7-0 in Sydney since round 1.
We've already beaten the Dogs this year.
We've won 6 of our last 7.

Souths by 8.

If we win, after this we have the double bye (Parra + the actual bye). So if we win this there is a very good chance our round 16 game against Brisbane could be 2nd v 3rd and a playoff for 2nd.

 

[BranVan3000]

Souths looked cocky against Canberra in terms of attitude. Though may have also been the effect of a short turn around

Need a good attitude to take down the Dogs.

Also worried about Inu. He tears us apart and will be looking for a good start at the Dogs.

 

[the dude]

Will be a very good game. If we can win this then a top 4 finish is officially a realistic expectation.

bring on saturday!!

Souths by 12, GI too good.

I just laid $50 on Inglis winning the Dally M, he's a sure thing IMO.

I don't know why, that one made me lol

 

[Ziggy the God]

Have to say I am happy the Dogs won tonight, this sets up a great game for Saturday.

Good luck all, let the games begin!

 

[natheel]

Inglis is having a great season but Dogs i feel can get this in a close one. Souths been impressive the last few weeks (Canberra game wasn't great until GI turned it on)

Bulldogs have Ben Barba, Frank Pritchard, Ennis, Kasiano, Graham and now Inu who can really make an impact on this match.

Inu had a good games tonight aginst Roosters and will be primed to prove the doubters wrong again against Souths.

He's a tremendous talent

 

[Miller was a legend]

I hope the dogs get the 2 points in this one

 

[Grapple]

Souths are playing well at the moment. Will be a great game. Hopefully our defense keeps improving and Taupau gets a run this week.

 

[Moffo]

Hodko and graham on the bench for halatau and Keating? classic des tactic, loves leaving some firepower on the bench

 

[SaraSassypants]

Really looking forward to this game. It will be a close one and will probably get the biggest crowd of the round alongside Bennett vs. his old club.

 

[The.X.Factor9]

It should be a good game, we just can't give Inglis room.

Us by 4.

Uh oh. On current form, the best player in the world had this to say:

Greg Inglis ‏@greg_inglis Great day at training..sitting at home wondering what to have for dinner....????!!!

GI, if you keep your current form up, Saturday night you'll be having a lovely bulldog roast for dinner.

"great day" at training. He's got more potential than any player going around this generation, he's broken an all time origin record at age 25 and this year is the first time since 2007-2009 that he's on his way to maximizing his potential. And the reason for the success? "great days" at training.

Meninga, Lockyer and Slater among others have said they've never seen him more focused, fit, committed and dedicated than he is now. He's comfortable and settled in his personal life (he put up a pic on twitter of him kissing his wife at the place they got engaged), he is happy at our club both with how things are going on field as well as off field (he's one of the keenest at the club to participate in Souths Cares events at every oppurtunity).

GI to lead us to a tough narrow win.

Also he should be playing fullback for Queensland. If he was at fullback the game would have been decide before "that" try (NSW was only in it off the back of a Slater f**k up).

 

[Ziggy the God]

Please, I know you are excited about this game like all of us, but do you think that is over the top?

 

[MatthewA]

I don't think it's a legit account tbh. Surely it can't be. The BunniesMan account has been made up by the powers to be at LeagueUnlimited to create and stir and get everyone talking.

That's my theory anyway...
