Round 13 Friday 1st June v Sharks @ ANZ Stadium

[callmack1]

Looking forward to this!! The Sharks are flying and this is going to be a very tough match with out our Origin stars.

GI, Gags, Cook and Crichton are all gonna be out.

Our depth is good enough to cover this though and hopefully, AJ returns.

 

[callmack1]

Tom is also free to play which is great news!!

 

[Rsag85]

Aj, Kennar And Musgrove looks to all be available for this game too

Would be great to see AJ back early, but I wouldn’t count on it. If he’s not it could bring Hunt into the backline and Fui onto the bench. Wouldn’t surprise me to even see Cody used at FB. It’s going to be a very interesting Team List Tuesday.

 

[CliveC]

Hunt and Jennings the centres,Cody at f.b.hope not!
Dewey at f.b. If not AJ.

 

[Itsamansgame]

Through my belief in myself I have been progressing extremely well after my operation and have been going far better than expected with my rehab.
This is the same belief I have with our team at the moment and I'm sure it's the belief they have in themselves,no challenge is to great to climb.
We can win this with whatever team we put on the field and I honestly believe number 22 is ours this year.
We are a team in every way a team can be described,we have a aura around us at the moment and isn't it beautiful.

 

[CliveC]

We still have the Burgess trio that the Sharks wont get on top of,sure our backs may struggle but we still have our halves firing.
How about I give people on here a laugh,on another site Cody quote "is just distributing the ball"
NRL stats are saying he is leading the NRL in try involvements and for good measure Souths leading tackler in the backs.
Interesting to see how our backs go.A home game ! Wow!
Souths to win!

 

[Travitoh]

Is Kennar a likely in?

 

[Itsamansgame]

NO NEGATIVE WAVES BABY!!!

I reckon Turner will come into the starting back row. Just a feeling I have.

Will be good having Kennar back to Itsa.

I can't wait.

Robbie will do a good job for us too. He will have a point to prove!

 

[Rsag85]

I think it should be

1 Aj
2 Graham
3 Burns
4 Hunt
5 Jennings
6 Cody
7 Reynolds
8 George
9 Doueihi
10 Tom
11 Sammy
12 Sutto (c)
13 Murray
Interchange
14 Clark
15 Nicholls
16 Fuimaono
17 Tatola

 

[Rabbit Stew]

Hmm, who do we pick as hooker? The 270-game NRL first grader, former Australia and NSW rep and premiership winner who played his whole career in that position, or the 19-year-old centre? Please.
Doueihi will be in the side but he should be nowhere near the no. 9.
If you drop Farah into the pack with Burgess x 3 + Sutton and Murray, with Clark, Nicholls and Tatola on the bench, then you still have a very good-looking forward rotation.
Reynolds and Walker give stability in the halves but the loss of GI and Gagai mean big changes 1-5. Souths need a fit Johnson this week

There is a reason why Farah is playing reserve grade at the moment because he is not suited to our style of footy. Robbie is in it for himself and selfish player. Doueihi is manly a halve but has played fullback, centre and Hooker!!! Yes he has played hooker before and also has been training in that position these past few weeks along with other positions. Farahs form at the bears has been poor, he didn’t play on the weekend and guess what the bears won!!! Strange right. His poor choices cost games for his selfish plays.

Shocking in defence needs to go back to the bears and Work harder on that part of his game

I agree 100% with this assessment of Farah. I don’t know who should be hooker but I’d prefer Farah as far away from this team as possible.

Unfortunately I can see him being picked.

Yep he will be there!

Kennar was going well before he got injured too!

I wouldn't have Douiehi at hooker as in the 9mins he was there a few weeks ago he was pedestrian!

We have to pick our second choice specialist hooker and that is Robbie! He deserves a send off match too. Who knows he may go well and play off the bench after an origin match and Cookie backing up can't play the 80
Having depth is important and it's up to Farah to prove he's still reasonable.

Well hopefully Seibs picks on form instead of the players name value. No player should be a walking in start just because they have some what high profile history. In my book you have to earn your spot by being in form and pushing for a spot anywhere in the starting 17. On current weeks at the bears Farah has been up to reserve grade level not first grade level and his form doesn’t warmt a first grade spot

So lets pick a bloke who has minimal to no form in the position... great logic!

 

[themacemaceman]

I'll be interested to see how Farah goes.
All the experts are saying our expansive style is opening up the middle so maybe even old Robbie can find a few metres there even without the explosive speed that Cookie possesses.
And hopefully the penny has dropped with Robbie and he plays the way the team want him to play, not how he wants to play.
He could end up playing in some important games for us.
Who would have though Api Korisou would be our starting Hooker in a grand final.
Anything could happen.
