Im not sure what it looked like on the telly, but at the game I felt we never ever looked like losing or out of control.

And as a super anxious 90s souths fan, I rarely say that.

Great performance

I was waiting for the Broncos to put 3 or 4 quick trys on us after we got an early lead, yes just like the 90s and like a couple of other decades too. They were missing a couple of their spine but all up we did solidly out play them. The Broncos were under pressure from both our attack and defence for nearly the full 80 mins. Great game for us to rewatch.
 
Well what a win it was. Sadly I couldn’t be there I will be for Manly next Saturday though.

Thats our boys hunger, desire, passion, committed, desperation, connected, all heart and effort etc…. the list goes on.

We were on right from the start and doing those effort areas is making a big difference. Huge raps to Hornby and Furnsy for helping get the boys up like this in the background. We need to enjoy it and keep building on it. Run hard tackle hard scramble well etc complete your sets highly show patience in attack etc……

Trell what can you say a man on a mission baby! I really am liking him kicking the ball his kicking game is very good and it’s added a whole new dimension to our game and allows us to pin our opposition more deep in their own half. He’s getting his hands on the ball more with the shit work too and he’s defending better. Just wants to be in on everything that’s the Trell we love.

AJ a better game from him made more tough hit ups out of yardage too. And the try to go to 191 what a moment it brought tears to my eyes AAAAAJJJJJJJJJJJ

Mline did his job 21 hit ups around 170 metres had a silly error or two and fell off a couple of tackles but tried his heart out.

Kennar not as involved as I’d like but did a pretty good job on I think it was Cobbo overall. Did get caught out a couple of times. His high shot to get binned though was idiotic and I was worried it would cost us thank goodness it didn’t.

Gagai well what a trysaver that was I loved it one of my favourite highlights of the match. He did well to get out of the in goal too which was another big play. 15 runs for 122 metres a high workrate and looks more comfortable at this level. Really loving what he’s doing currently well done Gags we are all proud of ya!

Wighton it was a better game from him kicking game was good and he ran the ball strongly and gave us good direction. He is starting to form a good combo with Cody. For now I’d leave Jack at 6.

Cody adjusting to playing on the right he did well in defence and in attack, looked lively with the ball and dangerous he’s finding form now.

Moale well he’s going good another strong game looked strong in his work with strong carries and was strong in defence. Bounced out of a Haas tackle I think it was too which I loved well done Davvy.

Cook: It was a strong game from him he was at his best his try was very good loved it DDDAAMMMIIEEEENNN! His running game was at its best all night and he was strong in defence good game from him. Made 41 tackles too.

Keppie apart from the 1 error after our first try he made 99 metres with a couple of tackle busts and offloads and made 18 tackles. Was good I thought overall. I do think Moale was slightly better though but maybe it’s just me.

Chee Kam was a strong effort from him ran the ball well 16 runs for 130 metres and 21 tackles but missed 7 so that’s a work on for him. He is doing his job and that’s all we can ask.

Arrow well he does it again a strong game. The bloke is in lots of pain but you wouldn’t know it he’s a machine out there. 16 runs 123 metres with 5 tackle busts and an offload and 30 tackles only missing 1. Hope he’s ok looked in lots of discomfort near the end of the game.

Keaon: HE IS BACK BABY! How much better does he look in the middle! 21 runs 201 metres just enormous from him and 29 tackles. He’s giving us great go forward and I think his home is in the middle. Loved his try as well it was brilliant.

Pete: Not much to say only came on with 3mins left

Murray: Welcome back skipper was a good first game back boy have we missed you. 14 runs 110 metres and 27 tackles he played with the purpose we know he does just busy doesn’t stop. A good 50mins from him.

Duncan: He looked good in his 34mins. Ran with real purpose and made 99 metres from 12 runs and 6 tackle busts along with 17 tackles. He’s building his confidence it is great to see.

Tom made 12 runs for 127 metres in 26mins made a strong impact just what we wanted some damaging runs well played Tom.


All in all what an enjoyable win our best of the season so far in the rain to play like that too against a quality Brisbane side and we just wanted it more.

Lets have another round of Glory Glory why not it’s the best we have played in over a year!

 
Seriously we should have scored a few more tries,the Broncs were shot and we had them on their line often,Souths failed to put them away.
Cook doesn’t have the smarts to set up his supports yes I know he is a good player and puts in big time.
I would have like to have seen Pete get a shot at their flawed defence instead of running around going nowhere!

Cook is the worst player to have the ball when attacking the opposition's line 10-15 metres out, he never learns.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but if we had that extra option of a target like Coates, Mulitalo or Tupou to name a few the last plays 20m out would look very different.

So does Ben Hornby have more wins as coach this year than JD?, not great for the reference of JD as a coach.

He already had that after the Titans win last week. 😉

Not if nothing changed afterwards.

But I've seen enough minor improvements in our game plans, defensive structures and effort areas post-JD to solidify that opinion.

I think what this shows is how little JD listened to his assistant coaches. Not so much in defence as he was the issue there, but the things that have changed in our attack.

His stubbornness was his biggest undoing. Same thing happened with Madge and Seibold.
 
It wasn’t long ago that I was just hoping to avoid the wooden spoon. We were wondering where our next win was going to come from. We looked like the worst team in the competition.

Now we have won 3 in a row. Whilst there is still a slim hope of making the top 8, my expectations are that part of our season is done.

I’m starting to see the things I want to see to go into next season. Seeing the likes of Davvy and Tallis grow. Seeing us show the desire and want to win.

The thing that has impressed me the most is our effort areas. Something we had been critical of previously this year. It is the thing that has changed the most.

Our scramble was the best I have seen for a long time. Even though they made the breaks we had multiple players in and around the ball to clean up when there was a loose ball from a great tackle.

Continue to see this and we will climb the ladder.

Funny how not long ago we just wanted this season to end.
 
He’ll be sadly missed next week.
The game will be quite telling as to where we are at
 
The kicking impact has been huge. Both Trell and Wighton taking on responsibility there has turned periods of games with single strikes.

It makes it even clearer how far off the mark Ilias was in that general play kicking regard.

To be fair, not many actual halves in the game have the size of boot Latrell has 😂.
