For the first time ever that I can think of, the new season started on a Thursday night, and I decided to tune in. Souths vs Roosters, big return of Sonny Bill Williams, big things expected from Souths star line-up. And well, Souths certainly delivered!
28-10, big result, easy victory for Souths. Roosters pretty disappointing, but that was to be expected I think. Souths deserve to be second favourites this year I think, behind reigning premiers Melbourne.
As for my team, Wests Tigers? Have to wait until Monday night to see them play, probably can’t watch it but will listen out for the result. They should do better than last year, but no idea of their true form. The season awaits…
