Definitely. I was just about to post something similar. We knew we were seeing a special side when we played them.

Yes I was just going to start the post when hearing the result. Souths beating the Bulldogs by 30 points then beating the Broncos by 30 points does put things in perspective.

The thing we have to remember is that we did not play very well with lots of errors so maybe we could have lost by a lower margin than the Dogs and Broncos.

Well they just can't compete with Souths.

From what I hear they are thinking of scrapping the whole competition as it's not worth while even trying if another team are so far ahead at this point in the year.

They are outstanding. There is no weakness in them that I can see. You have to wonder how they are so strong, the similarities with another dominant NRL side are there for all to see. Are the rest of the sides in the NRL getting it very wrong or are S youths just doing an incredible job at the moment?

I just hope they are not going down the same route as the Storm took to glory. Crowe's thirst for the title was desperate.

They just have a really strong spine throughout the team in Inglis, Reynolds and Luke, and a very good coach in MM.
The junior talent within the side also happens to be exceptional at the minute. Johnston, Walker and Keary are all very classy players even at their young age.
But not every position is filled with a superstar, so I think it is perfectly reasonable for them to be under their cap with that side.

It will be interesting to see if Souths are able to maintain the squad or whether they find it harder and harder every time one of their young players comes up for renewal. We've seen that several times in SL where a side looks outstanding, only to degrade over the next couple of seasons as the young players demand proper contracts. Also worth remembering that Melbourne weren't stars 1-17 either, they had Ryan Tandy in their GF winning team.

So Saints did better but lost by more points?

Wondering how long it would take you to appear with your weasle words. The point is that Souths creamed the team that beat you, and I suspect they'll cream a few more in the NRL. You goons were lucky to only lose by the point against Brisbane given the mauling they gave your pack

I'm guessing people like the Burgess twins would have been signed on very low contracts when they went over there as they were nowhere near looking like stars back then. George went in 2012 and Tom in 2013, I doubt that Tom has signed a new contract since then but George may have. Other people will know this, but if they haven't then I can't see them being on massive wedges.
