Congratulations must go to the warriors. On their day they are capabilities of beating anyone. It looks like those days are becoming more and more frequent.

Souths made their bed. Signing big names and leaving very little depth. Their fitness and recovery regimes also need looking into.
Again, how would most clubs go missing most of their pack for most of the year? Shithouse. Look at Canberra missing SHillington, TLL and Dugan and Campese much of the year, they've been attrocious.

Recovery programs, sure look at them, but there is depth and then there is playing everyone who should be in the Bears side because they have lost so many players.

This is a season where injuries are a valid excuse IMO. Although, granted, their backlines defence is f**king shit

Souffs with 40 missed tackles, 6 each from Sandow and Luke and 8 from Tyrrell. There's your problem right there.

RB, look at their spine. None if the spine have been injured for any length of time. They spent large on burgess, Taylor, GI, asotasi etc at the expense of players that could fill a supportive role. The fact is sutton and wesser are poor, sandow erratic and Luke MIA. Burgess and Taylor could not have got souths into the 8.

Prior? You'd be better off IMO.

I don't deny they've been hit hard, but so have other teams. The difference is the others like the Knights, Tigers and Raiders aren't using it as an excuse.

Ive heard it from the raiders fans as much as ive heard it from souths fans.
One of your best Skeepe.

Kearneys got it right about Luke, he's a bench specailist.

I can cop Inglis on his current wage if he goes to 6 next year.

Really?

Missing Campese, Orford and Dugan for big chunks of time isn't injury problems for the Raiders?

I think skeepe's a numpty but he's right, the Raiders have been very unlucky with injuries to key players this year.

Suttons previously played well enough (although he's a lock). But a consistently quality forward pack, particularly having Burgess, will make more metres up the middle, giving more room for the spine to play, rather than playing off the back of largely average metres from the guys they have out their at the moment. Burgess, Asotasti and Stuart for most of the season might not have definately gotten them in the 8, but they would've been in a much better position than they are currently.

Souths lack a leader. Asotasi may be captain but he's not a leader. Nor are GI and Taylor. Burgess has the capacity to be one but he's too young ATM. Take out the nominal leader, asotasi, and your most natural leader SB, and you will struggle, I agree.
