I don’t know, must be that the Souths structure is just not good enough to bring the best out of these players that they buy like it is at the Panthers and the Storm as the Bunnies need an authoritative coach that cam bring everything out of these players, as imo allot of these forwards are just making up the number’s week in and week out except for Muray and Burgess.

NRL Round 4 Talking Points: A month is done - let’s make some hard calls

Nah, Wayne Bennet had nothing to do with Souths collapse since he left, as they had been collapsing since their 2014 GF win and have not had good management for decades, which is what nearly destroyed the whole South Sydney RL club forever in the late 90s. A perfect example is with their roster and recruitments where today’s problems stem from, they had some unbelievable stars in their juniors and they let them all go, but the worst blunder and brainless move, was to let Adam Reynolds go which is a perfect example of how bad these people are and how far off they are from reality!

Unfortunately, Souths have had blinker on for a long time and a “One Way” attitude of thinking, which is affecting the quality of players from wanting to play for Souths, as its clearly being shown in the 2024 roster where our forwards are way below par and blokes like Chee Kam, Host, Havili, Tatola and ShaquaiM are not pulling their weight week in week out to make an impact. Unfortunately, you can’t put brains into statues at Souths.

Rapana is too old and too hesitant at FB and lets too many balls bounce and doesn’t commit, which is everything that a FB should not do! Rapana needs to be back on the wing, and Savage should be at FB, as he is a good kid, yes, he makes mistakes, but he needs to learn. The Raiders performance last night was dreadful and their collapse from 18-0 was absolutely unbelievable to a Shark side that wasn’t much better. Sticky has to do something with the Raider as that performance last night is not looking good for the future and its looking like the beginning of the end and could cost Sticky his job, is Stick ever sackable? 😂

NRL Round 4 Talking Points: A month is done - let’s make some hard calls

Yes, and unfortunately Souths didn’t look anything like the side that they looked last year, unfortunately and I must admit that this side is not up there with the likes of the Pnathers, Storm, Roosters and Broncos but and stanching that rubber band way beyond what it should be 😂 the Bunnies could/might beat sides like the Cowboys, Manly, Eels, Raiders and the Sharks when Graham and Arrow are back and Souths have their full side, which won’t be until R8 for Arrow and R12 for Graham.

After R4 imo the Panthers are way ahead at #1 (with a full side) and two notches behind are the Storm (with a full side) at #2 and the Broncos, Roosters are the same 3rd and 4th and the rest is a lottery. But all I can say is that my beloved Bunnies are way off and are not looking good and lets hope that they haven’t caught any bouts of Myxomatosis like they did in the late 90’s 😂 Go You Bunnies 👍

Its NOT Seibs that is at fault with Manly, as Manly have been doing this and playing like last night for at least the last 3 years and way before Seibs was the coach. The type of RL that Manly played you won’t see even in U10s Saturday junior league footy. What Manly showed in this game is probably the worst fundamental handling errors I’ve ever seen in a game by any RL club and especially an NRL club in any weather conditions never mind in perfect weather conditions like last night. Can’t blame the coach when experienced players throw a 1m forward pass or a #9 can’t throw a dummy half pass and throws it onto the ground etc etc which are all basics of footy.

Flanno's Dragons tough it out as Manly shoot themselves in the foot, then aim again in error-strewn madness

The answers are getting better 😂 but NO solutions

'Every time we do black and white, it doesn't work': Does anyone actually understand the obstruction rule?

Has anyone experiencing blurring of videos from the NRL,com site like Match Highlights and Press Conferences or any videos, as in my MS Edge browser (and I’ve tried Chrome) they are all like that, this has come up in the last 2 months or so. Any solution will be helpful.

'Every time we do black and white, it doesn't work': Does anyone actually understand the obstruction rule?

YES YES YES and a very appropriate comment “Every team would love to have a player like Adam Reynolds calling the shots. South Sydney could definitely do with his services” as you would have to ask the geniuses at Souths why they let Adam Reynolds go when they are struggling with two very ordinary halfbacks that both don’t make up Adam Reynolds! That was a great expedition of kicking by Ryno as he’s been doing that for years and Drinkwater was a shocker so was Feldt, I just can’t understand how experienced footballers allow a ball to bounce when they are being stampeded by the opposition and don’t even make an attempt to catch a bomb. The Cowboys looked outclassed and beaten right from the get go and all night.

Oh, what a nightmare: Reynolds' brillance bamboozles back three as Broncos give Cowboys a kicking

Climate temps and conditions are cyclical and El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) affected Australia for 7 years and we came out of that oscillation stage just recently and that is why temps were so high and we had droughts throughout that period, we are out of that El Nino stage now and temps are back to normal and we are getting more rainfall, in my 75 years we’ve always had cyclical weather and very hot summers and droughts with bush fires droughts Australia etc etc the hot summers are not unusual and/or a drastic in Australia and/or because of climate change that I’ve notice in my lifetime.

