"I feel for Jason at the moment, he's going through a tough time and every coach goes through it," Stuart said. "It's a very lonely situation when you are in this type of rut, things like that (the sideline incident) happen." Taylor says he was later informed his actions were against the rules. "I understand that now, yes," he said. "I knew that I wasn't allowed to approach the sideline so I got the boys to come to me, but you are not allowed to do that either. "So the answer is you can't talk to them as a coach, so I suppose that's what the runner's for. "That's a learning curve and we'll move on." The Sharks had a 10-0 lead after 32 minutes but then were kept tryless for the rest of the game. They were forced to repel persistent attacking raids from Souths in the second half. This article quotes official as saying Souths would not have been stripped points: www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,23542105-5001023,00.html The next opponents this Sunday are the Tigers and they've lost 3 straight. fingers crossed The Big Bunny

I have noticed the coaches in the boxes, but didn't realize it was a rule they be there, although common sense now tells me I should have realized that. I wonder why this rule is in place.

A day after his coach Jason Taylor was rebuked for calling his team off the field mid-match to advise them on tactics, Holmes a Court suggested the NRL should look at addressing the issue by making players more accessible to officials during games. "Maybe coaches up in a glass box is not what all supporters want," Holmes a Court said. "Maybe every now and then a coach coming down is good for the game." Holmes a Court said he had raised the matter with NRL chief executive David Gallop. Under the game's existing rules, coaches are allowed to sit on the sideline but must not leave the bench area. While Taylor did not violate those rules, his players did by leaving the field to form a huddle around their coach. A technical area would have allowed Taylor to address them without the players walking off the playing arena. Despite the Rabbitohs languishing in last spot Taylor continues to enjoy the full support of his club. "He's a young coach whose maturity amazes me," Holmes a Court said. There's no pressure on JT from me or other people."

I agree, switching the players all around and sending the star players down wouldn't seem to be the answer to what's going on. I don't know anything about the way other clubs are run, but i would think that would be discouraging to the players. If they're coming late to practice, and perhaps forgetting discipline when they're not on the field.....that sounds like they are disheartened. It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude. -----Ralph Waldo Emerson

Russell for sure is very hurt at heart! I am very sorry for all Souths family! Doing the maths! Well, the tournament has 26 rounds, 6 of them already played. So, there is more 20 rounds to go, and imagine if Souths could win from now on all of them, it would make 40 points. But we know that its asking too much, but its not impossible. Anyway, I could be wrong, but I remember Souths did around 13 or 14 wins last year and was one of 8 finalists of 2007s tournament. So, I think, the team could still loss more 5 or 6 games, to be still thinking in being among the 8 finalists this year. So, I hope they are spending now their share/part of losses. My fingers are crossed for them, and I am sending also posivite vibes. Go Bunnies Go! Everybody smiling!

The Tigers streaked away scoring 30 unanswered points, after the Rabbitohs led 10-nil after 27 minutes and 10-6 at half time. The Rabbitohs played a solid first half with a strong defensive line complementing some enterprising attack. It took 21 minutes for either side to register points, with Rabbitoh centre Beau Champion crossing for his second try in two weeks to open the scoring. Jeremy Smith sent the ball to the left to five-eighth John Sutton who drew two defenders to put Champion into a hole. The Rabbitohs took advantage of a number of repeat sets to build pressure and score the try. Nathan Merritt converted to give Souths a six-point lead. Six minutes later Ben Rogers scored from a well-worked play close to the Tigers line. Again the ball went left, with dummy-half George Ndaira finding David Faalogo whose quick passing game hit Rogers to score. Four minutes later, the Tigers scored through second-rower Chris Heighington. Brett Hodgsons conversion finished the first half scoring at 10-6 in favour of the Rabbitohs. For the Rabbitohs, hooker George Ndaira looked particularly dangerous. The 2007 Emerging Nations Player of the Year made good metres from dummy-half, put support runners into holes and tackled well. Sutton also looked dangerous in attack on the left hand side and Ben Rogers enthusiasm was an added ingredient to the Rabbitohs sides of the last few weeks. The Rabbitohs revisited the straight line defensive pattern that served them so well in 2007, with the Tigers finding few holes in the Rabbitohs line. For the Tigers, Taniela Tuiaki caused a few problems for the Rabbitohs right-side defence, and halfback Mathew Head was creating opportunities which his outside men couldnt convert. Unfortunately for the red and greens, their second half performance didnt match the first. The Rabbitohs didnt mount pressure the way did in the first half, and a number of missed tackles cost them dearly. The Tigers were the first to score in the second half, with referee Ben Cummins playing a huge role in the scoring of the try. Mat Head put in a grubber kick close to the Rabbitohs line and Cummins failed to get out of the way of the ball. The Tigers, as attacking team, got the scrum feed and the repeat set, and scored through Dean Collis just three plays later. Hodgson converted to give the Tigers the lead for the first time in the game. In the 65^th minute, Tigers back-rower Ben Teo scored a remarkable try, with four Rabbitohs defenders unable to keep hold of him over the line. Hodgsons sideline conversion gave the Tigers an eight-point buffer with only 14 minutes left on the clock. Just two minutes later, Tigers centre Chris Lawrence brushed off Germaine Paulson to score the Tigers fourth try. Hodgsons goal extended the lead to 14 points with ten minutes left on the clock. Stuart Flanagan was the next to score for the Tigers, rounding out the scoreline for the game, 30 points to ten in favour of the home side. The Rabbitohs will go on to play the Brisbane Broncos on ANZAC Day, Friday 25 April at Suncorp Stadium. Wests Tigers 30 (Chris Heighington, Dean Collis, Ben Teo, Chris Lawrence, Stuart Flanagan tries; Brett Hodgson 5 goals) defeated South Sydney Rabbitohs 10 (Beau Champion, Ben Rogers tries; Nathan Merritt goal) In the Toyota Cup fixture, the Wests Tigers registered a 26 points to 12 victory over the South Sydney Rabbitohs at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The Rabbitohs came within two points of their opponents early in the second half, but the Tigers managed to pull away to record their third victory of the season. Wests Tigers 26 (Brett Lane 2, Blake Ayshford, Robert Lui, Wayde Dunley tries; Matt Parata 2, Joey Latham goals) defeated South Sydney 12 (Michael Cummins, Luke Capewell try; Chris Sandow 2 goals)

