Luck will play in this game depends on how each side will show their hand.
Being it a GF,it will be the usual bash and barge similar to the Dogs V Panthers match.A slugging one-out blow for blow contest that will surely open up the second half.
Of course after the ensuing fallout settles between the two packs of forwards,we will then have a try-fest which will whet the appetite for the neutrals,whilst the fans of both sides collectively will be entranced in what will only be described as a wide-eyed nervous breakdown on steroids.
But for me,after a considerable amount of thought,the conclusion I come up with is to consider this game as similar to a comp match,and I simply can't go past Souths in getting this win.
Canterbury,as solid in defense last week,where also blessed by some poor attacking options from Penrith.
Souths in this regard will have more up their sleeve than David Copperfield at a magician's convention.
Whilst the Panthers only had limited attacking options from mostly one side of the field,Souths have all attacking options from anywhere in the open.And it's this area that I can't see the Dogs stopping Souths as it will be relentless.
Whilst I would love to see a contest that would involve a field-goal in extra time,I'm afraid we will be spared that luxury.
Souths will bot only win this game,they will win it in a memorable fashon that will be looked back throughout the ages.
So,to the victor,the spoils will go.To the vanquish,solemn defeat followed by the anguished feeling of failure will linger on...until next time.
Oh,and it's Souths by 40+.
