I’m already getting modded, so the net is closing in, and I haven’t done anything wrong once again!
Does Dylan Brown deserve a lengthy stint on the sidelines?
It would have been highly controversial and would have turned the game for that 10-minute period, but the Eels deserved to have TWO players in the sin-bin from two acts of foul play from the same play. The officials were too scared to go down that path though in case it backs them into a corner in the finals or GF when the whole spectacle could be ruined by being pressured into being consistent.

Clint Gutherson had the highest Run metres last night (193 mtrs). Gutho also had 56 kick return metres, 53 post-contact metres, 5 tackle breaks, 23 dummy half metres, 1 offload, 100% tackle efficiency, 24 kicking metres and 1 forced drop out. He did have just the ONE error though, so you are right, he had a shocker. Or, perhaps you were watching another game?

Ricky is usually associated with sour grapes not sour milk. The solution… buy more milk? 😛

Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad (neck, round 15-16)
George Williams (hamstring, round 9)
Josh Papalii (rested, round 9)
Josh Hodgson (calf, round 10)
Jarrod Croker (shoulder, round 10)
Sebastian Kris (ankle, round 9)
THAT is a pretty significant injury list that would adversely affect most NRL clubs. Look at the difference that Turbo returning to Manly has caused. The difference Souths having Latrell, Reynolds, Murray, Graham, Mansour and Paulo back would cause. Remember, the Roosters are a rare exception when it comes to a team maintaining their commitment, enthusiasm and execution in the face of adversity.
George Williams requesting a release was news to me though. I must have missed that. That is BIG as he is crucial to the Raiders chances IMO just like CNK.

“It was a two team comp from the start.”
I can’t decide whether you are being unfair to the Storm or the Panthers jimmmy. 😛
The Rabbitohs have strong competition from both teams as per my initial prediction; 1. Panthers, 2. Rabbitohs, 3. Storm. No need to panic now over just one game with 8 players missing. Remember, Souths weren’t in the conversation until their run to the finals and then blew sides off the park. It’s important not to peak too soon. Remember that mate. The Cowboys are timing their run perfectly then. 😂 😂 😂

They were the days indeed BD. Do you remember the streamers on sale at the ground and the old black and white programs, the “pick the first Try scorer” raffle, playing footy on the hill and then in the in-goals after the game. The updates from the public address speakers around the ground from other games being played on the day, when all games were played at the same time. The cheers and the boos as the scores were announced… If you didn’t live through those days to experience how the game used to be you would never understand it. There was a magic when Dragons breathed fire, the Rabbitohs bled and played broken and courageous and the Roosters and Manly were challenging the old guard. The 70’s, that was my period.
If you can remember Sattler’s broken jaw then you would be older than I am. That was in 1970, the year I started following Rugby League and the Bunnies. I ran into Captain Courageous John Sattler in 1980 at a pub on the Gold Coast by the broadwater when I was a teenager holidaying there with a friend. A story for another time perhaps.
I went to ALL the Rabbitohs home games. I grew up in the flats behind the old Redfern Oval scoreboard. My mum btw, was a Balmain Tigers supporter who couldn’t support the new merger monster either.

Unlike the Roosters though, Souths will get all their players back by the Bye round in round 13. If they can keep their key players on the field and the Adam Reynolds drama doesn’t derail their premiership aspirations Souths will still end up in the top 3 IMHO.

Fair enough. You may have read my yarn, but I met Tommy Raudonikis at Dolphin stadium in Redcliffe. I was also at Lidcombe Oval the day Souths upset the top of the ladder Western Suburbs Magpies in 1976 when George Piggins ran through half the Magpies side to score next to the posts (see the video below). I was with a mate who was a Magpies supporter, and he got me to wear a Magpies jersey (I must have been drugged or lost a bet) but when Piggins scored and I jumped up and down cheering and screaming my head off. I was on the hill surrounded by only Magpies supporters, and you could have heard a pin drop as I was pierced by a sea of death stares from irate Magpies supporters calling me a traitor. What a moment! I was a Bunnies Trojan Horse just like Seibold, BD! 😂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UO5X8QpIRWk

Born in Wyong and living in Sydney? How the hell did you end up going for the Broncos then? Are your parents North Koreans QLDers? 😛
I lived in Narara and my son played for Gosford Kariong Storm and Erina Eagles. Did you play for the Wyong Roos then? I actually played on Central Coast stadium in a State knockout semi-final with Nathan Merritt’s dad. Have you been to the Gosford recently? A lot has changed and is still changing especially around the Brisbane Waters waterfront.