Keep the spirit. www.news.com.au/dailytele...23,00.html SOUTH Sydney champions Mario Fenech and Craig Coleman last night made a plea from the heart for unity, loyalty and resolve after the Rabbitohs' disastrous season-opening six-game losing streak. Their comments come as Souths co-owner Peter Holmes a Court sent a message to suffering fans: "My heart goes out to you". Fenech and Coleman, two of the club's greatest players, called on fans and former players to show some passion in supporting Souths. After Sunday's 30-10 loss to Wests Tigers at the SCG, Souths legend John Sattler expressed fears his former club may not win a match this season. But Fenech said everyone associated with the great club - the winner of 20 premierships - must stand by the Rabbitohs in this gut-wrenching time. "I love South Sydney. They're my team through rain, hail or shine," Fenech told The Daily Telegraph. "Now is the time you find out who your friends are. The important word at the moment is 'loyalty'. "We've got to unite and support the team. Imagine how the boys would be feeling at the moment? "I hated losing with a passion so I'm disappointed about the results too. But I also think there are traces of the tall poppy syndrome here. South Sydney has climbed off the canvas through (owners) Russell Crowe and Peter Holmes a Court. Some people might be laughing at us now but, hey, we have won more premierships than other club." Former club half Coleman said no one should be playing the "blame game" and urged everyone to "stick together". "In the Souths of old, we never turned on each other," Coleman said. "I played more games than anyone for Souths and I know what the fans can be like. They can throw you to the wolves when things go bad. "But everyone has to stick together through this and don't go blaming anyone. "We did well last year (to make the finals) and we were all proud of South Sydney. No one can leave now we've hit a rough spot. Souths are copping it from all angles but Jason Taylor is an outstanding coach. He'll get the club through this." Souths face Brisbane and North Queensland over the next fortnight, tough teams to turn the tide against. "It's been a tough start to the season. I'm disappointed," Holmes a Court said. But he also dispelled any theory he was becoming restless with the club. "No one has to worry about me," he said. www.news.com.au/dailytele...23,00.html and Big Roy too. *Quote:* The 26-year-old said lack of experience - not effort - was costing the Rabbitohs victory. A DEFIANT Roy Asotasi has promised to "lead Souths out of the mess" and made the stunning prediction that the winless Rabbitohs will still make the top eight. The under-siege skipper yesterday opened up about the Rabbitohs' disastrous start to the Centenary season - admitting he is "hurting" now more than at any other time in his 115-game career. Asotasi, the man last year touted as the Rabbitohs' $450,000-a-year saviour, said he was determined to lift the club from the bottom of the table. "I have never been put in this position before," Asotasi (left) said. "It is new territory and it hurts. The leaders of this team have to step up to the plate. I need to lead the way and it is time for myself and Kiddy (David Kidwell) to show leadership and the time to do it is now. "We will lead the club out of the mess." Stung by harsh criticism - including having Rabbitohs great John Sattler say the Kiwi Test forward isn't playing like a first grader - Asotasi admitted his form was down. "We need to get respect back and that includes me," Asotasi. "Sattler was a legend and he has the right to make comments like that. "My form hasn't been up there and that's something I need to step up. "It is something I want to fix sooner rather than later." After playing in star-studded teams, including the Bulldogs' premiership-winning team in 2004, Asotasi said resurrecting the Rabbitohs' season was his toughest test yet. "Without a doubt," he said. "Playing internationals, you have all these good players around you. When I was at the Dogs we had (Willie) Mason, (Mark) O'Meley and Sonny Bill (Williams). At Souths we have a great bunch of players, but it is my biggest test because we don't have those experienced players." But even without the big names, Asotasi refuses to concede the NRL wooden-spoon favourites can't make the finals in 2008. "We are confident we can still make the eight," Asotasi said. "A couple of years ago the Dragons lost six on the trot and they made the finals. "We can do that too." Asotasi admitted other NRL teams thought the Rabbitohs were "soft". 'Yeah, it hurts," Asotasi said. "No doubt. But that is other people saying that. They can play us however they like. If they feel like playing us through the middle, come at your own free will." The 26-year-old said lack of experience - not effort - was costing the Rabbitohs victory. "It is just a confidence thing. When you lose that many games (six), your confidence isn't really sky-rocketing," he said. "Losing Nigel Vagana and Craig Wing has hurt. "Wing was brought to the club to fix our halves problem. We are inexperienced in the most important positions in the game, especially in the halves, and also at fullback. "Fetuli Talanoa is doing a great job but he has only had four games. Other sides are very experienced in those positions. The Broncos have Karmichael Hunt and Darren Lockyer, the Roosters have Anthony Minichellio and Braith Anasta . . . they all have experienced guys. "We just have to persevere, you can't ask for any more than that."
