Round 1 Vs Bulldogs

A couple of comments:

A couple of my close extended family have played lower grades for Souths. Didnt ‘bag’ Lachlan Ilias. Noted he is an ok tackler but very average for a team’s most influential positioned player. I hope he is successful but also hope signed on low dollars.

Saw Cup highlights and that Jonah Glover is a very quick half and can play. Lovely high bomb for Cody try.

The movement where Lawson was ‘easily run down’ was a bit deceptive. The Bulldogs fastest player No 2 on wing was already a metre downfield and closeby. He came across and dived to get Lawson who was sprinting well. Coming across and not behind always easier and the No 2 got a piece of Sloan on his 2nd try coming across.

Cody is just so exciting and a class player full stop.

Ilias was on $500k at Souths (way too much) but the media say Souths picked up some of his contract for 2025. The contract is only until end 2026.

Especially not at Doggies games. They are not a fan base we want to fire up. I think there may be retaliation in the next fixture.

Difficult for a half to play with flair when your forwards can't create any momentum. Also getting harassed by Kikau constantly while trying to kick. Burton could kick at his leisure with zero kick pressure.

Exactly right. Can’t believe some are death riding him already after just one game back from a serious injury. Thought he went ok considering the dogs monstered our pack and saved a certain try near the line. Thought in general the whole team looked flat at times.

Just watched it and was so disappointed that I almost turned it off after Sitili's 2nd try.
Our middles copped a pasting and Ryan's season ending already left me feeling flat. The Bulldogs got out of yardage way too easily for my liking and their rucks felt much quicker than ours. The spine was meh bar Liddle and although the scoreline flattered us in the end hopefully today wasn't a preview of what our season is going to be.

Just on Ryan C getting injured, I’ve always been baffled by the rule that when a player is ruled out with a serious injury, you can’t bring another player in to make up the 17. This puts the team under so much pressure and for the life of me I don’t understand why the NRL don’t look into this.
