Holy hecka that was crazy!!!! When Vaughan scored, I was freaking out, like, literally shaking. However, that last ten minutes from our boys was just insane! Magnificent Footy to save that game, come from behind and seal it! That was just insane for the heartrate, I think we all felt that. So stoked and relieved to get the win, that was a bloody important one.

Gotta say though, that right edge defence almost lost it for us. In fact, probably would have lost it for us had it not been for the brilliance of Trell and Cody. We do have some massive issues down there. Taane needs to go, and something needs to be done with Keaon. I'm not sure what but he needs a massive kick up the ass.

And I just wanna say what a freak Trell is, the best I've seen him play in a Souths jersey! That try was GI-like, seriously something out of this world!

On another note, credit where credit is due to the Dogs. They have come a long way under Mick Potter and really stood up today. They gave us one hell of a fight and we really had to work for it. I knew that would happen, it always seems to.

Just relieved and stoked to get the win. Well done lads!!
Why so tuff on Keon last week good some good stuff this week , yes he an Tom burgess missed that tackle and canterbury go length of field, nikorima is a liability in defence and I see no reason for him to be playing ahead of Taafe, David Moale was good for the few minutes he gets to play. DEFENCE , the poor kick and chase to trap the fullback in goal and subsequently led to a try i hope the coach relays the message about that.LATRELL won us the game , walker Illias solid. Win is a win and was cook injured yesterday.? Hardly did anything in origin.

Isaiah Tass was very good, he is getting better as he racks up games. Conversely, Milne is terrible, I was hoping he'd be ok, but forget about it.
Latrell won the game for us, easily the man of the match
Milne being resigned 2year deal worth around 180k a year but honestly i thought in the international at lock he played ok i think he is too slow in the backs but would make a good backrower,thats were id play him nsw cup as a backup and he is a beefy type

3 - Tatola. Outstanding effort. Mitchell & Alex got the wraps, but sans Tatola's graft and grind it would likely have fallen short.
2 - Mitchell. What a difference he makes when he focuses on football! Canterbury had pre-game backing, Gould obviously had them ready to pounce, but Mitchell stopped them.
1 - Tass. Yes he has areas to work on but we must be impressed with his ability thus far. Game breaking skill with these high kicks, cannot coach this.

From Fox Sports,

TEMPERS FLARE

THE flare-up between South Sydney playmaker Cody Walker and Bulldogs half Kyle Flanagan can be traced back to when the Canterbury-Bankstown no.7 collected Jai Arrow with a high shot in the opening half.

Arrow was forced off for an HIA assessment while Walker and Flanagan began going at one another as the Bulldogs were giving the Bunnies an almighty fright.

When Bulldogs prop Paul Vaughan scored a long-range try to send Canterbury to a 28-22 lead Flanagan couldn’t resist saying something to Walker as he ran past him in-goal.

The Bunnies no.6 was crouched down on his haunches at the time but immediately sprang to life with his eyes rolling and threatening to red-line over the edge.

This is the area of his game where Walker – a genuine superstar of the code – needs to tread warily.

Opposition sides clearly deliberately bait Walker looking to get a reaction.

This – and no other reason – is why we pointed out earlier in the week how Walker needs to get the balance right in terms of his temper.
