LOL @ Souffs

[Tommy Smith]

And we - their biggest rivals that year - received the fewest penalties in the competition.

EIGHTY FOUR less than Souffs. Orwellian indeed in it's horror.

2014 was a fix. Not a concerted effort, but rather a subtle *wink wink* all the way from the top of the NRL down to Tony Archer and the refs.

And I bet the players in retrospect know this too.

The fact that Souffs penalties have dried up so dramatically since 2014 is further evidence.

[eddie]

South's are more fuucked than Marty "snakes in my trousers" Kennedy, Gus will be blowing up big time, reminds me of them putting Reynolds back out there against us one time after he was heavily concussed.
Richardson can **** off
Madge can **** off
Burgii can **** off
Their welfare premiership can **** right off
Kick em outta the comp

Crowe can **** off

The goanna can **** off

The book of lies can **** off

Rugby league is doing well when souffs are a laughing stock.

It's undeniable. In hindsight and while it was happening. A client of mine at the time kept going on about the cowboys getting robbed (against us with Lui's hand of god) and I said "no mate, everybody got robbed, there has to be an investigation" lol

[John Corey]

And yet so many on here are happy that we didn't sign him?

Tedesco is a great player and I would love to have him. Except if signing him cost so much that we would have to end up letting too many go. Like Manu, Watson, Butcher, and more.

[Johnny Tobin]

Souffs demise can be traced back to the moment they decided to shed a bunch of good first graders to re-sign Sam Burgess. They also invested a lot into the twins and neither of them have really kicked on yet

Fair call. There was already an us and them before that happened.

[Tommy Smith]

Wtf has happened to George? He's fallen off a cliff!

And Tom has always been ordinary and ridden the others coat tails.

Just hope there not hitting form by round 4.

[The Axe]

Their most dominant forward was Macqueen. They've never replaced him. Tough as nails every week. All the press went to the Burgeii. Special mention to Ben T'eo

[Headless Chook]

Teo was as big a loss as Burgess. In that prelim final in 2014 when we led 12 nil he came on and whacked our blokes and helped (with the refs) turn the game around. Until that time we had been dominant

[rented tracksuit]

It was always the refs help Headless. I put their whole 2014 season and their only premiership in approx 45 years down the refs and the NRL.

The 2014 was a tainted rort and every rugby league fan should feel ripped off by it. Sadly 2016 wasn't much different.

Gee it really shouldn't matter mate, no Inglis or Reynolds, wouldn't give us much hope this year if we can't beat them.

At this stage I would agree but the Chooks have got 2 really hard games over the next 2 rounds & its a 4 day turn around after rd 3 & the Souths game.
I bet you Reynolds plays against us in rd 4.

It's a 5 day turnaround and we don't travel outside sydney for our next 4 matches, barring any injury to easts players, the wabbits look shot.
