  1. Souths easy and 1st step towards Latrell working into full stride by round 3 and showing oxford st Teddy who the best fullback in the NRL is.
    Problem for Fittler come origin is that Latrell will be the best FB in the NRL but oxford st Teddy is useless at any other position than FB.
    Latrell might extend a favor to oxford st teddy and settle for centre in the name of good sportsmanship.

  2. Soufths look vulnerable with the over weight Fatrell at fullback and knight at lock. Bennett the washed up relic knows the back to back premiership and back to back World Club Champion lock Victorious Radley, will be the number 1 lock this year and grab Murrays rep spot that was gifted to him last season when Radley gave Murray the jump after playing number 9 for the injured Friend. But that wonโ€™t happen this year. Hence the old timer Bennet in his Autumn years using a little wisdom that remains by moving Murray to second Row to hide his embarrassment if bowing to the king of big game winning locks ……..Victorious Radley.

  3. Strong team for Souths, they have quite good depth in the forwards, by all reports Amone is killing it as is Seme and Mago, also Radley is a player i rate highly, but can’t see him displacing Murray, even if he stays in the second row, Origin has a habit of picking players out of their club positions, Tedesco is the best fullback by a mile, no disputing that, he is all class, hopefully Latrell can excel at fullback and have no doubt he will, will just need some time to adjust.

  4. Radley will never play reps whilst champion superstar Murray is available.
    Like comparing a Ferrari to a rusted out 64 Volkswagen.

  5. With the Rabbits indigenous multitude of flop players getting rolled by the Moari on the weekend. No captain will be able to direct the big ego green and red non anthem singers with the Gerrman Flag colours to success this season. Reynolds is not a leader. Cook is the man for the job.

    But……. Not even Captain Cook would be able to endeavour the challenges. Souths with this ego problem and the lack of a good forward pack will indeed be the laughingstock of the NRL this season. Souths have peaked under two different coaches and had the same result both seasons. Chokers one game short of the big dance. This season the big dance is in never never land. Hahahahaha

  6. See even the Soufths fans like TwentyOne are trying to be like their indigenous players, by bringing up their Gerrman flag colours when he mentions Hittttlers curse on the world.
    A Volkswagen.

  7. If I recall wasnโ€™t it the deadly indigenous brother Latrell Mitchell who won the grand final last year. Without heโ€™s deadly black magic roosters wouldnโ€™t have won. Plus on the biggest stage in nrl, wasnโ€™t it another indigenous brother winning the Clive Churchill medal

  8. Poor Adamhowardstein, I presume he feels the same about Mercs as well.

  9. BTW, had a Volkswagen myself when I was young and absolutely loved everything about that iconic gift to the world.

    Ahhh Todd i believe it was Keary . Mitchell just had to catch and pass
    Our new Superstar Mitchell crumbled under pressure, missing easy goal kicks.

    We want to buy Keary back… we will pay any amount

    No toddy123, this fine game we follow. is a team effort… that’s one of the reasons why Mitchell was SACKED from the Chooks.
    I’m sick of all your racial slurs… the indigenous population make up 3.3% of Australians, take out the bitzas, Souffs, let alone the All Stars, wouldn’t field a team ….

  12. Toddy123 most will agree with you.
    Admittedly Keary was involved in both of the diabolical tries which gifted the sombreros the GF.
    The 1st was when he kicked the ball in the opening 2 minutes which his extra fullback stopped a certain Raiders try resulting in a sombreros try in the next set and the 2nd was towards the end after the ref illegally changed his mind on the 6th tackle count robbing the Raiders of the match winning try. The sombreros were 100% gone and out for the count.
    Biggest sham of a GF ever witnessed and will always be remembered as the most shameful win in history.

    “No toddy123, this fine game we follow. is a team effortโ€ฆ thatโ€™s one of the reasons why Mitchell was SACKED from the Chooks.”

    So why is the Sydney Sombreros coach now forever referred to as Trent ‘Taree’ Robinson?

    Because Idiots like you DO

  15. Dragons will treat this like their GF. Mary needs something to go his way with the pressure on him.
    If the dragons can’t win this the noise will get louder for him.

    I fear injuries in this game

    With Mitchell We will see him be exposed at FB. Maybe not this game but definitely in the early rounds He hasn;’t got the motor for Fb week in week out. The fact he goes missing in games will further show

  16. Dog
    we have always suspected Latrell may choke like he did in last years SOO and GF thats why we need to buy more high profile players

    Good luck to the Dogs this season.. keep in mind if you do well we will buy your players ” for less” Bwahahahah

    Wrong…. it was Keary who spotted the overlap and took off running from dummyhalf, as Leilua was getting up off the ground from the play the ball. Then passing it to the centre, who could have been a 2nd rate centre because all that was needed was quick hands to the Winger Tupou, who then after a gallop set up Tedesco to score the Premiership winner try,

    Plus on the biggest stage in nrl, wasnโ€™t it another indigenous brother winning the Clive Churchill medal

    That white bloke Wighton might have a 1/32 of Original bloodline in him but if he did not carry a birth certificate of his great great great great grandmomma, nobody would know. But if you wanted the true man of the match it definitely should have been Morris.

  18. S.S.SomHom…
    Yet another from the WoodTool files..
    As SomHom, WoodSack got one thing right though. Saying that the Import Nuggets are always buying players.
    For St.George. They last year had better Canterbury Cup players than Fuimaono. . He was totally useless last season, when he wasnโ€™t out injured.
    Good to see Clune in that team though. A good half , who should remain in the first grade team.
