Steve Southern

[Liam]

I'm happy to admit I was wrong on this signing. How good were some of those shots today?

 

[aqua_duck]

Good shots but I still don't rate him all that highly besides that

 

[Serc]

Has proved in the last 2 games that he is a useful backup who has firstgrade experience. Has been quite valuable as a result given our mini injury crisis in the backrow at the moment!

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Good for him to finish his career on a high IMO.

 

[Newie is God's Country]

Southern only signed on for a year. Is that correct?

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Yeah mate.

 

[ballbag]

He brings the same type of attitude and work ethic to training and games which makes him a pleasure for coaches to coach

And den?

 

[ballbag]

And den?

He is a leader of men but he knows he is down the pecking order and trying to make every post a winner whilst the others are injured

 

[Big Tim]

Baron,

You do realise that not every player can be Paul Gallen right??

These guys that know their limitations, but still put their bodies on the line every week are incredible.

 

[perverse]

i would say admirable, over incredible.

 

[Big Tim]

Nope. Incredible.

I wouldnt do it.

 

[Serc]

Yep me either, too soft...touch footy for me :lol:

PS: Good posts there Mr ballbag

 

[perverse]

lol... ok, well i find it extremely credible... but admirable. there's nothing particularly incredible about hard work - unless it's Aiden Tolman or Paul Gallen type stuff anyway... now that's incredible. incredible is a Benji flick in a Grand Final.

 

[Big Tim]

I see what you are saying, but I am getting at the fact they know they arent the biggest, the fastest, the strongest or the most skillfull, yet they still run out on to that field and put their bodies on the line.

What they do out there may not be incredible compared to a Benji flick, but still incredible.

 

[perverse]

yeah, that's fair enough i guess. the lack of self-preservation shown by the majority of NRL players week in, week out should certainly be classified as incredible.

 

[Serc]

Yeah thats what I thought he was saying too.

 

[Hooch]

Southern played a season for the Cowboys regularly getting his shoulder popped back in by the trainers.

It's the stupid side of tough and he'll probably pay for it later in life (not to mention the Cowboys were probably taking advantage of him playing him in that condition), but he is one tough ranga.
