After a week were we put ourselves under to much pressure, Souths bounced back with a powerful performance. We controlled the game superbly.

Dave Taylor decided to put on a great 100th match performance after being dropped from the SOO III. He dominated Penrith out wide.

Tryronne Phillips is making the most of his step up from U18's bagging a trifecta against the Panthers.

The ARLC really needs to address the reserve grade situation of the NRL competition. As a fan we need to bring back Reserve Grade being played in club colours on match day between U20's and First Grade.

This week was a much better effort with the most pleasing improvement was the reduction in errors from 14 to 7 Effective 1st tackles was the best all season at 25.6m and showed the work done during the week

Looking at our left side defence - Hunt-Corrigan-Sutton-McQueen (0-2-3-4) increased to 9 from 6 last week. On the right side Everingham-Farrell-Reynolds-Taylor (0-2-3-1) was decreased to 6 missed tackles between them.

On the positive side only Sutton and Taylor and Merritt has great attacking games with Sutton showing a very strong running game. Our forwards dominated with Taylor, Sam & Luke Burgess, Luke and Crocker cracking the 100+m. Defensively Crocker was our best in the tackling raking up 36 tackles. With Everingham, Hunt and Lowe not missing a tackle.
