Following that line of thinking, I’m glad you won in 2018, because look what happened in 2014. Lol.
Seriously though, using last night’s games to claim the higher ground is pretty silly when the Dogs took the Storm to 2 points at AAMI Park a fortnight ago. They aimed up and it was obvious the NRL and the refs didn’t want a blowout on Good Friday. This time last year, when the ruck was being heavily policed, Souths looked unstoppable and the chooks were average. Look who ended up Premiers. A big factor being the refs policed the wrestle all year, then stopped during the finals. That suited the Storm (who made the final only by golden point at AAMI Park) and the Chooks. Seibold didn’t adjust his game plan and we saw the result. Souths are getting used to a new coach, with a different style, who won’t make that same mistake. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. There’s plenty of improvement in them. Up the Rabbits and fuck the Roosters.
Oh im well aware that it isnt a sprint... we didnt peak till late last season. that being said last night we had 6 regulars out and lost Keary in the last 20mins... winning in Melbourne on top of all that is impressive.. Not sure how Souths will go this year but we can agree that a Souths vs Easts GF would be one of the most hyped GFs ever?
