Theres only one thing better than going to a friday game & winning thus freeing up your weekend for happiness & relief, that is winning on the friday of a long weekend

 

Hasler fined 10k for boo hooing. Caps off a great night.

 

Had to happen eventually. He whinges even when his team wins.

 

good win for the pride , christ morris done a number on kingy all arvo lost count on how many times he pushed him off , thank god many of em was'nt close to the tryline. 3 wins after 6 rounds , pass mark for maguire.

 

2 of those losses were lost in the last couple min. So I would say a much more improved Rabbitohs side.

Alot of Souths good playing is from losing Sandow... That man single handedly knew how to completely **** up a game.

 

two losses against Melbourne & Brisbane, two sides i rate the highest so far & one to the scum which we really should have won

I can see us evolving, although the injury ward is looking a little bleak, may have lost Asotasi for the season if his peck is bad

 

Yeah. What'll **** me off is that Richardson will big note himself in the paper applauding himself for going with Reynolds. Despite the fact that he fought tooth and nail to keep Sandow, and offered him over 400K.

Reynolds got involved a lot today, and his kicks were pretty good. Even on his bad days, he's still somewhat solid defensively, which is something at least.

Dave Taylor went very well too. Looks like he's actually playing for a contract. :hey

 

Bad loss, and one that just may do Asotasi, despite him still being only 30.

I'd like it if Rusty was able to clear the way for him to go to Leeds or some other ESL club we are affiliated with. Takes up a huge chunk of our cap, and doesnt really earn it due to injury. No fault of his own, but business is business.

We already came into 2012 light on props, and now we're down Luke Burgess, Sam Burgess, and Asotasi along with Geddes playing injured.

 

Disagree about taylor, the guy is too soft for mine. Watch how many times he is third and fourth man in to tackles, rarely being effective at all. Have a look at his attempt of tackle defending his line when the dogs scored, forget which bulldogs player it was that crossed the line. I know he is there as an attacking weapon but even still...kris keating man handled the big slug one on one. For his size, he is just too soft for mine.

Their was talk about him having second thoughts about joining the titans. I bet cartwright hopes thats true.

 

Cartwright just better hope he still has a job next year titans have been horrible for 2 years and if true to form win the spoon if a new consortium takes over ill sure there will be a new coach there too, good win by souths doing ok so far best part of it bulldogs finally crash back to earth, they'll just scrape in the 8, lol at matt king he's 50 percent the player he was 3/4 Years ago

 

Reynolds shits on Sandow. Best thing to happen for Souths.

 

Taylor had his best game for ages on friday night, he finally got amongst it & grafted rather than trying to pick his ruins & be an impact player

I suspect former coaches have always wanted him to perform more quality rather than quantity, pick his runs out wide, save himself etc, whereas Madge is more of a coach that wants hard work, structure & evryone doing their job, i reckon Taylor is hopefuly, finally coming to terms with his job

 

He was guilty of trying to arm grab there, but aside from that, he was very good, and has now put in 2 very good games in a row.

I know he has his faults, and thats the reason why McGuire hasnt been too keen for him to stay, but noone can deny how destructive he is when he's on his game.

 

Yeah the dogs were awful in the 2nd half, fat useless forwards getting in the way, pushing each other out of the way and doing nuffing passes.

 

Yeah, i guess it depends on how forgiving you are about negatives in his game compared to his positives. Im probably thinking like the coach...the negatives are pretty obvious and dont fit in to the culture he wants to instill in the side. Thats why he dropped him ( before injury to burgess)
