Yep and that’s not changing any time soon. I can’t believe they haven’t tried to shake out some decent props from clubs that are stacked. They should be hard in after Tre Mooney.

It's an early errorthon.

I think these teams might both struggle to make top four tbh. Brisbane read a lot of their own press plus lost a couple of good ‘uns and relying on an old half. Hopefully they’re mentally hurt from last year’s gf too. theyre just a made for tv franchise with no soul and a ready made Origin roster since 1988
Souths look light on for quality up front to me and I’m not sure their half is up to running them around the park.
Early days for both though.

It's always tough to make conclusions so early in but these guys look like they both partied hard in Vegas.

Souths haven't completed a set for about 10 minutes. Not surprising they let Walsh walk straight through them.

That was horrible from Mitchell before the sin binning.
Excellent work to hammer Mam though.

Awful from Walker as well.

It's literally over 20 minutes since a completed set.

Souths have got the Rorters next week. If they go 0-3 I reckon the wheels will fall off. Long way back. Happened to my mob last year. They’re lucky to only be 12-0 down and I don’t think Brisbane have been great either
There was talk last year the inmates were running the joint at souths. I’m not sure their half back has the moxie to run some of their bigger egos around the park

Souths we’re awful last year and nothing has changed which is why I can’t understand people rating them highly
Now 12-12 so wtf do I know?

I’m not sold that either of last night’s teams can genuinely push for a comp with their current forward packs.
Broncos getting pumped up the middle for much of the start of that game by Keppie/Shaq M/Tatola was concerning.
Flegler is a huge, huge loss and they’ve not replaced him at all. They also have zero second row depth as seen in Vegas. An injury to Piokura or Riki will be disastrous.
Souths have so many ordinary players. But I guess that will always happen when you have so much cap tied up in 5-7 players. I know beggars can’t be choosers when it comes to bottom dollar players but pretty much all their reserve outside backs are absolute chumps. Illias is also possibly the worst first choice halfback in the competition. They’ll almost definitely be 0-3 after next week and given their draw could potentially be 1-7 after 9 rounds.

I might actually get to watch more of the NRL than I think - I'm generally working from home Thursday and Friday, so will probably have the Thurs night game on in background, then Friday have the choice of Super Rugby or the League (or one on tv, other on 2nd screen/mobile.

In a perfect world; yep. But they flat out can’t cover an injury to Haas, Carrigan or either second rower. And with the attrition rate of forwards it isn’t likely they’ll all play a full season.
