Costly Errors
The 2022 transition year continues to have its ups and downs. Against a desperate Tigers outfit, errors proved costly. We had three tries scored from the ensuing 6 tackles. During the 10 minute period when we had 12 men our completions rate was 100% and we scored two tries, so its important that we cut out our defensive errors from our game. Now off to the Central Coast to take on last years Top 4 team Manly, who sit just above us on the ladder.
Koloamatangi powerful display
Keaon is putting in some powerful displays out wide in the second row and reaping the rewards with a 3 tries so far. His ability to impact the defenses out wide is not going unnoticed by rep selectors after he was 18th man last year in Origin. Looking forward to seeing him cause havoc out wide. And to think he is still growing.
Hawkins takes control
It was a dominate display on the weekend as Souths retained the Kelly-Sattler Cup. The perosn leading the way was Dean Hawkins. He led the way taking control of the match setting up all 6 tries, either through his running game or well placed grubber kicks outwide. He lloks like he has shaken off a few early season injuries.
Peoples and Mitchell get a call up
With a second row injury crisis hit the club with Host, Cartwright, Chee-Kam and Lovett out, it was good to see two of standout reserve grade players gat a call up onto the extended bench. Trent Peoples has been one of the most consistant performers at second second row in reserve grade and had a good hit out in the Charity Shield. While Shaq Mitchell also gets his first call up into the main squad after some really good performances up the middle. Good to see these fringe players getting a chance.
Pincinelli takes charge
A familar surname Sharna Picinelli has joined Souths this year and has taken immediate charge of our womens team. She is a non-nonsense lock who has had some NRLW experiance. Now for her to help guide the team to the next level.
MRC Inconsistencies remain
A new judicary system, but we have the same MRC level inconsistances, where some games incidents get 5 weeks while others only 1. The only way to solve this issue is to introduce a overide option, otherwise the MRC remain unaccountable. We need to remove the subconcious bias that exists in making MRC rulings.
