Well after a slow start they are now up to 6th in the NRL after beating St.George at the weekend with a golden point.

Sounds like Madge is again making a big impact - hope they keep it up.

Waney is better

They had a bye last round. Still pretty decent after a poor start.

With the players Madge has at souths, I wouldn't be shocked to see them win the NRL in the next 3 years. Maybe even this year.

They are looking good this year and you cant half tell that Maguire coaches them. The transformation on the field has just been like when he took over at Wigan. They have some cracking players too such as Inglis which obviously helps!

Burgess, Inglis, Luke, Taylor, King... I struggle to see how that team isn't already in the top four. I wish SL was as competitive as the NRL.

To be fair Burgess has only just come back from injury and Inglis has missed games. I think Luke is overated though and King hasnt been that good at all from what I have seen and his defence is awful at centre. Taylor is some player though but is not really a Maguire type player.

Indeed. Some of the best players in the world play in teams at the bottom of the table. The only way that could happen in SL is if everyone spent to the cap limit.

That is why spending to the cap should be one of the main criteria of staying in SL.

Spot on. Paramatta dead last on 4 points with Jarryd Hayne (spelling?) as their starting full back, would never happen in Super League.

10 or 12 team Super League. Said this in a massive post on the VT a while ago. The beauty of the NRL is that a major free agent from the top of the table will quite gladly go to the bottom on the table if the money is right. In super league, let's take Tomkins for example, if he was OOC tomorrow and Wigan couldn't afford to keep him because of the cap, his realistic options are Hull, Leeds, Saints, Warrington, Catalans. Maybe add Huddersfield into that, but those of the main teams. Add in another french team, who would be attractive with tax breaks and whatnot, and you'd have league pretty even across the board.

Souths are not good enough in the halves to win anything IMO. Maybe if they had kept Sandow (although he's been terrible so far this year).
They have some great players but aren't nearly as creative as the likes of Storm, Warriors, Manly Etc.
