Disagree. Avoided commenting/reading the thread of this game as i knew it would be full of "SL embarrassing"
"We're miles behind etc"
I just enjoyed watching a rugby league masterclass last night in one of the most complete performances i have seen. Probably only bettered by Australia's in the 2013 WC final. Doesn't matter which SL side Souths faced yesterday Leeds, Saints, Wigan, Warrington, they would have all been comfortably beaten.
Every thing Souths did yesterday should be shown to all juniors. There passing was sublime. nearly all their passes were exactly where the man running on to the ball wanted it. Just in front of them into the breadbasket. Yes Souths had a bit of luck with he bounce of the ball. But they made their own luck as just about everyone on the team were chasing their kicks.
Did football fans moan about how far every single football team were behind Barcelona 3/4 years a go when they absolutely dominated. I just appreciated a fantastic rugby league team last night rather than focusing negatively on everything. Souths will embarrass plenty of NRL teams this year.
We need to stick to the WCC series, but this time have a qualification process from the NRL too.
