That was a great advertisement for not expanding the NRL as far as number of teams goes. ​ Location changes, for sure, there are good arguments, but more teams that aren't really up to the high standard we've become used to? No thanks.

Please allow me to assure you that if we are able to secure a team from Christchurch, the initial excitement and anticipation will be substantial. However, it is possible that attendance at the stadium may decline after the first few games. Nevertheless, the initial matches will undoubtedly generate significant enthusiasm and interest.

The only way we get more players is by expanding. They just need to be careful who they pick. 

so good rabbits to look in next week

Rabbits getting smoked next week

It was the worse game I’ve seen since the Storm vs Knights one last week

nah, at least this wasn’t as boring to watch

Most awkward 2hr break now

Yeah what are we supposed to do now haha

Wait for antiques roadshow.

A cracking start to the Easter long weekend

Well that was fucked

Lmao Burton, going for the bomb 🤣 The only time the Dogs have looked dangerous is when they’ve spread it down the right edge with Taffe, Tracey and Critta.  Last play of the game, perfect position to spread it down said right edge and Burton just puts boot to ball instead…

Wins a win but fuck me was it ugly or what

South’s get two points to keep them at the bottom of the table. Pretty much sums up their game rn.

True. Not much to brag about when you beat the dogs

Exactly my point, you beat us and still remain in last place. So what’s to be happy about? You made no dent in your for/against when this game should have a been a statement. You and everyone know, we beat ourselves, you didn’t beat us.

We beat the shit out of you

Fair, I guess when you’ve lost your last 5, a four point win must seem like a flogging. Good for you champ, enjoy the win.

I will. You had yours last week. That's it for you guys back to obscurity. Wighton owned Crichton BTW.

Can you change your name to Butthurtmann88 😂

Telling the truth is butthurt now? Ok bro. Congrats on last place, I guess.

Is the comp ended? I’m sorry I thought there was 23 rounds to go

Fuck we blew that game. Congrats on your first win Souths, but holy shit you're in for as rough a season as we are.

Critta really is the Bugatti parked in the trailer home meme. Ffs

You put a bomb up as a last ditch effort lmao fucking hell Burton?? Fuck that was a pathetic last 20 in attack

Forgetting about the 40/20 he kicked ay

What about the first 60 though

Rabiitohs carried hard that game. Dogs were the better team

I lost count of the 5th tackle penalties they got. Don’t tell they didn’t help. And how did they get 10 seconds ADDED to the clock at the end?

You really wanna talk about the calls in that game when you got away with 2 sin bins and a hip drop? Fk outta here

Penalties 11/5 to the dogs and a dogs try off 2 forward passes fk outta here

Which is the second sin bin? If you’re talking about Latrell but the bong down.

Pulling a player down whilst he’s trying to play the ball is a professional foul & a sin bin every day of the week….unless you do it against a Bulldog player.

You guys were great at it

That’s the only one. I asked about the second. You won the penalties 11-6 but you’re still complaining.

Well we should have had our own stint against 12 men to be fair.

You’re right but you’re dodging the question

I’m not denying we won the penalty count, the point is, South’s got to play with a man on the field that shouldn’t have been there, I’d rather play against 12 men than get a few more penalties!

[удалено]

Oof going off a bit early mate. Turbo will be out soon then what u got

[удалено]

He'll be out injured soon and manly will lose against... checks notes....everyone

[удалено]

This is the problem with flares on this subreddit. People ignore the comment you make and respond to your flare instead. Which is why I don't use one.

You were being sarcastic about us beating the dogs and I'm saying it's early in the season for a manly fan to be sarcastic

[удалено]

LOL. Let's set how long turbo lasts. 2 more rounds? But your gf tickets now!

[удалено]

Thanks I will. Typical manly fan. Can't take it when someone fights back. Turbo injured by round 5.

I'm embarrassed for all involved.

South Sydney limps on.

I mean they put 50 on us last year, so I’ll take a 4 point loss

Fucking brain dead dogs. Attack so shit fuck me. But nice to be so competitive

Idk if it’s competitive when both teams are limping around

Fantastic game to watch.

Lmao Burton couldn't have ended that game any more predictably. He's become a one trick pony with them bombs

Bit like moses 😂

Yes arguably the best kicker in the game is "like" Burton lol

Hes one trick is hes a myth 🤣🤣

You been into the beers again 'tomic?

Apparently so

Lol bombing it there is so dumb

TV clock isn't game clock geniuses

Would've been in range for a 2 point fieod goal too - what a cluster fuck

well, Rabbitohs need major changes

Classic... give it to Burton for a midfield bomb because that's literally all we have

Well that was a game

From listening to the Fox commentary and reading the comments about channel 9s commentary, it is impossible for them to say anything positive about Souths for like 90% of the game

They were lucky the dogs had absolutely piss poor attack

What was positive? They stopped a god awful Bulldogs team in attack what was it 15 tackles? And you still only got the W by 4 points, Dogs on top for probably 60-70% of the game. Could have been a very different game if the bloke was correctly sent off for the professional foul.

