'12 | 2nd SF | Sat | Rabbitohs 38-16 Raiders | ANZ

Will it be third time lucky for 'The Pride of the League' after being blown away by the Raiders in the 1987 and 1989 finals? I think so. Bunnies by 6.

Whoever wins loses to Bulldogs next week though.

We really need to contain Luke and Peats otherwise they will just kill us up the middle. However we have more strike power out wide than the bunnies. If we contain them in the middle and spread it wide, we got this

The Raiders are the form team in the competition at the moment, having beaten the sharks, Melbourne and the Dogs recently. They are the Eels / Roosters / warriors of this year

Souths will struggle

That's what she said.

Very difficult game to tip. However, winning form is good form so Raiders by 6. I really can't see whoever wins this game beating the Doggies in two weeks time.

Raiders by 12

Let the good times LOL

Duges better practice his kicking.

Canberra Times reporting that Thommo will move to the centres.

Goalkicking aside, I think Joel will do a better job of containing Inglis. Inglis brushed past Croker like he wasn't there in games earlier this year.

 

[yobbo84]

Thompson always plays well against us. Then again Inglis always kills it vs Canberra...

I reckon whoever plays better on the night will win

 

[Walt Flanigan]

I don't think it will hurt to stick a bigger defender in front of Dave Taylor either.

 

[I Bleed Green]

Haven't seen the team sheet yet, but if Thompson is moved to the centres as expected, it weakens our forward pack having Picker to start.

Would much rather keep Thompson on the edges to mark against Taylor and have Wighton in the centres. I have absolute confidence that Wighton, after only playing 40 mins TYC, is up to the task.

Archer & Cecchin

 

[The.X.Factor9]

I want Souths to win so next week the crowd will be huge but I think Canberra are playing better football at the moment.

 

[VictorTheViking]

Not going to even try and pick it, could go either way

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

Canberra in GP for epic lolz.

This one is going straight to The Book of Lol.

 

[Bumble]

Hope we win. Still not confident. G.I has never had a bad game against Canberra though.

We haven't lost a home final in 23 years, by the way!

Dark horse team, wasn't it? Went on to win the GF?

 

[Pete Cash]

Cannot overstate how well inglis plays against the raiders. Not confident at all.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Yeah it's no conincidence that Melbourne stopped being our bogey side as soon he left the Storm.

 

[Pete Cash]

We've learnt to shut down benji but inglis is a different beast altogether.

 

[Galeforce]

Souths have to play smarter this week and use their game breakers to run more at gaps or 1on1 play situations versus having a GI , SAm, Dave , Sutton run one out at 2/3/4 players expecting to break gang tackles.

 

[Raidersrawesome]

Luke and Peats are the two we need to shutdown , they are the ones that get them on the front foot and Taylor and Inglis will just feed off that.
