In total, the Rabbitohs have just a 33 per cent winning record without Reynolds at five wins and 10 losses, while they have won 63 per cent of matches that he has played since his debut in 2012.
If we complete well we have a good chance.

We still have very good strike with GI, Cody, Farah, Cook, Sam, Sutton etc.....

when wests beat souths in round 9 we were already missing woods, then lost mitch moses in the warm up and tedesco at halftime. we still beat a full strength souths line up after we'd lost 6 games in a row.

reynolds is a huge loss and it does make souths job a lot harder, however injuries happen and you have a squad for a reason. its rare these days you'll have your full squad for a game. other players need to step up in his abscence and macguire needs a game plan that will suit a reynoldsless souths.

Despite Souffs talent they are the one team Tigers always aim up and put a complete 80 minute performance in.

Against Robbie Farah I have no doubt the motivation will be there strongly once again.

I reckon we'll win pretty easy tbh

Getting all cocky hey!!!!!!!!!

Madge will probably take the conservative smart choice and play Sutton at 6 with Cody to half.

GI and Sam are dangerous.

If our big guys run at Brooks and Moses that'll create chances as will Farah out of dummy half and the speed of Cook.

We can also test Suli under the high ball and Naiqama isn't strong defensively.

We have it over you guys in the hooker position.

If we complete well we will be in with a good shot.

Mind you if Cecchin is ref God help us.

well wests have beaten souths 4 of the past 5 times theyve played by an average of 16 points. the expansive game we play with quick outside backs obviously works against souths. souths are now missing their most
influential player so i can see why tigers fans would be very confident.

i agree with all the points you make (except the last one), if GI and Sam play at their best they'll probably be the best 2 players on the park and could nearly win the game on their own. brooks and moses have huge defensive issues and our right defence is a farce, souths havent been able to capitalise on these the last 5 times we've played though.

as for your Cecchin phobia its been proven souths have a good record under him, it does make for hilarious reading though so keep it up!

Most of those times we've played you Cecchin is ref too and has been awful.

I just hope he's not the ref. Or Maxwell for that fact, he's worse.

Cmon Tigers give us a good lol@souffs to begin the year with

Something like a 50+ win plus a mega-meltdown from R20 would be lovely. Thanks.

p.s. Robbie the Carrot motm for the Tigers.

.

Thats true, when we beat you 34-6 Goodwins try was off an obstruction play. The NRL came out and said the video ref got it wrong and it should been a Tigers penalty. Luckily we overcame that atrocity and went on to win. Appreciate you being honest though.

Souths.

Tigers have no credible dummy half, Brooks may or may not play, Moses is coming off a pre season injury and will probably play gingerly. All that leaves is Tedesco as their attacking weapon.
