Nice touch for Souths to let zebras skip out to 3 zip lead and then teach them that they are going to need a defensive line to get any points this season

Poor coaching and poor tactics.

Last week they acted as if they were champs already ,

Unbelievable, they have had this leave it up to the other guy defence mentality for years now

Will Kingborough have a playing coach for the season or is it just for the summer cup?

Many people love talking about "The good old days" but also want to the game to progress and get better while also living in the past, so it will be interesting to see what happens at the club which has so much potential

I'm hoping the leader of the pride isn't playing on the field for the season buuuut it is Tassie football so anything is possible I guess

Just you worry about Knights.

Summer Cup is a pre season cup for a reason, anybody with half a football brain, which takes out half of this audience to start with, will realise that clubs all use this time to look at their squads try different tactics etc etc.

Most teams at this stage will be fielding players who have never played together before, surprisingly it takes time for players and tactics to develop...

Most teams haven't been able to get onto a full ground with goals in pre season due to the amazing council restrictions imposed across the board so a little suggestion for the football consumer who isn't aware of how things work.

Enjoy the fact that there are games you can go watch and if your keen on learning more, stop just playing play station or watching optus and actually get involved with a club and see whats involved before you get on your keyboard and build your ego up.

Another good round of games and good minutes into players legs.

Still poor performance by Zebras.
How about the coaching staff use the game to practice their coaching skills as well ?
Excuses excuses.
Still only pre season, agreed , but please stop making poor excuses for losses.

Who is that player on far right of your photo of Juventus group Walter ?
I don't recall him ?

At least the Under 21’s are standing up for Zebras, not that it’s going to change the mindset of that club
