With all the players Souths do buy, you should think they could buy a goal kicker.
Lucky win from a forward pass on the bell.
Great win against the odds against a full strength dragons.
Did you choke on your bagel Franky?
forward pass to win the game but Souths deserved the win
Will get better with 4 big guns coming back soon.
They never gave up.
Just looked at the replay.
Not forward.
Great game Cody.
Talk about heart breaking losses lol. Good game to watch though.
Nicely placed on the ladder.
Top 4 getting closer.
Saints will knock over a few with full side back only de Belin missing.
Corruption is rife in the game after the referee did not rule that last pass of the game forward.
The Nrl need to relegate the ref involved. Blatantly Forward. To frightened to call it.
Saints season is definitely over now.
The commentary team made no mention of any forward passes. Forward passes must be in the eyes of the beholder.
Congratulations Jason Saab coming through the Souths juniors.
Bright future.
Frankfurter, who in the commentators called it a forward pass.
It’s what you wanted to believe as usual.
Trade in your 12 inch black and white for something clearer.
Pretty sure Saab is not a Souths junior mate
In the end the best team won, not one commentator or player even hinted that was a forward pass.
Saints fielded their best team this year and Souths still missing a few, but seriously Souths should have won easily, Reynolds 0 from 3 did not help
Unless playing for Merrylands and Saints SG ball makes him a bunny π€π€π€
My apologies I believe the commentator said he was a souths junior.
Entertaining game with Souths tiring in the end.
I cant help thinking if the Rabbits played a team higher than 3rd last then they definitely would be on the losing side tonight.
Saints defence when Souths claimed the ball from a short kick off wss extremely poor. The pass looks forward from Roberts on the replay.
Anyway it doesn’t matter if it was or if it wasn’t. The points have been awarded.
Did Stephanie.syd just admit he was wrong. Maybe you were thinking of Charlie Saab from the 80’s.
Souths fans love to reminisce about the old days when they won 20 premierships between 1908 and 1971
You see Souths won the Premiership tally in the 20th century but their rivals Sydney are leading the Premiership tally in this 21st century.
I wonder what the crowd was and if Souths so called 30k members turned out tonight, or was it their usual 20 to 23k of the 30k that stayed home and watched on the box.
I think it was a smallish crowd of around twelve thousand. Always looks so empty out there.
No wonder Souths fans stay away.
I reckon there is more atmosphere at home with the volume turned up high and a few people in the “lounge” room.

Saab is a Parramatta junior.
Another one of ours making other teams better.
WHERE’S Priscilla? π€‘π€‘π²π²π€‘π€‘ππππ€‘π€‘π€‘ LOL
βCongratulations Jason Saab coming through the Souths juniors.

Hahahaha wrong again Stephanie, why do you just make $hit up?, you crackhead.
Jason saab dad wore his souths jumper to stmerge when his son got signed up by stmerge…he will end up at souths because his family are all bunnies members and his dad is a burrow member…
Sack mary saab should had played rd1
Well shadow you lunatic you need to realise that Saab is part of the development squad so he wasnβt available before June 30. He is also contracted for a 4 more years so donβt get too excited just yet ππ»
Back2back19 you obviously choked on your bagel after the last great try to Souths.
Explains why you took so long to get on here for your usual gibberish comments.
Regarding saab, not convinced on him yet but time will tell.
Great win with 4 big guns still missing from Souths.
Always the better side against a full strength dragons and building nicely.
Tom looked fresh and made great inroads with his power running.
With Sam and Liam coming back into the forward pack Wayne has a nice problem to deal with.
Dynamic Johnston will add to the new speed of our backs and will chime in nicely with Roberts.
I look at others in contention, the roosters will struggle against strong forward packs.
Playing Bulldogs twice in 5 rounds and beating an unlucky Newcastle who bombed 4 sitters in the 1st half revealed their weakness.
Friend is busted, Keary is now fragile, Crighton ruined in 6 months at the roosters after souths developed him into a great player.
Crighton , Morris , Radley, Mitchell and Toupou all origin discards and Ryan Hall a big failure after discarding Ferguson for him.
Watch this space.
I dont follow either team but I was interested how the home crowd average between Sydney and Souths, brought to our attention by the hilarious Woody and Russ kept harping on was going.
Well I found the link to the site and added last nights figures to Souths.
To my surprise Those two previously mentoned were right with the figures.
