[raiders fan forever]

If we play like we have last 2 weeks even souths will beat us.

tipping canberra though

 

[Raider_69]

That parasite Henry will be in camp with QLD, which means the players will be under a coach who is passionate about them and about this club

the players will respond in kind. They will work for furance, and they'll put it on souths
raiders by 20

 

[Misanthrope]

Backing Canberra to get in done at home. Hoping that Souths' win was just a flash in the pan. Souths losing feels familiar to me. It makes the world feel in order.

 

[Timmah]

The NRL have ruled that neither of South Sydney's strips are different enough and as such they will wear a new, third jersey:

 

[Ziggy the God]

Canberra have too many injuries.

Souths to win this comfortably.

 

[dragondad]

Gavin Badger is the ref.

Only refs appointment I know so far

 

[Timmah]

Yeah, they'll dribble out as we go.

Tony Archer was confirmed for the Origin so he won't be on the sheet this week.

 

[Timmah]

Teams are up

 

[Ziggy the God]

Go Hegs!!!!

:sarcasm:

 

[SSFC Hitman]

As long as he plays as well as he did in his last game I'll be alright with him.

 

[Penance]

Hegarty's Game against Manly was his best since coming to Souths.

 

[gorilla with a shotgun]

Raiders bench = shocking

 

[DeeGan]

I tip Canberra, if the trend of the past few seasons continue, their opponent will win.

 

[Geohood]

I predict a close game but Raiders to win at home.

 

[Inferno]

Raiders bench = shocking

lol, and the Souths bench?

 

[Alehana]

i'm going call souths on this one,
very close game, but souths are starting to get on a roll, they won their first match, and players called in kiwi squad comming back fresh who have developed their own game better, have more confidence in themselves, this will furthermore flow onto the pitch for them, and altho canberra are at home (which is difficult) they're r comming off a thrashing and will be lower on confidence, so souths by 4.

Some little facts...

Since 1982 there's been 39 clashes. Canberra have won 24 to the Rabbitohs 15.
At Canberra there's been 9 matches, seven have been won by the hosts.

Just one battle between these two, last year at ANZ won by Canberra 16-10.

1990 produced Canberra's biggest win, a 48-0 shellacking at the SFS. The Bunnies haven't had a bigger win over Canberra than in 1982 at Redfern a 37-7 victory.

Why isn't he playing?

Canberra aren't looking that steady in the casualty ward. Michael Weyman is suspended til Round 13, William Zillman & Phil Graham both kissed their season goodbye with knee injuries. Players due back soon include Ryan Hinchcliffe (thumb, next week), Tom Learoyd Lahrs (knee, two weeks) and Marshall Chalk (thumb, Round 15). Neville Costigan is the Raiders fifth reserve but is also still in injury doubt.
The Rabbitohs only injury worry at present is clearly their biggest - Craig Wing's troublesome shoulder three weeks away from repair.
