So want WB and Souths to win tonight! Get those fat multis off to a flyer. Also have a saver with Parramatta but go the Wabbits!!

 

[Kimlo]

How good do Souths look?
Absolutely on fire tonight, 22-0 against the Eels 35 minutes in.

Worth noting Eels have the best defence in the comp this year

 

[Kimlo]

This game does confirm to me that I think the Eels will get dominated in the finals, I don't see them as a contender this year.

Penrith are easily my favourites to win, with Melbourne a distant second, Raiders third, Roosters 4th, Rabbits 5th. I can't see another team winning it.

Soooooo good. Just the start I'd hoped for. The million bucks is mine ! Just 7 more upsets needed ha ha.

That connection between their halves is sweet, and Mitchell's linking on the left with Walker is superb. The speed with which they leave the Eels short is clinical. Mitchell can be so dominant. A class FB makes such a big difference. Well planned plays, good coaching. Definite contenders on this form. Hope Dearden and SOS are watching this. Reynolds is better than I thought on this performance

 

[Big Pete]

Statement game from South Sydney, they're tearing the Eels apart on the edges and their spine is doing a terrific job of leading them across the park. It appears the combinations have come together at just the right time.

The Eels have been exposed and their playmakers appear to be rattled. They've over-played their hand on numerous occassions or have just gotten the play wrong. As a result, they haven't been in the game and Souths have been able to run away with it.

 

[Accept]

Jaydn S'ua looks so good these days. He has become a powerhouse player. I have to admit that I never ever rated him and thought his career would quietly fade away. The best day of his life occurred when Seibs released him. Talk about a pivotal moment in one's career.

 

[Kimlo]

Mitchell looks gone for the year. That's a huge blow for Souths.

 

[Fatboy]

Love watching the Eels shit the bed.

I remember some people calling him the next Ben teo when he was at the broncos and now he’s firing at Souths just like.... Ben teo.

Maybe we should throw out the "How to use a backline for Dummies" books and get this instead.

NRL shitting bricks about their planned fairy tale for the year... but don't worry NRL, parra play the broncos at bankwest in a couple weeks to right your ship again.

Beautiful to watch. Walker has been outstanding

Imagine how good Souths would be if they had a modern coach.
