You could see the change in class from last wek to this week as Souths set about and performed a demolishion job on wooden spooners Parramatta. It was great to see teh entire backline score a try each.

In recokognition of Neil Armstrong passing away on the day of the match Greg Inglis launched former Rabbitoh Chris Sandow into orbit.

After some off field issues Issac was dropped to the Bears. Maguire has now had established first graders Luke, Asotasi and Merritt all play with teh Bears this season and he is not afraid to drop anyone.

Now that the NRL TV deal has been determined, we should serious look to set a timetable for the games expanion. We should get to 18 teams in 2015 with markets of Ipswich and Central Coast should be seen as a priority.

Stats across the park showed how much Souths dominated the game Effective 1st tackles was the best all season at to 19.4m this week.

Looking at our left side defence - Merritt-King-Sutton-Pettybourne (1-1-1-1) improved to 4 from 6 missed tackles last week. On the right side Everingham-Farrell-Reynolds-Taylor (1-3-4-2) also dropped to 10 from 11 last week.

On the positive side our missed tackles were good this week but errors were up. Our go forward was huge this week with Sam & Luke Burgess, Asotasi, Taylor and Crocker cracking the 100+m. Defensively Crocker was our best in the tackling raking up 28 tackles. With Sam Burgess, Peats and Clark not missing a tackle.
