Rumours and Stuff

[84 Baby]

Souths only lost 4 games last year. So they weren't poor.

2 of those losses to Penrith & 2 to Storm. Didnt lose to anyone else.

They just happened to get flogged by 50 twice in the space of 3 weeks in May by both of those teams.

Other then that they were pretty dominant there F/A was +322 which included 2 x 50 point losses so it could have been 400.

They had some bodgy wins in there too, similar to our wins over Tits this year. Their attack is just more potent to cover their other deficiencies.

I know I called it during the trials, but I reckon Lanes form could see him as a smokey for Dally M second rower of the year.

Great player is Lane. Love what he brings which is very different to our other forwards. Im so glad someone has stopped trying to turn him into a middle. I categorised Laney as elite years ago and the game plan now appears to suit his skills. Well done big fella.

Dude @JokerEel called it in 2016. And everyone laughed at him

That's because we thought he was joking.

At least thats what my 78 year old uncle said and he knows footy ffs.

Or both.
And yep, i reckon Mal will include him in the squad for sure.

I was concerned Shaun Lane was the only backrower that was signed up for 2023 at the start of the year as i saw him as 3rd choice so its great he is living up to his potential.

We are definitely using him better.

Papali'i will be a loss but certainly can be replaced by an edge backrower on the right.

I don't think our 2023 squad will be too bad too expect a sudden drop to the bottom half of the table. Half those sides down the bottom have a lot work both roster wise & fix up the losing culture they have developed to jump up.

It frustrates me though whenever players get interviewed like freddy last night telling moses this year is your last chance to win a premiership because 4 or 5 players are leaving.

I hope mentally the players still here don't think that way.

I think they said with the current team mates

Storm have recently moved Nelson Asofa-Solomona to the edge.

Will he be marking Laney next week ?

If we can keep our defense sorted and avoid south’s, we can go deep into the finals campaign.

With RCG, paulo, matto and Marata, we’re a threat in the middle

with both our halves firing, we’re a threat on the edges.

The form Ice and lane are in should have all teams concerned.

let’s hope everything falls into place this semi final series.

Now now, we know Gronky was the only one to call it out from the trials

Which reminds me. In the presser yesterday Gutho started with his “chase the collision”.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Pou just gives it his all because he virtually assumes he was been put on the wrong debating team at school. The team that has to argue about something even though deep down they don’t truly believe in it.

The problem isn’t whether I believe it, the problem is that some of you believe too strongly on very flimsy evidence. I am just trying to help you understand that.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I'm actually really excited about seeing Josh in the Blue and Gold - he is pure class.

I think Mahoney is a very good player, but Josh Hodgson is better in pretty much every area (barring maybe long passes; Mahoney's long bullet passes from dummy-half are laser-like).

Hodgson is also more likely to be unavailable.

My uncle @parra pete knows f**k all about footy but he does know jokes.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Or both.

I hope so but Mal has picked just 1 parramatta player in his whole time as rep coach for QLD or Australia and that was semi radarada for 1 test match.

I don't think he has rated us even when making the finals.

 

[Eelementary]

Very true.

That's probably his biggest con.

These long bullet passes are passed to a player who 99% of the time is standing flat-footed. It makes our attack inefficient. I'd go as far to say the tactic is entirely overrated.
