Message: [QUOTE="Broncoman, post: 2650401, member: 7803"] My notes from the Charity Shield - It was a dour grinding game as Super Freak posted above and summarised it well. Didn't have great expectations though but it's great to have some footy back. - South Sydney put in a sloppy performance and struggled to complete sets anywhere on the field in the first half but lifted their game in the second but still struggled. TBF though they weren't at full strength and were without Inglis and their halves and whenever you play without 3 of your spine players you will struggle. - St George-Illawarra weren't great but were encouraging as their bench players looked enthusiastic and eager to get involved. Paul McGregor was upbeat post match about the performance of his younger players. They defended well and looked dangerous when Widdop/Marshall and Dugan were on. - Benji Marshall will be the spearhead of the Dragons attack this year. He is their most dangerous attacking player and he played well tonight. If he wasn't taken off the Dragons could've won. - Josh Dugan went off with an injured knee that hyperextended but it isn't serious and he will be back by Round 1 and will possibly play in England. - The 10 referees made some good calls (Nightingale no try as an example) but still with an in goal ref, 2 referees and 2 touch judges we still went to the video referee 3 times if I counted correctly. Considering the plan is to phase out the video ref and make the flow of the game better it isn't a great start [/QUOTE]