Fair comment not coming from unfair commentators whining about rules they should know off by heart

WhoDis, good on Gould for not arguing about such an irrelevant subject with you, as all you climate change so called b’washed scholars are a waste of time. An old timer like Gould doesn’t believe in all that nonsense of climate change, as the climate hasn’t changed since I have been alive (75 years) but the tremendous cost that climate change has burdened us with has, unfortunately climate change will change people lives and its going to be catastrophic as now its affecting our food production and costs, We are all climate conscious and have always been, no one wants to destroy this planet!

Fair comment not coming from unfair commentators whining about rules they should know off by heart

I know that its typical of people like you to make comments like you do and be abusive when you don’t have a counter argument, as you have no idea what you are talking about as you only watch/listen to what msm news peddles, which makes you biased and facts don’t matter, wake up as you are being taken for a ride and are made into a boot licker yourself, as whatever you say is always what is really is happening to you, it’s a political fact that is what is happening especially in American politics and very much in Australian politics and what is happening today both in America and Australia, have a look around you.

😂 typical comment calling anything that you don’t agree with as a “cult” as you have no idea. Read up on the alternative facts to what msm peddle as you will find that msm is a cult not the other way around!

Why desperate Rabbitohs need to adopt NRL's version of Bazball - it's a guaranteed win-win situation

😂 😂 😂 your answer 100% proves exactly what I’m talking about, read about the real news from real unbiased sites and don’t get your news from msm, that is my best advice for you now and for the future!

Why desperate Rabbitohs need to adopt NRL's version of Bazball - it's a guaranteed win-win situation

The restricted algorithms set onto this site are absolutely disgusting and way more restrictive than allot of the fake news forums out there, when you try to make comments on an article and to the subject that are untruths peddled by the Roar. Wake up and change your standards of your algorithms as they are absolutely becoming dictatorial and very unfair and ridiculous for a sporting site and especially an NRL site to have. This is absolutely unfair as if the people don’t have freedom of speech than what else are you going to restrict or take away?

Why desperate Rabbitohs need to adopt NRL's version of Bazball - it's a guaranteed win-win situation

I beg to differ with your analysation or comparison with Donald Trump, as he would have accepted defeat of the 2020 elections if the elections were 100% fair, so this comparison with Souths is way off when you say the usual untruths that msm keep writing their untruths articles and making statements like these that “It’s a move torn straight from Donald’s Trump’s playbook, where not accepting the result throws all sensible people completely off kilter” which its NOT, as what Donald Trump did was that he was forced to challenge the result of the 2020 elections as they were false and fraudulent, have a look at a documentary about the 2020 election fraud and corruption called “2000 Mules” as its NOT what the situation is with Souths as they haven’t had any games stolen from them, referees taking games from them or bunker calls taking games away from them, Souths have been losing games because they don’t have an 80 min go and allot of their stars are out of form.

Spot on Cam and very well analyzed, as I’ve been harping on about when this was beginning to be apparent 2 years ago, as Souths peaked, and their last big effort was R8 against the Panthers and R9 against the Broncos in 2023 and then this side has fallen away miserably until today. Souths needs an injection of forwards as fast as possible as Tatola, ShaquaiM, Kappie are just not up to the standard to compete in NRL 2024 and especially against the top sides, as the only goers are Cam Murray and Keaon Koloamatangi who can’t do it all on their own. Lets see what happens as imo Souths main problem is that 80min effort especially Mitchell as they look at each other and if their main playmakers don’t have a go, they just fall away systematically and things go from bad to worse..

BREAKING: Scans confirm disaster for Tino, Titans as knee injury further sours Belmore horror show

Hang on to your bones and kennels all you Dog fans, all this dream comeback 2 points and 32-0 scoreline will come to an abrupt end Good Friday 29th March at 4:05 pm when the 😡 ANGRY ANGRY BUNNIES get to the Dogs 😂 that was a pretty soft win against a p-weak Titans side, you have Taaffe who is pretty venerable with the bombs and will be bombed all game, then Kikau is weak as and goes down for anything and was allowed way too much space, as the Dogs were given that game as the Titanms just didn’t have a go and were weak as 😂

BREAKING: Scans confirm disaster for Tino, Titans as knee injury further sours Belmore horror show

Good article Tony and you are spot on about Trell. The Bunnies are not doing themselves any favours allowing Trell the latitude that he is allowed as its becoming more and more apparent that what Sam Burgess was blowing up and left the Bunnies for, is 100% correct and is affecting the Bunnies performance drastically this year. There has to be some drastic changes made with the Bunnies as they just don’t look competitive as and in comparison to the top sides that they have played, as after R3 they have had 112 points score against them and they only scored 48 which is a -64 difference, which is pretty bad effort.t see what happens but if they don’t change the Bunnies will be in the bottom 4 of the ladder.

