally we’re done. JD won’t listen to Sam- Sam said Cody along with Trell and Cookie have no heart as they spend more time on the rubbing table when they should be spending that time training and leading by example. Trell openly said to Keaon you can train like a first grader or chill with the Origin boys. Well everyone is wondering why Keaon isn’t progressing. Keaon is in real danger right now of becoming the next Dave Taylor.
Trell should have played the Broncos. He felt it would give the team the boost to make the top 4 it needed with the best player in the game returning week later. When Trell told the boys at training Arrow went for Trell telling him he has more respect for Trells shadow than he does for Trell himself. Cody and Trell not on great terms at the moment either. They clash a lot at training. It’s an old fashion stand off on who is the team leader. Lurch is stuffed. Toughest kid you’ll come across. I’ve seen him after games struggling to breathe that’s how bad his sternum is.
Sam got to Trell telling him that to win comps you play and train hurt with the boys that are doing the same for you. Trell’s reply was ‘’I have two rings Sammy you got Greggys’’. Sam then told Trell you also got 30 kg on every fullback in the comp and TommyT will be the next Origin fullback on one leg. A few more words were exchanged with Sam winning those by telling Trell he’s only a few years away from being milked like the cows on his farm because that’s how fat he’s going to be. Trell flew to Perth to watch the boys play on a different plane due the tensions between him and everyone else. While things have been mended some it’s as they say. You don’t forget.
Cam is considering rugby right now. He’s being telling JD for weeks on weeks that he’s not a front row forward, he has serious concerns for his body. He also went into fight for Blake really hard but JD wont admit to being wrong in regards to Lachy. Lachy played centre in league and outside centre in Rugby. He’s never been a half. JD’s fall out with Reyno was him telling Reyno he will turn Lachy into the next Cooper Cronk and the leader the club needs. Cookie and Lachy have formed a little friendship which has upset Cody a lot and Cody hasn’t had a problem in saying it. You will notice that Cody and Cookie rarely connect now. All Cody’s ball comes from Cam. Cookie will sell Cody the pill and stream the ball to Lachy every time.
Hosty considers himself an online presenter and rugby league player second. He’s one of the JD boys. While JD is around so to will Hosty. We all know young Tyrone should be playing in front of Taane. Again Taane is one of the JD boys.
JD has created a mess that I don’t think he can fix, Trell until now has done what ever he wanted. The culture has shifted. Sam is leaving while Benny Hornby keeps repeating as ‘’Wayne says’’.
Mark my words Sam will be South Sydney’s next head coach pending a release from Warrington. Until that happens don’t be surprised if Madge has a quick coaching stint to fill the gap until Sam returns. None of this was an issue for Russell until Sam told him 3 weeks ago he was heading back to England. Expect to see Russell around a bit more now. It would take a massive score line for JD to be punted before next year but it won’t take much to move him on next year.
It’s all happening and none of it good. If a few walk don’t be surprised. Some might be for the best. The window is shut until Sam returns.
Take care mate.
