this could get embarrassing

What this shows is with everything in our favour we can give their mid table sides a game but their very best sides are on a different planet to ours. If this game was played mid-season in Australia it would be a masacre

Yep, our top teams are mid-table NRL standard, and the top of the NRL and particularly the Bunnies and Roosters are miles ahead pf most of the NRL as well as SL.

Souths played controlled footy, had a great kick & chase and did the basics well. They scored some y tries and got the bounce of the ball, St Helens couldn't take a trick. SL teams have to more aggressive in future and not turn over so much cheap pall.

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.

Agree with this, although the highlight for Souths yesterday was their defence.
There were 2 occasions yesterday when Saints had "certain" tries but, the effort & technique to deny them was utterly superb.
The desire to work hard as a unit, plus, no lack of ability, made it compulsive viewing, even with such a lop sided score line.
