SAINTS V PANTHERS.

[Carlton]

I'm not a Widdop fan but he had a very good game, McCrone and McInness took over a lot of directing of the team and it worked. These two really stood up and delivered.

Vaughan is going to be one of the best buys we have made, he is a beast. McDonald great work and what can you say about Duges, Matt Moylan looked like a junior compared to him. JDB, Thompson, Packer, Frizzel, Simms, Au Mau all hammered the Panthers and Lafai had a really good game.

Congrats to the team and lets hope this is what we can expect for the whole season.

Resign Mary before anyone else gets him !

 

[BrissyRedV]

Well what can you say? Want a great performance all round. The showed enthusiasm, aggression and a real intent. What a difference a couple of weeks makes. Some standouts for mine:
Macdonald- was strong all day. Really wanted the ball and strong defensively
JDB- what a beast of a performance
Vaughan- a great pick up. That is all.
McInnes- what a difference a good hooker makes
Thompson- great lines in attack and great aggression
Frizzell- just a strong all round performance
And last but not least Widdop- always backing up, ran to the line and was always Johnny on the spot. Some good kicks as well.

Let's hope they can keep it up. Credit where it is due, Mary had them up for this. Happily eating a slice of humble pie tonight.

Well done today boys its been a long while since Ive seen you compete for the full 80...goes to show if you turn up committed anythings possible...we stuck it up Penrith right from the kick off...it was very pleasing to see when things came unstuck at times we didn't lose our composure.....Penrith looked sloppy at times but I think that was because we were in their faces and gave it to their big men.all we can do now is hope some more of the same continues...unexpected great start to the season...and thankfully I didn't have to go out and mow the lawn at the interval

 

[Drewbrees]

Re-sign DeBelin and Duges. Tamou is still a cat.

I was really impressed with McInnes today. He looked really composed, good kick for a repeat set, tackled well, good service, a try and a try assist. And his work rate was consistent for 80 minutes. Could be a really astute pick up.

People were a bit quick to say his was only JUST better than Rein. I reckon he is miles ahead. He was captain of the Junior Kangaroos and he is only young, super young. The way he plays, tackles and runs reminds me of another hooker named Cameron.

He is nowhere near that level, but I can see that he is a lot smarter than I thought he was. He will only get better with experience.

Power game. Who knew? Not the Panthers!

He is the one so many Souths Smart fans did not want to lose.

Was also nice to see Kogarah jovial again!

Pity only 7500 here but can't blame them.
Let pack out next week against the Parramatta.

Spot on Sheridan.
Also Inglis out for 6 months.
Not great

Was at the pub watching the game, thought someone had spiked my drink....

Well done boys, winners are grinders !!!

 

[BlackDuckSaint]

For those wondering, JDB is the new leader of the team song. Which is fitting

 

[MilanDragon]

Just make sure he keeps that beard!

You weren't the only one and yes, agree about the last statement. Let's hope they can be consistent and maintain that.

Sure was I have lost my voice.
Dont even care

[S.B.]

After watching them for the last 4 or 5 yrs I think the only things they did different was.
They ran HARD
They ran STRAIT
And they ran to the line before passing
There defence was also aggressive. it was great to see

Saturday afternoon at Kogarah Jubilee Oval , Score Dragons 42 Penrith 10 .

Its was as if the team was transported back to the 60's .
What a kick-start to the season , exactly what the boys needed to build their confidence .

 

[2010]

My heart thought they would win and my brain said no. I never ever imagined that they would play like that.
The three new buys played great as well as everyone else, the big red V shines brightly tonight