After each club has played 9 games each, Sydney average 19301 to Souths 14830.
With only 3 home games each have to play, it looks like at this stage Sydney attract far more people through the gates than Souths.
Personally I hope these to rivals clash in the 2019 grand final, but unfortunately with the top eight system the two best sides don’t always meet in the big game like they always did with a top 5 system. Last season I feel the grand final was played the week before when Souths lost in a close one to Sydney.
I ask the question AGAIN, since when did crowd figures win competitions?
βBack2back19 you obviously choked on your bagel after the last great try to Souths.
Explains why you took so long to get on hereβ
I have better things to do Friday nights, not everyone sits alone by themselves like you Stephanie. Itβs good to know you get your information from commentators instead of following the lower grades like a proper football fan tho.
remember when you tried claiming cook as a Souths junior Stephanie?
So many Winging Merger fans on this site.
4 trys to 2 is decisive with 3 missed goals that kept the Mergers in the game.
Get over it, the pass was good as the ball came out of his hand in a backward motion.
You IDIOTS should really look up the Laws of Physics!
There were at least 5 Merger Knock-ons and 2 Forward passes that were let go but you all fail to mention that.
Penso, Reyno actually kicked 2 from 5, NOT 0 from 3 mate.
The rabbitohs only have 9 Home games this season as
1 was in Brisbane
1 on the Sunshine Coast
1 at the Central Coast.
Merger fans, just have a look at the Ladder!
Back2Crack19 I never claimed Cooky as a Souths junior but i do recall your prediction on Souths finishing around 13th this year and recently stating Manly would beat them by 30 on top of Souths heading for 5 losses in a row.
Go easy on those bagels.
Don’t bother 3hats, common sense and logic is void of a few in here.
Your points are an example of fact but disregarded by those who close their eyes to it.
EdwoodwoodWOODY7 make up your mind.
1st you predicted Souths would miss the top 8 and now you’re pretending you hope Souths play the roosters in the GF?
On a level playing field it will be Souths v Storm or Souths v Raiders.
Roosters don’t have the forwards to match these teams at full strength as you will see when roosters v raiders soon and the v Souths R25 where they will get smashed like R1.
As far as I’m aware Woody died 2mths ago while his old buddy got expelled as your Woodchock was expelled Stephanie.Syd.
I dont follow the Chooks but I do recall when they hit form last season they easily accounted for three big size packs of forwards in disposing of Cronulla, Souths and Melbourne in a four week period to claim the title. Napa was suspended and played a small 20 min cameo role in the GF only and Matterson played a 25min role in each game. I feel Sydney, with Crichton yet to peek and possibly Topounua or Faamausillie or Collins will be just as potent as last season.
But in saying all that there is a long way to go, teams could lose a key player to injury or suspension and everything changes. At this stage I predict a Sydney vs Souths GF.
Steve..syd thats exactly what the league world said at the beginning of last season about the Sydney Roosters but history states they had the dominant forwards.
I do recall during the off season and this year, how many Souths fans on here kept telling Woody how the Roosters do not have any fans, it looks like you all have egg on your faces now that the Sydney Roosters are 4500 fans in front of Souths per every home game on average.
Chalky I think you will find that the Roosters played 3 home games away from their SCG home also. With 3 games each to play I reckon the Chooks have got them.
I wont mention any names penso, but didn’t you qote that when Souths go good league goes good, well it looks like the tables are switch this century. Ahahahah
Sydney is currently attracting the best home crowd figures from their greater Sydney rivals.
Including majority opposition fans at rooster home games doesn’t make them rooster fans as mentioned by the commentators every game that there appears to be more opposition fans at the game.
The scg is also located at moore park which is easy to get to so thousands of league fans regardless of who they support can go and watch a game.
Enough of the gibberish rubbish on rooster numbers at home games because you and your rooster buddies want to believe it.
Everyone else knows your constant seeking of acknowledgement on this is garbage and will never come so accept the facts and deal with it stupid.
Frank, my comment on when South Sydney are good the league is good stands true, you know it and most of the league knows it.
The crowd figures, first game of the year Easts v Souths at the SCG what was it 30,000 odd thousand with the commentators saying 75% of crowd were Souths, Easts live on further by the Anzac game against Saints, then they take away games to help prop up their crowd figures, this happens all the time with Easts, the fact you cannot deny is that Easts have no paid membership, close to the worst in the league, but yet, the fact they continue to be successful, people don’t jump on the band wagon with that, but, Easts, NO, people respect the brand, Easts crowd figures are like Anthony Mundine, they go to see them get beaton and eventually they will fail to the point where the league will need to relocate them, both for their survival and the NRL survival.
