LIVE GAME Round 3 Discussion ••SPOILERS••

[supercoach]

Big call but I think the Chooks will win the comp barring any key injuries. They are physically probably the strongest 17 and have the class players to combat Riff. Always thought Souths were going to slide but not this fast.
Of course it’s a long way to go, but you can scratch a couple of teams already from getting to the top eight.

 

[Tucker]

James Graham made a comment about how he liked Dom Youngs team first attitude where he passed to Walker (who scored)

When he could've likely backed himself, stepped Latrell... and scored.

Said Young knows it's a team sport and some players want to be the top try scorer, etc...

Young made the safe play and passed inside to Walker, who was open.

.... Latrell still doesn't understand this.

I reckon 90% of backs hog it these days

 

[GNR4LIFE]

id guess the public withdrawal of the offer was to save face after privately being knocked back.

Maybe. But we had just landed Luai, so we wouldn’t have looked that bad.

 

[hank37w]

How did Marty Taupau avoid a charge for that raised knee??

Not his first time either.

 

[Demps]

Graham is a tosser too!

He defended Latrell's MMM interview as passion for the result...

CTE

Yeah, doesn't really reflect his thoughts on Dom Young eh.

Yeah got my 100th try, woo
But my performance was trash
And my team lost

No defending that ridiculous attitude.

Souths have an amazing roster.
They will want to get their arse in gear but they should still be thereabouts.
They cop the Dogs next week, should be a W.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

This Roosters side is pretty stacked.
If their halves can stay in the field, they’ll go deep.

It’s scary the depth the Roosters have this year and who they added in the offseason.

JWH last year and you can bet in the finals they will play extra hard for him.

Right now Roosters & Panthers are clear front runners.

 

[hsvjones]

For all us Tigers fans out there you don't have to worry about Souths getting flogged and winless on the bottom of the ladder as DT and Fox Sports will still have the daily Tigers bashing articles out tomorrow for us to read..
Might only be 2 articles and not the usual 4 for the day but exciting times ahead 😉

They should beat the Dogs based on roster but on current form Dogs will win. Dogs are playing with effort and showing signs of a team. Souths are totally lost.

 

[Moh]

Man I am glad we missed out on Latrell.

What a horror show that would have been - if he doesn't respect the Souths jersey enough to put in, there was no way he was doing anything for ours.

Their roster is not as good as it is portrayed.

Latrell and Cody are actually major negatives both to their cap balance and on-field results.

Murray is overrated and lacks strength of character as a leader.

Cook always relied on speed and now that is waning - the shortcomings in his ball delivery is more evident!

The best young kids are thrown to the wolves due to the TrellMitt clique and not mentored and developed.

Campbell Graham is a huge loss to their 3/4s - but they are already thin when blokes like Milne are your first choice winger!

I see a poorly balanced & broken squad with a lowest-common denominator coach and an insipid management team who also bow to the Trell cult.

I would expect them to win next week - but I would also not be surprised if they go winless all season!

There has been nil to like about anything they produced in the past 9 months+!

Just look at their run last year when Trell returned - we were their only win!

 

[hank37w]

I doubt there is a person alive who hates Souths more than me (ingrained into me from when I was a little kid - never forget 1909).
Tonight was a delight to watch.
Although Latrell is playing so poorly nobody is mentioning Walker who has been putrid.

A man after my own heart.
Have a copy of my avatar.

But I was screaming for him to step Mitchell and make him look stupid.

How many times do you really need to see Latrell look stupid though?

I see what you're saying but they have a heap of talent everywhere.

I know body shapes vary but to me they all just look surprisingly chubby at souths. How is it that professional rugby league players can all look so fat? Compared to roosters tonight, they just look slow, heavy and lethargic. Could it be possible they just don't train hard?

I know we're no superstars of fitness on our team, but we seem more weak thin rather than apparently just eating too much.

I like what I saw from the Storm last week.

Every year people say they are done, but they are always thereabouts.

Mate - Souths finished where they deserved last year.

They play WORSE with Latrell than without him and have huge quality gaps in their backline

They won't make the 8 this year!

Not satisfactory for a club boasting those "big name" big $$$ alleged stars!

 

[Kaito]

Souths avoid the 50 point curse.
They can still win the premiership.

Would have ranked up 60 had walker stayed on lol

Just finished watching a replay and was jus thinking, all the roosters look like they’ve been taking “supplements”. Radley stands out, just seems to have thickened up. Might just be the camera lens though haha.

Storm will make the 8 just don’t think they have another level.

Paps, Munster, Hughes and Grant are brilliant but their bench & squad depth mixed with backs are off the pace to Roosters & Panthers in my view.
