2022 season got off to a rough start for Souths, losing three of their first four games, including an upset loss to the Brisbane Broncos, and a golden point loss to the Melbourne Storm. However, Souths would finish the regular season strongly, winning seven of their last ten games, including a four game winning streak between rounds 16 and 19, and narrow losses to the Sharks and Panthers. The South Sydney club finished seventh with a win-loss record of 14-10. In week one of the finals, Souths beat arch-rivals the Sydney Roosters 30-14 after losing to them the week prior. The game was notable for having seven sin bins (four of which were Souths players), setting a new record for the most sin bins in a single game. The following week, Souths beat the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks in a one-sided match, winning 38-12, and advancing to a fifth consecutive preliminary final, where they would face the Penrith Panthers. After leading 12-0, Penrith scored five unanswered tries to win the game 32-12, ending South Sydney’s season. Souths Victory Song - Club Song The Souths Victory Song (club song) is called Glory Glory to South Sydney and uses the tune of the Battle Hymn of the Republic. It was written sometime before the end of 1967, the exact date not being known. It was apparently played in the South Sydney Rugby League Club at Redfern and became popular. When Souths won the first ever televised grand final in 1967, it was recorded and played on a Sydney radio station and then on a late night TV show. It became so popular that a record was made of it and sold to the public. The record was made using 15 musicians and four backup singers who were known as the Will Dower Sounds. Will Dower was the Leagues Club band leader. The arrangement was by Les Dempsey and the lead vocals by the Leagues Club's solo singer, Terry Holden. The record was officially known as South's Victory Song rather than the now more popular Glory Glory to South Sydney Many tens of thousands of copies of the song were sold in the late 1960s, with the proceeds going to charity. The song is still used in 2014 and is exactly the same original recording. It is believed that the song is the first specifically written club song for any Australian premier rugby league team.
