Souths looking to build consistency and continuity ahead of finals run

Souths coach Garrick Morgan should get his hands on most of his troops ahead of this year’s Hospital Cup finals series in a massive boost for a Magpies outfit chasing their first premiership in close to a decade.

Souths have sat comfortably at the pointy end of the ladder for most of the regular season but are yet to play with their full contingent at Chipsy Wood Oval.

“We still haven’t really played with a settled team yet this year but we’ve got a lot of guys to come back in the coming weeks and it feels like a bit of a perfect storm.

“We’ve got Trevor King, John Bryant and Finn Hearn back this week, then we should get Harry (McLaughlin-Phillips) and Connor Vest next week and potentially Taj Annan for the Wests game or the first week of the finals.

“We’ve had a real squad feeling all year and I think we’ve done a good job in making every player feel like they’re a real part of the team, whether they play every week or only get a few minutes off the bench.”
