St. George Illawarra the team to beat

[AmericanHistoryX]

It looks as though as St. George Illawarra will challenge for the minor premiership again. They have taken off from where they left off last season. Our best bet will be to keep up with them on the premiership table. They will be the benchmark again.

Their oppositions haven't offered much in the first two weeks.

They are playing a very controlled game. Don't know that they have another gear though and Soward is not as assertive a playmaker as last season at this stage

bingo

it will be the same story from last year for the dragons in 2010

dogs are rubbish this year, will be lucky to make the 8

just watch them accumulate 2 points each week. soward doesnt need another gear yet for the normal season, if you are talking semi finals then maybe you're right - im just talking about week in week out. They're doing it again.

They are a very good football side. Don't give the opposition anything, and they have the guys in their team that can score tries from nothing: Soward, Morris. They'll be right up there again this year, hopefully they do a little better in the finals though.

The Dragons will make the finals without doubt, but they don't have a great deal of depth in the halves. Their kicking game will suffer bigtime if Soward is injured, and I'm not that fussed on their attack. They are a very well coached side, but I wouldn't be putting my money on them just yet.

They have decent halves depth I think. Outside Soward/Hornby they have Fein who has played halfback at rep level, and in finals series, as well as young Beau Henry who was Toyota Cup player of the year last season. That said, if Soward goes down they would have no chance of winning the comp.

A team like the Tigers without a predicable backrow like Parra last week and the Dogs will give them something to think abaout.

Mate Fien broke his leg against the Eels. He's gone for months.

Yeah, I was going by their full squad, they had 4 guys there who can play in the halves, without Fien they are down to 3, if another 2 go down they're in strife.

A bit early imo for this sort of talk…but yeh so far they are going well

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

trust me - st.george llawarra always start early. just watch them now stay on top of the table. its a carbon copy of last season. i'm not saying they will win the comp - im just talking minor premiers. semi final football is different.

Same as every year I reckon..

Under Brown they would be 1-5 or something along those lines to start the season, and when people would start calling for Brown's head they'd win 5-6 straight.
