Souths tough Qualifying Round victory
As we enter the business end of the season Souths had a tough Top 8 Qualifying Round encounter with Newcastle coming out on top in a wet weekend encounter. A number of Kangaroo representatives stood down from the match. With Rugby Union converts Leo Senior and Max Coxon making their debuts. Souths and Easts are still neck and neck in the fight for the title.

Second Grade bow out
Second grade have only recorded their second loss for the season both against Easts who are now 4 points clear with 2 rounds to go.

During the last month J.J.Giltinan has been exploring the option of merging with Australian Rules. Is this a sign that Rugby League is struggling, with other long term options being explored.
