2025 R9 MAGIC Sat - South Sydney 4-30 Newcastle @ Suncorp

[yobbo84]

Sullivan is 0 wins and 11 losses as a starting halfback across 3 separate clubs.

Cogger is a premiership winner.

 

[Fangs]

Elliott and Saifiti return. The rot stops here.

Newcastle by 3.

 

[yobbo84]

Wighton now also likely out injured. I don't know that I've seen an injury list where your first, second, third and fourth choice captains would all be out injured/suspended.

It's a heck of an unavailable backline:

1. Alex Johnston 2. Tyrone Munro 3. Latrell Mitchell 4. Jack Wighton 5. Makaele Ravalawa 6. Cody Walker 7. Jamie Humphreys

Not to mention Cameron Murray, Siliva Havili, and a few others (Host, Lovett, etc).

If Newy don't win this they should be made to walk home.

 

[speedster]

Wighton confirmed out and Dodd to start at half with Sullivan now five-eighth.

Can't tip Souths with this many outs. If the Knights can't click into gear and win this one against such as depleted side, then as Geoff Toovey said, there needs to be an investigation.

With Aitken also out now (source), the Rabbitohs unavailable team for Round 9 is filling out - we're just short a couple of props. Shaq Mitchell has been promoted from a season in the injured XVII to reserve grade bench.

1. Alex Johnston
2. Tyrone Munro
3. Latrell Mitchell
4. Jack Wighton
5. Mikaele Ravalawa
6. Cody Walker
7. Jamie Humphreys
8.
9. Siliva Havili
10.
11. Euan Aitken
12. Jacob Host
13. Cameron Murray

14. Gerome Burns
15. Ben Lovett
16. Max McCarthy
17. Talanoa Penitani

Of those 15 unavailable players, 9 or 10 (depending on where you play Latrell) are from our top 17. Yikes.

Tipped Souths but hadnt really thought much about it or looked at the teams. After looking at them geez, surely the Knights do something? I predict very little magic.

Knights by 8

 

[JamesRustle]

I don't think this will be as dull a game as I thought earlier in the week... maybe it's the magic round exuberance. Knights 13+

He's not in QLD but will apparently fly up tonight or tomorrow morning if baby comes early

Knights by 4

 

[Panther Mike]

Knights to win by 8 but could be kiss of death with how I've been tipping

Can see Newcastle winning well here.

Souths have been ripped to shreds by injuries, 3pm, sunny arvo, they will be desperate for a win.

 

[Frederick]

I thought euan Aitken was going to be ruled out?

 

[Spot On]

Adam O’Brien just revealed his game plan on Ch 9.

‘We need to dumb things down and play percentage footy’.

OMFG
