A gutsy and brave performance from Souths and JD, despite the loss I’d say their best of the year given the circumstances. They showed a positive attitude and well done to the Sharks. Sione Katoa’s shot on Cameron Murray at the end of the first half was the biggest blow. Souths were truly in the game, but how Katoa was not binned, giving Souths no access to their 18th man is beyond me. Also the hit on Jye Gray was a major set back having to sit through HIA. I think at one stage, Souths had Chee Kam and Host in the back line..
'If that changes, time will tell': Demetriou defiant despite defeat as Souths lose three to injury in Sharks loss
Souths are beginning to resemble the 2022-2023 Tigers, characterised by inadequate management, frequent defeats, ineffective coaching changes, and a systemic decay originating from the leadership..

You’re right about being loaded, there was bait there, which JD didn’t take. .

Agree S76. From my observation of the press conference the “press” were attempting to create a story and got what they deserved, a truncated press conference.
He answered the loaded questions professionally, no “Angry” conference as the heading suggests.

GB, regardless of the outcome of the Souths vs. Cronulla match, I would gladly welcome Big Mal. A team with Souths’ calibre should not tolerate a dismal 5 wins out of 18 games; it’s simply unacceptable and warrants dismissal. Of course its not all JDs fault, Souths management have a lot to be accountable for. But JD is the easy out for the club. Particularly considering we had a whole swag of the weaker opponents in the latter half of last year’s schedule and still couldn’t win . In the last 12 months we haven’t played Panthers or Storm, so that was a relief but losing to teams like Manly and the Roosters this year is pretty poor too, they’re hardly top 4 material but we made them look like champions.
Rabbitohs rubbish Meninga rumour as Cook admits he's 'frustrated, angry and sad' over losing his spot
Embrace the setback, learn from it, and come back stronger than ever.
Rabbitohs rubbish Meninga rumour as Cook admits he's 'frustrated, angry and sad' over losing his spot
I tipped all the home teams last week and got 7 out of 8 correct. The one I got wrong was the Rabbitohs whom I tipped to win and lost 😢
NRL tipping cheat sheet: How to solve your weekly struggles when it comes to footy predictions
Cook isn’t the only issue you’re right, but he missed at least two tackles last week early on in the game against the Warriors that got them tries. He was off his game and his dummy half runs have been inexistent. A stint in the reggies will do him good.
NRL Round 6 Team Lists: Cleary suffers setback, Walsh return confirmed but Riki under cloud, Big Phin out
The omission of Cook doesn’t come as a surprise to me, as Siliva Havili has demonstrated superior performance in my opinion this year. I am ok with Cook being dropped. Interested to see how Havili interchanges with Peter Mamouzelos.
Scratching my head on why Tallis Duncan was omitted, as for the rest JD hasn’t got too many cards (or players) to play with.
As for Milne who, despite lacking in natural talent, I felt this year has consistently been one of the very few souths players that gave their utmost . Milne goes looking for the ball, his versatility and ability to confidently catch high balls and execute aggressive kick returns make him a standout in the backline currently.

A new coach, fresh outlook in Souths would be enough to inspire Latrell, I think that’s all he needs.
NRL News: Wighton says 'sorry' Latrell has burning desire after Gus raises retirement call, Annesley refutes hip-drop critics
Good point TB, I witnessed it firsthand at the game—Latrell orchestrates Souths’ first try within five minutes. All looking good despite the crowd’s boos, incessantly all directed at him from the onset (before any ‘incident’), singling him out, no one else. It was a pitiful and shameful display from the crowd as happened against the Dogs last week, and the Chooks the week before that. Regardless of personal feelings towards him, it’s just not a good situation. Hope he gets through it, League would be better for it.

Spot on Amesy, look at the Tigers – went through a lot of (good) coaches before they sniffed out where the rot was coming from
Demetriou facing sack after Souths' disastrous start with Bennett, Bellamy, Burgess possible replacement options
JD seems like toast at this point! His resilience isn’t in question, but something’s definitely gone stale since last season. Whatever happened last season wasn’t fixed over the of season, and that’s probably where the criticism comes from. Maybe that Vegas trip turned into a distraction with all hype, the glitz and glamour, causing them to lose sight of their real challenges. And talk about a walking wounded list—AJ, Graham, Arrow, Munro & now Illias are practically running their own hospital ward! Sure, injuries can explain a few bumps in the road, but those losses against the Roosters and Warriors? inexcusable, I was at the warriors game and they weren’t interested in playing (apart from Cam Murray).
As for new coach, I’d expect to the interim Hornby, long term I’d like to see Madge back in the seat, he’s proven, and got the right toughness for what’s need at the moment, better than Sam or Bennett. Bellamy is a good choice too.

Verbal abuse – most was coming from the supporters! I was there at the stadium.

I’d bring back Michael Maguire, Madge has got the requisite toughness and credibility to get the Rabbitohs back on track.

I’d bring back Madge immediately!
'I don't know what goes through Latrell's mind': Mitchell on report twice as Wahs dominate sorry Souths
I was at the game, frustrating to watch and Souths appeared disinterested. In the second half, they struggled to advance beyond their own half, and on the few occasions they did, they made numerous very careless errors.

Dominic Young deserving of a send-off. He’ll be keeping Leniu company. Hopefully Taafe is ok as that was an ugly hit. Radley doesn’t disappoint eitehr with his stock standard mandatory 10-minute binning. JWH gets off in lieu of the above two indiscretions.

After a topsy turvy 4 rounds there will be some settling and all the home teams this round will take the 2 points.
Storm, Dogs, Rabbitohs, Knights, Eagles, Cowboys, Raiders, Dolphins.

Might as well etch the Panthers in stone at the top of the leaderboard for the rest of eternity. Let the other teams break a sweat fighting for the remaining spots like it’s a Black Friday sale at a shoe store.

Well said and good interview, there was never any doubt about Wighton, his abilities or his attitude, this week’s match showed what a good footy player he is. On that left edge combining with Cody Walker and AJ on either side he will score loads of tries.
'I see what it means to be at a big club now': How Wighton's baptism of fire at Souths can fire him forward
My takeaways:
1) It was a good hard fought game to watch with both teams evenly matched;
2) Wighton played well, showing why he will be powerful weapon for Souths;
3) Crichton – looking like a good leader for the Dogs; and
4) Latrell being booed is disgraceful. Shame on those supporters.

Annesley admits Roosters were robbed as obstruction rules come under blowtorch despite Panthers' statement win
Hardley world beating was England’s bazball, and as much as this article tries hard to make comparisons, I am assuming this is a humorous or satirical piece rather than providing any serious analysis. The assertion that “desperate times call for desperate measures” may be a fitting cliché, but it’s a gross oversimplification of the situation facing the Rabbitohs. Resorting to panic and adopting drastic measures like the ‘Bazball’ strategy is not the solution. It disregards the need for patience, analysis, and trust in the team’s abilities to bounce back. The Rabbitohs, like any other sports team facing adversity, need to focus on identifying and rectifying their weaknesses through structured coaching, player development, and tactical adjustments, instead of succumbing to knee-jerk reactions Baz BS.
Why desperate Rabbitohs need to adopt NRL's version of Bazball - it's a guaranteed win-win situation
Agree BigGordan, to me whatever problems they had in the second half of last season weren’t fixed in the off season, and that’s the issue here. I think all the Vegas hype and build up got them all focussed on that rather than fixing the underlying problems.
