NRL: Craig Bellamy speaks to the media after their round 2 victory against the Warriors.
South Sydney dropped their second straight to start the season and with an important grudge match next up, one expert believes Jason Demetriou must consider a halves shake-up.
Souths were guilty of trying to go around the Broncos in their 28-18 loss in Round 2 and it was only when they went through Brisbane where they looked like a dangerous team. “That will give them more of a run threat. But it is unfair on Ilias because it is not the kid’s fault.” Cobbo has shifted to left centre this season to replace the departed Herbie Farnworth and while he’s still got some work to do defensively, he’s proven he’s going to be a major strike weapon for the Broncos this season.“What he’s doing at left centre, I think by the end of his career — with the trajectory of his career — he could end up one of the Broncos’ greatest centres,” he said on The Late Show.
It’s the price you pay for success, but to remain at the top despite all the turnover and departures of star players is a feat that can’t be understated. However not seven days later, Penrith were far too good for a talented Eels side to run out 28-18 winners. “It was pretty smart of Ivan to bring it up and have people remember because after last week when they didn’t score a point , I had a lot of people say, ‘well that’s it, it’s over’. It’s a new challenge but I don’t think it is. Who is willing to back against these guys who have just won three.
Coach Craig Bellamy even admitted in his post-game press conference that “it would take a little bit to match what happened” on Saturday night. Galvin was more than willing to take the line on, running 12 times for 109 metres and will only benefit from having more of a platform to play off after the Tigers failed to have a single forward top the century mark in metres against the Raiders.
Marshall though wasn’t really committing to Sullivan, Sezer or Galvin when asked if he was willing to ride the ups and downs of playing the 18-year-old rookie early in the season. Despite missing the eight in 2023, there were high expectations around the North Queensland Cowboys and their talented roster entering this season.
He’s seemed to relish the captaincy this season as well, not only by taking his game to another level, but leading by example in the effort areas. Brooks was one of Manly’s best in Las Vegas, and he backed it up with another impressive attacking display in the win over the Roosters on Sunday. “I thought he was great. He’s done a really good job the first two weeks and he’ll only get better as well,” Seibold.
“If he can bring those three things each week, that will help Chez, Turbo and the other guys around him.” That was until Wayne Bennett’s Dolphins gave them a reality check with a 38-0 thumping. In the process the NRL newcomers managed to keep a team to zero for the first time.