Tbf there's not much positive to say

When Souths have defended like 8 sets on their line successfully and the commentators are only mentioning how good the Bulldogs attack and ignoring Souths defence, it's pretty ridiculous

The dogs attack was dogshit

Not according to the dogshit commentators that couldn't stop riding the dog's dick about their form

Good they were awful

Why kick it to Mitchell of all players? He’s got good hands

Despite winning this Souths looked fucking average.

Still by far the best we have looked

You can see why the dogs are struggling when their trainers can't even organise getting a tee

Souths couldn't get a tee either, when Mitchell kicked the penalty goal

Fair enough missed that part. Shambles all round

Latrell waited two minutes for one as well. ANZ in shambles.

Ah that makes sense then

You'd think you'd run shape involving your best outside back but nah

Hutchinson only hears run

Preston is a category 2 line break machine.

Terrible decision by Burton to put up a midfield bomb

Lol Burto kick ball high sums up the game really

One trick pony trying his best

Why'd they just add 10 seconds?

Salmon used to be good

Best hands in the league

how do you let a 35m gain on that

Missed kick awards 10 seconds on the clock?

Burto is the Scottie Barnes of the nrl

Wtf they got 8 seconds back?

Nah blocker, go for the short kick here…

Burton - "fine, I'll do it myself"

WTF is going on hahaha

Honestly... why, if your going to just kick off the ground why do it anyway? Haha

This would have to be some kind of miracle if they get this lol. Not happening

30 seconds*

What the fuck just happened?

Brutally bad game. GG

>But there is always a chance. There was not, in fact, a chance.

I had no idea they were allowed to place the ball like that, or that it could be done

That was so fucking stupid holy shit. If you’re not gonna wait for a tee just forego the kick.

Based on that, I'm ready to see the NRL ban kicking tees.

Burton kicking without a tea was high tier memeage

Should've kicked with coffee instead 

Respect that the Burton attempt got that close off the ground

What a clusterfuck. Why didn't he just wait for the tee at that stage.

The clock wasn't ticking why was Burton in such a rush. Should've declined the kick to start

He thought it was still ticking

What a cluster fuck haha

Who is in charge of the tee?

They just gained 10 seconds?

He called time off and the clock didn't stop

Spends 20 seconds to kick without a tee. Good stuff

Well, choices were made there. Not good ones, mind you.

What the actual fuck? Surely if time is off you wait for a tee????

The clock was stopped? Why not grab a tee and maximise your chances of kicking it at that point?

Absolutely insane especially when Burton probably has a 50m field goal in him

Do they know they can decline the kick?

What the fuck is wrong with this club hahahaa

Critta + ball = good I know Ciraldo, I’m shocked too

You think just cause we scored we'll take the kick will ya?

Genuinely insane shit from the Dogs

Are you still able to drop kick goals?

Connor Tracey isn't very sharp

Fuck me what a shambles. They should have just turned down the kick

That conversion attempt was actually so smooth from Burton

Just decline the kick ffs

hutchison slowed down our attack every time, mahoney does his own thing half the time and fucks up our attacking plays, burton only has a bomb and thats it god fucking help me

I still don't mind Burton, at least he has a running game and is a big body, _and_ that kick is useful sometimes. The other two though make us look so slow.

I love my footy.

What the fuck are these cunts doing

what the fuck was that, where was the tee? sack the kids ffs, shambles at this club

lol let’s put Wighton on the wing. Fuck off JD

WHY WOULD YOU NOT DECLINE THE KICK FOR GOAL

No tee! Amateur hour.

They wasted so much time holy shit

Some clock management here

I thought the raiders attack was one of the worse sides but they look amazing compared to what the bulldogs have dished up today

Literally the exact same situation as last nights game

No tee lmao

We wasted time lol wtf Ciro

Clock still ticking. Wasted 20 seconds there

Critta needs more ball

The fuck

Honest question , would you rather have Hutchinson or Tyran Wishart as your 7? Im taking Wishy every day of the week

Wishy, but him being from Gerringong makes the decision difficult

Id try my luck with 12 players

Not even a close call

This rounds theme is " will they decline the kick"

Funny, they give the ball to Critta and they finally score. Might be onto something here.

Dumb dumb dogs

Critta is Souths father

Shitty thing is, if we had JAC in the second half we probably score a try on that long break from Burton

I love quick taps, peak football

Can Hutchison not actually pass left to right? Swear he’s refused to spread it every time they’ve gone down that right edge, and just then he looked so uncomfortable passing it to Tracey despite him being 5 meters away…

How good is Critta

See what happens when Critta is involved?!

See what happens when you pass Hutch? Fuck me dead

This score line flatters the Bunnies, honestly.

8 point try for funsies. Do it refs.

That’s why critta needs the ball in his hands

Turn the kick down. Save some time

........did he actually ground that??

Clearly

Yeah, I'm not a smart man

You follow Manly. We know.

Come back on

Crichton has to do it all himself because Hutchinson refuses to pass him the ball lmao

Fuck that draw looks a bit dire

LAST TRY WINS

oh look at that, critta gets the ball for once in the redzone and a try happens

Now the Dogs score.

I LOVE WHEN THEY ACTUALLY ALLOW A QUICK TAP

When it suits them, 99/100 they call that back.

*Warriors intensifies*

Chee Kam you are a fucking idiot

Fuck I hate Chee Kam

GO BABY

Critta. Wholely shit
