[PenrithPanther45]

Probably toughest game of the week to tip. Melbourne 46-6. (side note: depends on if smith and cronk are rested)

 

[Vic Mackey]

Yeah one of smith and cronk will sit this out which will probably keep it mildly respectable. Storm by 22.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

lol@souffs

 

[yobbo84]

Melbourne by 86.

 

[moffla]

Will not be resting Smith or Cronk. They've only just started training full time with the team again so it's time for our attack to really gel before finals

 

[Whino]

Storm by lot and lots.

 

[ed-grimley]

Souths will continue to pay for their special GF day in '14.

 

[GongPanther]

Souths supporters shouldn't be blamed if they watched this behind their lounge room chairs.

Storm by at least 40...at half-time.

 

[STORM.99/07]

Will the rabbits win their first ever game against Storm in Melbourne this week?
Methinks NOT

 

[Rhyno]

Storm by 16

 

[Pennies]

Storm.

 

[matrightyeh]

storm to smash them

 

[Rhino_NQ]

i was going to trade out vunivalu in SC this week but might just hang onto him for one more round when i forgot who they were playing this week

 

[Timmah]

storm to smash them

In every post your images are broken, bro

 

[The_Shield]

Storm 13+. Suli to get back to scoring doubles. Fingers crossed that either McLean or NAS are a late inclusion

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Storm.

Match Preview:
Storm v Rabbitohs preview
Jack Clifton | August 4 2016 5:32PM

Melbourne look to consolidate top two effort against wounded Rabbits.

This would have been seen as a brilliant match up when the draw was scheduled late last year and not many people would have predicted the fall from grace that South Sydney have had in season 2016. The icing on the cake was last week's 54-4 humiliation at the hands of the Canberra Raiders which left even the most ardent Souths fans scratching their heads for answers. I guess the only positive news to come out of this is the fact that a majority of teams that have heavy losses generally manage to bounce back the following week. Question is, can the Rabbitohs stop this Melbourne Storm juggernaut that doesn't look like it is slowing down at all? Defense needs to improve ten fold and particularly the communication on the edges which has been very poor in recent weeks.