Latrell's not walking the walk after talking the talk: Souths should be worried after star goes missing against Roosters

Yes, you are 100% spot on WB, but would Bennett want to come back to coach Souths and coach this rabble especially replacing what he put into place at the Bunnies when he left a coach called JD? This has been a systematic stuff up by the coaching staff since Bennett was there and especially from the administration and making huge mistakes with and letting Adam Reynolds go, who was a great organizer and was exactly what the Bunnies needed when they let him go. Its no coincidence that Sam Burgess gave them the flick and must have had some huge frustrations with the admin at the Bunnies and must have had enough, as he saw what was coming.

The Bunnies will not be a top 8 or a threat to this comp in the next 3 years with the players that they have, Mitchell needs an 100% improvement as he is NOT a FB and needs to be a centre, Walker looks worn out and you can see that he’s not fit and he can’t do it on his own, just like Murray, Cook is not as quick as he was but imo is still affective if he had a decent pack of forwards.

The difference between the Bunnies and the over the salary cap Roosters (which is their usual go 😂) was humongous last night and will not be breached with the current squad that the Bunnies have, you can get Mitchell, Walker or Cook to play 1000% better, as it won’t make any difference, as the system has to be changed, as they have NO CHANCE of beating the Roosters, Broncos or the Panthers as the difference between the Bunnies and all these top 4 sides is huge.

Demetriou has 'no doubt' he can turn around Souths after disaster derby sees Latrell binned in Roosters riot

The problem with the Bunnies circa 2024 was very well exposed last night in the differences between these two teams, as only like 4-3 years ago the Bunnies were beating the Roosters with scores like 60-8 in 2020, 54-12 2021 and consistently beating them in these epic clashes but the Roosters evolved while the Bunnies stood still, that is the difference between these two sides. The Bunnies just stood still and relied on Mitchell, Waker and Cook and also not having Arrow and Graham due to injury has completely collapsed this squad also. The fall of this side from R12 2023 is astonishing when this same side beat all the top sides in the comp and out of 18 rounds since then, this side had two byes and won 4 games out of 16 rounds at the end of round 3 2024. That is an abysmal record and heads must roll!

This has been a complete failure of the coaching staff and administration to not buy and recruit new players. This 48-6 drumming of the Bunnies will not be the last as it was so clearly shown last night, the Bunnies are not a top 8 NRL side but a bottom 4 NRL side as they will be lucky to be in 14th position on the ladder come the end of the 2024 season. Very sad to see this Bunnies side collapse just like they have done in the past due to bad management that nearly destroyed the South Sydney RL club in 2000. Wake up

Demetriou has 'no doubt' he can turn around Souths after disaster derby sees Latrell binned in Roosters riot

Yes, you are 100% correct as only glamour pretty boy Reece Walsh got the special treatment and pity from the officials, that is what I’m blowing up about as Reece Walsh better realize that if he wants to play the game full on at the speeds that he plays, he will get hurt as there are consequences if things go wrong, can’t have it both ways, otherwise allow an NFL helmet for Reecie pretty boy Walsh to wear 😂

'Duty to bend' debate over Walsh hit overshadows 'absolute genius' Cleary torturing Broncos in statement Panthers win

I know what you are saying but the collision happened that quick that both players were stunned and stopped, that is why the head clash happened “IT WAS AN ACCCIDENT” which allot of you perfectionists don’t seem to realize as it was not intentional, If Reece Walsh doesn’t change his technique, he will have more beauty scars and most certainly will not be looking at competing in any beauty contests as he’s going to have some hard times ahead 😂

'Duty to bend' debate over Walsh hit overshadows 'absolute genius' Cleary torturing Broncos in statement Panthers win

Says you who watches NRL in the comfort of your lounge room having a few beer 😂 how can you say that “May could have very easily made that tackle without smacking Walsh in the head” all this happened in a blink of an eye, it was that quick that I only saw Reece go down and probably that is what May saw, he targeted Reece and had to stop him. Allot of time a defender has a spit second to make a decision he hasn’t got a video replay and a beer in hand like you to contemplate his options. The NRL is becoming a lighting fast contact sport and blokes like Reece Walsh are making it that way and they have to be stopped by defenders, and their reaction times also need to be faster to make a tackle on a player like Reece Walsh and these accidents will happen. Suck it up as all that has happened is that pretty boy Reece Walsh’s face will have a slight scar on it 😂 and he will learn from all this in the future, as I’m sure that he is not the first or the last that has or will cop this sort of an injury in the NRL.

'Duty to bend' debate over Walsh hit overshadows 'absolute genius' Cleary torturing Broncos in statement Panthers win

The Broncos were attacking the Panthers line and Walsh was a major part of that attack, so what do you want May to do as he was defending and needed to stop Walsh, did you want May to just say, oh I can’t touch him he is too quick and its Reece Walsh and he’s unstoppable? May was trying to stop Walsh ball and all to stop the attacking move and Walsh got rid of the ball and they collided, well sh^^^t happens and it was an accident as it wasn’t intentional, Reece Walsh has to realize that if he wants to be the main attacking force of the Broncos play, and be on a knife edge then he’s a marked man and NO ONE is going to get out of his way and these accidents will happen, as the more he does this the more Walsh will be targeted.
