2021 - The Cyber View from the Hill

2nd June 2021

Souths Bounce Back

The return of Murray helped set Souths back on the right track. Souths left side edge was dominate once again. It was the third game in a row that Souths scored 38 points against Parramatta, where the forwards helped set the plaform before the backs took control. We are equal 3rd and need 6 more wins to make the semi's. Now for a rest during Origin I.

Johnston and Gagai Hatrick

What a great day on the left side. Alex Johnston scored a hattrick to take his tally to 12 for the season taking his tally to 118 tries, in clear 3rd place on the all time try scorers list. And not be undone Dane Gagai also scored 3 tries. They are a leathal combination on left outside of Walker and Mitchell.

Fahey runaway match winner

It was even in the U21s game, Souths blocked two field goal attempts, when Parramatta chipped Fahey caught the ball 10m out and then stepped and was in the clear and ran 90m to score and win the game. He is the nephew of the Terry Fahey with lightning speed and step.

Congratulations to our Girl reps

Congratulations to Akira Kelly, Tazmyne Luchwidtz and Rikka Lamb who were selecetd in the First Nation Gems squad, under Rabbitohs coach Dean Widders. They made the final only to lose in golden point

Origin should move to Tuesday

With the advent of Thursday night football which replaced Monday night football, Origin should return to Tuesday nights. This means we can play representative weekends, and players will be fresher for the following weekend games. Its is crazy to try and backup one day after Origin.
