We played the smarter game, and thoroughly deserved the win.. Awesome feeling beating Souths and I feel this could go a long way in building confidence for this season particularly when we get the full squad back.

[fletch]

Wonder why Teddy didn't do the post match press conference.

[Mickie Lane]

I’m just so glad I was there to witness the win.

He's still very young so they gave him a report card instead.

[Big Dog]

this is pitiful

If I had posted that I'd be banned.

Also mentioned on Fox

robbo says a bit of fitness is coming for a few players

[Mickie Lane]

JWH makes a massive difference when he plays.

[Eggspert]

Robbo threw Manu under the bus with the "he got the tackle wrong" comment.

Better to play dumb with the question.

[Mickie Lane]

I’m in Maccas at Drummoyne with heaps of Roosters supporters.
Only Roosters supporters in Roosters jumpers, unbelievable.

the Bellamy special "I didnt see it properly to have an opinion on it"

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Loved what I seen from the guys tonight. Thats why I thought we'd still get em even 10 zip down.

Baker, Butchers (esp Nat tonight), Collins Paulo and Teddy all great.

Special mention to the mercurial JWH.

Just owned that ruck when he came on. Dominant.

We were probably more dominant than the scoreline suggests.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Cody Walker is still shaking his head after failing to milk it, and is currently frothing at the mouth waiting for Nat Butcher in the car park

Wasnt that milk fail such sweet justice?

the Souths supporters would be outside looking through the bins wouldn’t they
