Check out the ladder

[swoop]

We're at the very top and the slime are at the very bottom. No matter what happens I'll be having a great wekend with a win and arch rivals beaten.

Well, in reality we're on 4pts +25 after all.

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

Still there, hopefully for a few weeks more.

 

[NREagle]

Best defence and best attack in the comp

 

[Dan]

Come on pandemic to shut down the season so we can take it out

 

[ManlyTragic]

Well, in reality we're on 4pts +25 after all.

Yeah … but unfortunately we don’t get to improve on our for and against

Best start to a season I can remember. Anybody remember the last time we led the comp at the end of round 1? Do you have to go all the way back to the 90's?

Never mind looks like it was 2007

Have a look at the prices to win the competition of the first 5 teams. South’s is the only team under double figure odds. Haven’t there been some surprise results this weekend. Beats the same favoured teams winning all the time.

And the Bulldogs are LAST .........

 

[StuBoot]

Yep, but the naysayers will say we've only beaten last and still haven't beaten a Top 4 side despite our lofty ladder position.

We certainly need to get a roll on after the bye

Right now I’d say the souths odds are low because of all their rabid fans betting on them. Bookies covering their arses.

Yep thanks to SuperCoach Ciraldo at the express recommendation of Phil Gould.

I recall a similar result when Gould recommended another bloke called Barrett.

Look - Let's not get over the top here.
But if any of you crazy mfs told me we would be 2nd on the table at this time/ I'm doin massive backflips.
Hell yeh!!
We can whine and bitch about what's gone wrong, but I feel good we are amongst it ......what's the vibes out there - gotta be happy so far ??

 

[Will on the hill]

2nd place is nice and all but we are closer to 9th than we are to 1st.

Definitely happy to be at the right end of the table but we are also 1 point from 9th. 1 point is basically scraping in because we have infinite f/a.

 

[Will on the hill]

We are 1 forward pass call and a DCE field goal away from equal 1st. Also a Saab knock on and a Hastings field goal away from 10th.
Surprised it's still so tight after 8 rounds. The differences are so tiny. I just need to sit back and enjoy the ride for what it is.

Lots of teams with new coaches come out swinging. the draw has been helpful overall IMO , but really solid start on the ladder.

4 wins and a draw from 7 is a pass mark for sure. Probably exceeds expectations. At leas5 the betting agencies

Form seems scratchy . Within 7 days they handed in the penrith and storm work……..wow, but thats footy

its been on the back of forwards though

paseka, bully and sipley have been big improvers
aioli still getting match fitnesss a little but solid. Dont like him in 13 though
jake has been inspiring as well as removing his trundle carries being a positive
oku has been one of the best forwards in the comp
croker continues to improve despite his injury niggles. Would love to see him kick more,
burbo looked better in the little we saw but not related to team position

tuiliga has been ok, maybe.
keppie average

the bench has provided impact mostly and at times the defence brutal
not too much injury disruption for the forwards

the backs have been patchy With more injury and less improvement overall
Parker solid, saab building

tippy, koula, garrick, johns, schuster,harper, all limited impact for varying reasons, but not too many 7/10 performances in that lot overall

tom , dce,……….well, the stats say BOTH are on fire, gotta love the stats.

Did Canterbury steal Ciraldo?

Because according to the world’s most handsome former player and coach, Manly ‘stole’ Paseka from the Tigers.
