Souths snatched another defeat from the jaws of victory, AGAIN !. While our attack is doing us proud 2nd in the NRL defence is still of a team that is not up to top 8 standards. They way we easily let in that last try was very disappointing.
Welcome back Michael Crocker and Eddy Pettybourne. Its good to see our quality players arriving back.
What can you say, another freak injury to a key person in our team. Issac looks like he is out for 6 weeks with a dislocated shoulder playing touch footy at training in the leadup to the Bye. The Bye may not have won teh game but looks like it has dealt Souths a savage blow.
The Bye we have two of them. They are not there because we have a odd number of teams but beacuse the NRL feel that during SOO period we all need 2 weekends off. In this period club football is sub-standard, crowds drop off. Rather than shuffling 2 weks off over 8 weekends, lets just have 4 dedicated rep weekends playing SOO on the weekends. Soccor rather than Rugby has shown us the way to address the increasing populartiy of international football.
