Shield Team

[petetheileet]

Nice one father.

But tis not myself that I unduly admire!

Tis a team who's fine and illustrious anthemn doth begineth:

"When speaking of the champions.....

This is a day when all of the Souths heros, no less than seven internationals, will don the most famous colours in this code's fair history (except Merritt).

An evening when I will see for mine own eyes the calibre of players such as Roy Asotasi and David Kidwell, making the league right and wholesome again after so many years of despair and sickly illness.

A evening where the world will stand up and take notice of the imminent dominance of a great club called South Sydney.

Where thousands will descend upon the Telstra for the ressurrection.

This game will never be the same.

It must be a privilige and honour for Saints to be part of it.

Afterwards, no matter who wins and hopefully, in the absence of injury, we will all shake hands.

Where did Bunnies fans like this one get confidence like this...have they been watching their team in the last 10 years????

And regardless of the outcome tonight they all must know the season starts in 2 weeks time and lasts for more than 8 months.. that is when we will seperate the men from the boys

UP THA MIGHTY DRAGONS!!!!

What a comical post. But, I like your enthusiasm for the red and green.

I love you

 

[petetheileet]

Lets all give the bunnies the "benefit of the doubt"

They were playing a very good Flegg team

 

[God-King Dean]

I thought the Vagana try shouldn't have been. Comparing where Peachey touched it & where the ball landed it seems obvious to me it went forward... even if it was an incy wincy bit.

 

[rotti]

Just read on Foxsports Gasnier gone for season with torn pectorial

 

[gregstar]

link?

 

[rotti]

Just saw it on Foxsports news ch 513 on Fox, Guess it will be up on Fox web site soon.

 

[Wobbygong]

Nothing on Foxsports just checked other than he went off thr field with what was thought was a shoulder injury.

Someone on WORL mentioned the pectoral injury, I'll await something a little more official.

How bad were Souths???? Saints were ordinary but they had a bunch of premier league and ex flegg blokes on for that whole second half yet Souths had near their best side. Souths forwards are ok, but geez they have little talent in the backs, especially in the halves they are rubbish - Williams is a reserve grader and Sutton is too slow and lumbering for a five eight, he needs to move into the forwards.

I think they are in for another long season.

 

[Wobbygong]

It's official: Gasnier gone for 2007.

It just looked so innocuous, Naiqama was exerting most of the force in the tackle not Gaz, oh well, better hope Head and Hornby can strike up a good combo. It will be a very long year otherwise.

 

[murraymob]

It was just on foxs sport news active Gasnier expected to be gone for season

 

[God-King Dean]

Pure bugger. F*ck.

 

[sharknows]

As much as I loathe you guys I hate to see a footballer of such ability suffer such an injury. It will be a poorer comp without him.

 

[Dave Q]

Well boys, I'm ready to post my brief match report.

In essence, Souths dominant for about 65 minutes. Defence very strong.

7 minutes to go, Souths in front by 4 pushing the Saints line. Ordinary pass, missed capture, neat intercept, sizzling speed, try under the posts, easy position but pressure goal ..but it was kicked.

Certainly against the run of play.

Still, rugby league is sometimes about heartbreak.

Souths forwards dominated as expected, halves lacked direction at times and the backs blew several fine opportunities.

Some bad ref calls on Souths, none pivotal in the greater wash.

Some awkward handling both sides, ball control issues.

It was a easily the fastest and the toughest trial in the game to date.

Wes, how good is this bloke. One of the best backs Ive seen for some time. Absolutely electric, looked dangerous for most of the game. Well shut down for most of it too.

A few instances of crowd violence of 23,000 or so.

Congratulations Saints on reclaiming the shield.

If it is true about Gaz, I'm sorry to hear about it as it spoils the game a bit for everyone (even me).
