This is another one of those 'don't get complacent' games.... Spot on. A couple of rounds out from the finals, complacency is inexcusable. Whilst the first half against the Knights was disappointing in a few areas, it was great to see two important things; 1. Completions were high. We didn't throw ...

That seems as good as we can hope for!

True. Although a white hot patch of form from Billy will hold us in good stead for back to back titles. He has obviously lost some pace but is starting to find some form again after a lull.

C'mon Billy. A try each week between now and the GF, then a hattrick in the GF and you finish this year in outright 5th

In reference to your paragraph on PENALIES the count may have been 10-2 against the storm but they only had THEMSELVES to blame 8 of them were for kidstuff 6 for holding down 2 for raking the ball out Holding down penalties are cut and dry now are they? Pretty sure they are determined by the refere...

Some interesting stats from the game; Penalties Knights 10 - Storm 4 It was 10 - 2 until late in the game. The last two were only given to narrown the ridiculous gap the ladies in pink intentionally opened up). Completions Knights 30/40 (75%) - Storm 31/36 (86%) Awesome work from our guys. I would l...

If Cronk was marched for that after O'Neill was taken out twice in far more likely try scoring positions a few weeks ago, I would have been furious. Slater had that kick covered. And if they want to sin bin a player every time a fullback chases through an attacking bomb and is taken out, we have bee...

Big McLean was great today. Easily his best game and rewarded with a try.

Our forwards were completely dominated in the first half. We need to come out stronger than that, particularly against teams like Manly and Easts.

Matty is usually pretty fair, particularly when discussing Melbourne IMO.

Matty Johns disagreed with Sterlo and co on Sterlo Thursday night. He was of the opinion that Melbourne's unusually high error count let Souths off the hook. I thought that was pretty obvious tbh but nearly all of the other channel 9 and Fox lackies couldn't stop verbally felating the Bunnies after ...

Tipping Melbourne 24 - Knights 16 in a close one.

Although another 64 point win would be just lovely, I don't see it. The Knights have started to find some consistency. They lost to the Roosters in Rd 20 but aside from that, they haven't lost since Rd 14 when we beat them... by 2 points... at home.

Yep. I would expect Blair back in, O'Neill to the wing and Mahe to drop out.

Another great story coming out of this situation... http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/nrl/legends-say-bring-back-the-biff-in-the-wake-of-the-squirrel-grip-controversy/story-fniabjcr-1226695788794 My favourite part is the quote from George Piggins, "you are pushed into a situation where you ar...

So according to some news sources, Burgess received such a low grading because he "pinched" Chambers nuts which is (apparently) better than getting a handful... Great explanation ::) http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/gripping-yarn-sam-ban-would-be-a-spoke-in-souths-wheels-2013...

Absolutely. It would have been a single week if he didn't have a dodgy record.

Two weeks is ridiculous. How is this any better than biting and eye gouging?