Old Woody migrated south for the winter from Zero Tackle along with myself, Insider, eels47, eelsalmighty and Pedro the Saint. Woody wasn’t a chook, he was a goose! 😂

I’m glad someone was paying attention Dwayne. Clearly, I conflated the 3 consecutive premiership wins with the Eels’ last premiership in 1986.
1986 was so long ago Dwayne… In 1986 the Soviet Nuclear reactor at Chernobyl exploded, tragically the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded, Mike Tyson exploded onto the world stage becoming the youngest Heavyweight Champion in history and the Oprah Winfrey Show exploded in the U.S.A. with her first show. Everything was exploding that year except the 1986 GF, that fizzled.
That 1986 GF lacked the “Super Coach’s” finesse. The Eels won the most boring GF in Rugby League history by a soccer score 4-2… all goals!

At the moment Dwayne, and while I’m watching the Panthers bashing the Sharks at nearly a point a minute 12-0 after 13 mins, there is NO team that are better than the Panthers and no team even close to them. But there are 25 rounds plus the finals Dwayne. It’s a LONG season. The Bunnies went on a run at the end of last season, and they can do that again and go one better this year. Then it’s anyone’s ball game.

I’ve tried. They aren’t interested in the NRL. They aren’t young either. They are just mindless automatons punching the clock for a payslip. It’s a cook book! A cook boook! 😱

That’s like people who have spent a year in a Correctional Centre not “identifying” themselves as ex-cons TB. You don’t get to make that call mate. Too late! You’re a South Sydney junior TB. Accept it mate, you ARE a Bunny Brother! Now wear the badge with pride. 😂

You must have false teeth? It’s SouTHs not Sou ffs. It must be hard to articulate when you are just flapping your gums. 😂
Well Kerry I’ll add your name to Storm supporters I will be happy to remind were WRONG when Souths get their revenge when it matters most.

Re #bringdalehome I might start up a new hashtag #BringtheFoxxHome TB. Don’t forget Addo-Carr is a South Sydney junior having played for La Perouse and Moore Park as a junior. He is even more of a Rabbitohs junior than you TB having played for two different South Sydney Junior Rugby League sides. 😂

An interesting observation though Nat, a team so under strength yielding such a result gives a rare insight into what coaches like Bennett, Bellamy, Robinson and Cleary can achieve without the quality rosters they are blessed with. At the end of the day even great coaches are limited by the rosters at their disposal.
It happened back in the day with Jack Gibson at the Rabbitohs just before he went on to coach the Eels to 3 successive premierships and their last premiership victory 35 long years ago!

Again Nat… Do you think? When it comes to playing the Storm Father Time is like that Hall & Oates song; “Out of Touch”. 😂

“Hopefully this means we have a week off from Shadow making everything about Souths”
On a story that is all about the Rabbitohs and trying to douse the embers of hope on the Rabbitohs 2021 season? Fat chance mate! 😂

What was noticeable to me was how much better the Storm look in attack… without Campbell Graham and Josh Mansour defending Souths right edge and Latrell defending at FB and without Cameron Murray defending in the middle third and in cover. It’s like you read my mind Tony. 👍 😂
50-point curse knocks Rabbitohs' premiership hopes for six
Or if Campbell Graham and Josh Mansour were defending the right edge. But you chooks fans know all about battling through adversity. For once the Rabbitohs will have to follow the Roosters’ example instead of visa versa, JA. 😛

Absolutely Duncan! I spotted him on the grassy knoll with a telescopic rifle sniping away as always. 😂 😂 😂

What about “the King of the tap restart”, Alfie Langer? Alfie would have kept tapping and running the full 100 metres! 😂
