Other Games [Week 1, finals, 2021]

How good is Reynolds

Donkies must be stoked watching him totally direct the play but hoping he doesn’t get injured

 

[XV-1]

No way I reckon parker or Harper would of been able to handle that. Sounds just were able to constantly get numbers in cover defence.

It was effort on effort and players inside or outside making the additional effort to bring the attacking players down.

Take note Manly!!

 

[BOZO]

Great win by Souths without their Latrell . Very resilient

One thing saying what to do and another having the ability to do it

We could take a few lessons from that match in how to defend properly. I wish we defended like south's tonight that's how you play and win finals footy

 

[40 nil]

That was great finals match. Well done South Sydney. If only we had a quality back up fullback like Taaffe! At this stage I don't see the Panthers having enough attack to win the comp.

Gus is pissed lol…

C'mon Bozo. Of course we can do it.
If speed bump Gagai can do it, we can do it!!

We did not do it last week . I hope we can do it against the roosters

The great thing about Souths tonight was not just their defence but also their ability to score the winning tries without their strike fullback

 

[wombatgc]

Did they ruin your multi…

No. Just hate ‘em

 

[QueefRichards]

If Croker is back for us I am liking our chances

 

[Rafferty]

No. Just hate ‘em

I hate em too mate, but gee I wish our boys would give their all like they did tonight

 

[Waz13]

Well that changes our side of the draw!

No longer a chance of a Melb/Panthers GF.

Is that beneficial to Manly? Time will tell. Rooters first, then Souths.

Wow to beat both those advantaged clubs to get to a GF would be so satisfying...

Def helps us!

 

[eaglebuzz]

This is really ideal for us. Now the two clubs with the best chance of knocking out Melbourne are on the other side of the draw and we just need to beat depleted Roosters and Souths sides.

Bunnies played well tonight but they're very beatable.

 

[Waz13]

That was great finals match. Well done South Sydney. If only we had a quality back up fullback like Taaffe! At this stage I don't see the Panthers having enough attack to win the comp.

Will be interesting to see how Taafe goes in a prelim final. We get through Easts I like our chances of another GF appearance

The great thing about Souths tonight was not their defence but also their ability to score the winning tries without their strike fullback

Don’t worry @BOZO ours will be back next week.

 

[Jay Eagle]

Souths played as a team tonight, they played for each other and did all the 1% plays with desperation and grit.

The last 10 minutes the Riff got into positions to score off virtually every set only for desperate Souths defence never saying die.

If you watch our game back in particular the tries you will see our players get beaten on the outside and theres no second effort to make up the ground and go again.

First try, Harper drops the ball and the storm players ( two in fact) rush to pick up the ball when SAAB was closer to the ball and there is ZERO desperation

Welchs try he come from the back fence, surely Marty, Jake and Turbo have clear vision of this yet Turbo is standing 2m inside the ingoal ( what hes doing there that far back at that play the ball I don't know because even if he makes a tackle the player is already in goal) and even when the attempted tackle by Jake / Marty is made Tommy is still in the ingoal. There needed to be EFFORT there from all three of those players to stop Welch, Tommy had to push up hard into the online defence

Pantyhoses try there is no communication, DCE come out of the line but Gauc is on his heels and "plodding" across providing an even bigger gap to get through, again no second effort to push up hard and get into the line

Pantyhoses second try again its Guac, just "jogging" across field because he thinks the play is going to the outside but Olam steps back inside pushes off Harper and theres a massive hole to run through, Guac then is close enough to attempt an anckles tackle but if he pushed across hard in the first place that try doesn't happen.

theres 4 BIG effort plays that were required from our boys and they didnt execute .. and ultimately they paid the price. Go watch the highlight ( Lowlights really) and see for yourself.

I didn't think the storm were that good, they were just a lot hungrier than us in ever aspect of the game.

Oldest motto in the game PLAY FOR EACH OTHER... attitude in defence is what wins matches... Souths showed that tonight

 

[BOZO]

Don’t worry @BOZO ours will be back next week.

I was really pumped up against the Storm .

I really liked out chances

But after seeing what I saw I was gutted

Absolutely gutted !!!

as I hate losing with a passion .

We did not just lose

We were totally outclassed by 40 points

Surely we beat the roosters who have Cordner , Friend , Keary , Manu , Morris , and Collins out
