  • Well, what a relief. Joy at last!

    Brian Smith came up with a great plan early. The Souths big blokes were gassed after 10 minutes and went off pretty quick. As soon as that happened, on came Jaubs and Ryles(who had a strong game).

    I thought Pearce was a bit tentative at the start, but with time he became more confident and ran the show pretty well.

    Props to Anasta for playing as long as he did, the bloke had a through and through concussion. Brave decision to stay on the field.

    Our Props, even though manhandled at times, executed the plan perfectly with tight defence and secure ball handling.

    Props to Conn and Kouparitsas, i thought both had good games with limited minutes, especially Conn, who i saw do a lot of clean up work.

    Maubs was bloody class.

    SKD made me eat some humble pie, it looks like he is a great fit at centre. Funny to see his long strides taking him away from Sandow even though intitially he was getting outsprinted.

    Carney is a spark player.

    However in a field of his own was Nate Myles. Some of the stuff he was involved in weas dead set inspirational. He was doing it last year as well however it is much more effective when done without 10 extra kg.

    My points:

    3. Myles
    2. Maubs
    1. SKD/Carney

    • Guerra fitted in well as well.

          • Awesome win today. After 6 and a half months of being bullied about getting the wooden spoon, now there is something else to talk about. I thought it would be a tough game given Souths have bought a lot of good players in the off season but we just smashed them. I was watching the game on television but I am looking forward to watching more of Todd Carney, looks like he was worth a chance.

            • best signs i thought was losing two players early in the game, and we kept getting stronger in defence and better in attack. Smith has them all very switched on. very good signs for this season.

              • our performance was described by a word that it hasnt been for a long time...

                clinical..

                i couldnt agree more. we stuck to the game plan throughout the match and it payed off.

                clinical display

                • I watched the game and even when we were up I was thinking geez we just don't have the forwards to take us to the next level... then I remembered we have Hargraves coming back... geez he will add another dimension.

                    Exactly right, imagine having Hargraves and Cherrinton on the bench coming on and adding that size in our pack. This side has great potential, i think its a well balanced team.

                    • They panned to the Roosters dressing room before the game and it showed them doing their warm-up, and off to the side were Smith and Mini laughing and sharing a joke. It showed how relaxed they were and how they weren't feeling under any pressure. They were confident in their preparation and their ability and it showed in their performance.

                      • Lovely news to start Monday off that we beat those pesky vermin! YES!
                        Don't be afraid to step out in the rain. Take a chance. Sometimes the only way to get your rainbow is by getting wet.

                        • It can be difficult not getting too far ahead of ourselves..

                          We like to talk about how good we were yesterday..

                          A question that needs to be asked is...

                          How bad were Souths??

                            They played as well as we let them..

                            Souffs had no say in what was going on out there yesterday..

                            That is probably the most pleasing part for me..

                            We controlled that game
