No Adam Reynolds, Latrell Mitchell, Cameron Murray, Campbell Graham or Josh Mansour = no chance vs the Storm.

Sadly this is likely true.

I think you could with without Mansour and Graham if you had the other 3 though. But half a spine out against atop side is pretty tough.

Graham is a massive loss defensively - it's a likely right side of Dean Hawkins (or Benji), Steven Marsters and Jaxson Paulo vs Munster, Olam and Addo-Carr *shudders*.

Anyway, we already know the Storm are our bogey side anyway. I'm more annoyed we won't be full strength vs your team - that's going to give us the best indication of where Souths are at in 2021.

Unfortunately this would appear to be the case. However, how sweet is it going to be if they can pull off one of the greatest upsets of all time and beat the Drizzle? I'll be stoked if we can just keep it close.

 

[yobbo84]

Jaxson Paulo also out 6-8 weeks.

The plus side is this is 2 pts the team could drop even at full strength so it's probably an ideal time to see what some of the depth players can do.

It's a shame souths injuries and suspensions have ruined this one. Storm are the last team you want to play under strength as they just don't beat themselves like most other sides can do at times.

It would take a phenomenal team to lose half their spine and beat Melbourne.

Don't worry. A top 4 spot is very much on the cards for Souths.

But unfortunetaly, a 30 point win for the Storm beckons here.

People seen Bunniesman tipping Souths as certainties and started selling properties to get on Melbourne

Why have a crack at someone who is supporting their team? If he had tipped Melbourne you would be on his case saying he's not a true supporter.

Well it's just a bit of banter to begin with and secondly, he has a bit of a reputation for declaring teams as morals to win and then they usually don't end up winning
