How good was GI's tackle on Uate?! Tackle of the season. The nightmares from last round, last year have now been erased.
It was very good but Barba has made a couple better this season. The commentary boys were just in worship GI mode.
Teke, my 6 month sentence is just days away from coming to an end. How many months do you have me for? I believe I lost 2 bets to you (Souths V Titans, and Souths V Manly).
See! Minichiello gets not guilty and now he thinks jumping up and trying to take the opposing fullbacks head off is legal. :-( it happens to some players once they lose some skill a bit of thuggery enters their game :deal
Maybe, but you're right. I do remember barba's tackles now and they were better. I just got carried away with the moment.
Barba has? None have stuck out in my mind. What has stuck out is Barbas attempt on Reece Robinson last week :yep That GI tackle was a corka
What made GI's special was that Uate's is unstoppable that close to the line. Whenever you see him run the ball up from kick returns, he always bends the line back and is a handful for any forward. It was great work to not only stop Uate on the fly, but to strip the ball, knock it back to Merritt, and for Merritt to stay in the field without being tackled into touch.
This content is protected The missing spots are now confirmed with bronco's finishing 8th, and Sharks finishing 7th. As a Souths fan, if we lose in week 1, I'd actually rather play either of Raiders/Sharks in Sydney than either of Cows/Bronco's. Dogs/Manly to kick off the finals should be brilliant, and a possible grand final preview. I'm tempted to throw $100 on a Manly/Dogs half time/full time bet. Despite Souths having never won down in Melbourne, I reckon we're a decent chance. Melbourne didnt look at all convincing against the Sharks last week, and arent as intimidating at home as they once were. Cows should beat Brisbane. They seem to have the wood over the Bronco's and will be at home too. Raiders/Sharks could be anything. I'll tip the Raiders. It seemed a certainty that Furner would be sacked just 2 months ago, now he's about a win away from getting a big pass mark for the season. Cronulla looked ordinary today.
Rabbitohs best hope that they face Manly instead of Dogs if it comes to it... Dogs have got some incredible momentum ATM, playing really good footy. I predict a 70K Crowd at the Manly - Dogs game.
