Souths started the game like a house on fire making breaks against the Dragons almos tat will. But after the initial onslaught our right side was exposed with a few old Wayne Bennett set plays.

Nathan Merritt was back at his try scoring best scorng a hat trick of tries today against the Dragons.

Chris Centrone bagged a treble against Wentworthville showing off his speed out on the wing.

Greg Inglis this week was crucified by the media as they tried their hardest to have the Shoulder Charge banned. Greg had no chance at the judicary as the tackle where Dean Yong was being tackled by Farrell was given a very harsh Grade 3.

Souths were backing up after a MNF match and while they started well dropped off in the composure giving away 7 penalities. Error count was very good as was completion rate, but missed tackles is still high. Effective 1st tackles was poor for the game drifting out to 34.3m this week.
