Round one of the Rugby League was this weekend gone and the return of Monday night football saw the Sydney Roosters play the might South Sydney Rabbitohs.
We headed down the local to watch the game and I'm sure Rabbitohs fans alike would agree it was their best performance for many years. They were deserved winners, with defence being the key to their 18-6 win.
Souths new signings have made a huge difference. We've always had some flair, but the Kiwis we bought in the off-season made sure that we didn't concede more points than this flair could manage to score, which sounds obvious, but when you think about it, it was always Souths problem.
Despite the wet weather last night, they dropped little ball and didn't always throw the pressure pass they may once have. Jason Taylor is an excellent addition as coach and will hopefully keep the pressure on the boys to concentrate on the simple skills knowing the points will follow, as they did last night.
Early prediction: 21st premiership for Souths? Probably not, but a finals berth would be good.

Rusty and Peter Holmes a Court have ownership of the Bunnies. As you said, premiership will be way off, but I tipped them last week, and I am tipping them again this week to beat my beloved Eels!
If injuries come into play, they may jag a finals spot. Coach Jason taylor has really brought some discipline and composure to the team, and half Joe williams' game has gone to another level.
Nigel Vagana, Roy Asotasi, David Peachey and particularly the under rated Daniel Irvine have provided a huge boost of craetivity and flair to what is essentailly a young Bunnies team.
Glory, Glory to South Sydney? Maybe not this year, but it may not be too far away!!
Cheers,
