I've watched pretty much all of South Sydney's matches this season and Goodwin has been an impressive performer in a team having a hugely disappointing year.

He will prove to be a very good signing.

Bring back the locker/wardonia cup vs pies on new years day or weekend.

+1

In pre-SL days our Boxing Day and New Year's Day opponents were usually Wigan and Leigh. The locker/wardonia 'friendly' itself as always right at the start of the season, so was usually a firey encounter as both teams were ready to go. No reason why a new sponsored friendly of this kind could not be instigated, but taking place 5-6 weeks out of the new season may mean it has no more intensity than the Widnes match.

No he isn't. Though good to see Hiku named in their squad this morning.

Not necessarily a low key affair in the locker cup....
Both go at it full strength
Win lose or draw, both teams can evaluate where they are at and get a month to fine tune.
Plus bragging rights for 12 months...or you can have the Dire fm boxing day reserves match to look forward too.
