Souths Trivia

[Newcastlerabbit]

They all played at Souths and I'm pretty sure they all coached there in some degree, I know for a fact both Brian Smith and Phil Gould started coaching at Souths in lower grades.

Sonic,Im sure Brian Smith first coaching gig was at Newtown under 23's in 1978.

 

[Sugar]

All 3 of them had an association with Souths either playing or coaching but never coached first grade at Souths but went on to coach first grade at other clubs

Yeah i think your right.
He coached us after that.

 

[Newcastlerabbit]

Yeah i think your right.
He coached us after that.

He then returned to Souths as a player in 1979 and returned to coaching Souths under 23/s from 1980 - 1982

3. Correct about Wing but not about Sutto. The last round match in 2005, Sutto created absolute havoc when he ripped through the Sharks line. They had no answer at all for his massive step and insidious elusiveness. One day he will return to the backline, where he belongs.



Dave,your dead right I forgot about that game against the Sharks. I was thinking round 2 when we played Paramatta at the SFS,where Sutto absolutely carved Paramatta up that day,making bust after bust,thus setting holes for Hegarty and Luke McDougall to run into.

Didnt Gus play for Souffs in 87 and start coaching the Boggs in 88, to a GF win????

Edit: Just read he retired in 86. So I gather he coached for a year 87, souffs lower grades???? Anyone know which grade????

:lol: :lol:

Gus retired aftet playing for Souths in 1986.It it commonly know around Souths people that Gus played a unofficial role in coaching/assisting Piggins throughout 1986.
Gus in 1987 went to Canterbury and coached the Reserve Grade then onto first grade there in 1988.

Dude your a idiot, Like Newcastle Rabbit said, Gus was coaching when piggins was in charge, just like he is now with Freddy.
Didn't say he was a real coach. Just said he was coaching. Just watching Gus play in 1986, I have DVD's hes directing everyone around the park.
Smith did coach in our lower grades, I didnt know he had a stint at newtown, I was wrong there, but i knew he coached in souths lower grades.
I thought Gould had a hand in souths under 23's also.

3. CORRECT! a massive 29 tries. They were harder to score in the old days (1954)

4. CORRECT! Bob played 15 seasons. An olden day Pauley Mellor!

5. Tugger Coleman achieved this remarkable feat in only 11 illustrious seasons.

6. Incorrect! Stevie Walsh was the only one in the list who was not a kangaroo!

Dave,we are in dispute re most tries in a game for Souths.(We might have to settle this at the Homebush Brewery. ) All the records I have are from the "the encyclopedia of rugby league players,Souths edition", show that Johnny Graves holds the most tries in a game record,and Paul Sait played 163 first grade games,and come as a replacement 3 times.
