Inglis and Sutton back in the side, Watmong out, Souffs should get up but I wouldn't be surprised if they flunk it.
 

big hit!

The South Sydney Travellers to be freshening up from their most recent high volume training stimulii and improving again for this one IMO. It's all about working up to a peak for September now.

Madge will be imploring the 17 to get the basics right through. Switched on in the prep, safe and solid in the early exchanges, and expect to dominate in the middle once twins come on.

The mighty Eagles by 1 to 6 points.

Should be a belter of a game. The Eagles love playing at Blue Tongue so that is a big plus for us.

Manly with something to prove here given the lack of wins against top 4 teams (although all of those games have been high class and even contests).

Today, our run home into the finals begins. The best player in the world is back. GI to lead us to a narrow win in a close tough contest.

Souths by 4.
A need to win and a must win for Souths

Rabbitohs by 4
I don't think you know the meaning of "must win". In what universe is it "must win" when you will be no worse than 2nd after a loss?

Manly by a late try to the Wolfman. I think Souths will show up this game and keep it close but Manly are a team that can really create something out of nothing and Souths seem a lot more structured in their attack, which is a good thing compared to years past but ultimately Manly have a lot more options, as long as their defence turns up.

Also depends on how well Inglis bounces back.

Manly - and DCE in particular - seem to turn it on at Gosford from memory (i could be wrong).

Sea Eagles 24
Rabbits 20

Cameron Smith was playing last week and shat all over your side. How can you forget so easily?

Even if you lose tonight you may well still be 2nd but where you are on the ladder at the end of this round means sweet f**k all as opposed to where you be come the end of Rd 26.

If you lose tonight and also to the Roosters (which is a real possibility) and the Storm win their remaining games then the Storm will finish 2nd and you'll miss your week 1 home final. OR if you lose tonight and to the Roosters and Manly win their remaining games then again they'll finish 2nd and you miss your week 1 home final.

Given there's a week 1 home final on the line and a win is crucial to getting that, in what f**ked up universe do you live in where this game is not a must win?

Do you understand basic maths? We can lose this and still have 2nd place completely in our destiny. That is not must win. If that is must win almost every game for almost every team is must win.

It's a pity the dipshits at Channel Nein have scheduled the cripple battle between the Geldings and the Eels as the live game tonight in Queensland.

The blockbuster match between the Rabbits and Sea Eagles has been relegated to the commercial infested second game when it should be the first game!

Channel Nein and the NRL must think that every league fan in Queensland supports the Geldings. Yeah, sure! They conveniently forget that many fans supported a Sydney based team before they came along and still support that team.

Anyway, Manly by 6 at the maximum.