Penso mate, my point is Souths are going good but league is going no better with your teams home average when the Roosters are gonib just as good bif not better being the premiers and their home crowd average is lots better.
That myth may have been true when they had 12 Sydney teams but that theory is finished these days, with teams from Brisbane who this season home average is 28.5k, Melbourne 20.2k , Newcastle 20.2k, Sydney 19.3k, NZ 17.6
Souths are not even in the top eight but the Roosters are 4th. Souths usually get between 11-13k this season except for the round in Brisbane filled with Brisbane people of 34k is the only reason why Souths have 14.8k when in reality it is more like 12.5k if you take about 20k away from that round.
In the home and away aversge the Roosters 18.3k are 2nd to Brisbane 23.2k
So this also proves your theories wrong. People love to watch Sydney play Footy.
So keep dreaming Stephanie.Syd and penso. Those are the facts. Go have a look for yourself.
https://afltables.com/rl/crowds/2019.html
You are absolutely 100% correct penso on every point you make.
Please repeat the exact wording in every topic Edwoodenspoon1 and Frankstein where he brings up the home crowd numbers gibberish.
The sooner the nrl relocates the no grass roots juniors and dismal membership roosters, credibility to the game will be restored.
The attempt to downplay no juniors and poor numbers in membership as irrelevant to the credibility of a club is total garbage.
They are the 2 most important factors in the existence of all nrl clubs.
The roosters just dont belong in the eastern suburbs of Sydney whilst a powerhouse in South Sydney overshadows this mob.
Another fact that not many South Sydney fans are not aware of boys, is Bennett’s semi final record from 2007 onwards is below average if not poor. 10 wins from 22 semis is only a 45% win rate.
While your rival coach from the Roosters semi record reads 9 wins from 14 a 64% win rate.
The bottom line is Brisbane sacked Bennett because his magic of winning premierships with practically a test team in his early Bronco career has wayned and is non existant in this present era.
As Chalky your Souths mate likes to state memberships don’t win premierships Stephanie.Syd, however were Chalky is wrong, home Crowd supporters do contribute to winning premierships.
I happened to be at the Preliminary Final at the Roosters home game and as a nutural fan I witnessed with my own eyes the record 43k ground record was 60 to 65% Sydney fans, that inspired the Roosters home in a close contest on score only, but those Chooks dominated 3 tries to nil and really won comfortably.
The chants being bellowed out from the 65% home crowd was deafening and inspired them into the Grand Final
So Home Crowds are important Chalky they do help win comps unlike half of the 30k Souths members staying home.
Wrong again. The majority crowd were Souths fans.
Stop telling porky bagels and get back to appreciating the great win by souths last night.
Dont give a rat’s ass about your crowd myths in this topic.
Souths great win against the odds is what we are here about so please disappear you imbecolic moron.
Brissydragon is a deadset loser π€‘π€‘π€‘π€‘π€‘ππππ€£π€£π€£π€£π€£πππππππππππππππππππππππ
Edwoodwood1 so what your are pointing out as a fact is that since 2007 Bennett trained teams have played 8 more times in semis than rooster coached teams.
Another attempt by you to manipulate statistics to favor your argument just like your constant reference to home crowd figures choosing to omit the fact that the majority of fans at rooster home games are opposition supporters as mentioned by the commentators just about every time.
More importantly, tell us what your research has uncovered as to why the roosters no longer have a grass roots juniors competition and why they are struggling with memberships, the 2 most important factors in a strong case for relocation.
Why have the roosters changed their name for the 4th time to the current title of Sydney Roosters?
I read a media article the current name change was to cater for the rooster’s widening fan base.
What widening fan base? LOL
Sydney Roosters has also failed so as a staunch rooster man have your researching skills revealed another name change in the pipeworks?
Great news that Souths dirty rotten scoundrel George “Eye Gouger” Burgess, has officially signed with a decent team coached by ex Rooster Adrian Lam.
George the Grub wanted to play with the champions Sydney Roosters but they could not find a spot for him in their 17.
He will open his own Facebook account once in England and promised Sam he will not flash his butt on Sams account again while in Australia. Sam showed everyone his firemans cap before the semis last season if we all recall.
