Souths to get this one.

Warriors position way inflated IMO and Souths will grind it out.

This is a tight one to tip but I, of course, would like to think similarly.

Wahs will get both their props back (if Barnett gets through Origin ok) but Souths have looked much better with a more mobile and agile forward pack since Wayne did a bit of rejigging and could frustrate the Wahs similar to how the Raiders did. They didn't really have a plan B to break down the Raiders defence once they fell behind while the Raiders went straight through the front door with speed of play, offloads and support play for their tries. Wayne won't have missed that.

 

[speedster]

Souths haven't been able to win more than 2 in a row so far this year. This is the 3rd time we will be gunning for 3 on the trot. 3rd time lucky?

 

[isaiah]

Latrell either doesn't play or goes missing like that finals game a few years ago v panthers

Speaking of going missing, why are you here and not in the Manly v Donkey thread?

 

[BunniesMan]

Game of the round. We win and all of a sudden we are knocking on the door of the top 4.

The Warriors, they have been in the comp 30 years now and you still never know what you'll get from them. Like a box of chocolates. They can be razzle dazzle but they have never won a comp for a reason. You just always get the feeling with them that they have the talent but they don't have the heart for a tough fight.

We have shown this year we do know how to fight. We have shown heart all year. I back us to win this.

Two very different opinions there.

 

[speedster]

Big litmus test for Souths. Haven't beaten a top 4 side yet this season. We've shown great fight as Bunnies Man says but can we step up into a heavier weight division?

Wahs are real contenders this year but away from home, they are gettable.

 

[speedster]

And looking at all the players Penrith have lost the last few years, the one that has really cost them has been the Fish. He is the alpha prop that Penrith has not been able to replace and has the Wahs instantly up in contenders territory again. He makes the rest of their pack follow in his footsteps.

Big challenge for the Bunnies revamped pack to match the Warriors forward dominance.

 

[Warrimoo3]

The bunker could decide this. I’ll have to ask Des who’s in the bunker .

 

[yobbo84]

Warriors are full strength, yeah? Watching them warm up... gees to a man they are a big big side. On a dry track, this could get ugly. Warriors by plenty.

 

[typicalfan]

Unders is the bet in this one. Warriors by 1. 19-18.

 

[Meth]

Warriors are full strength, yeah?

Would like to have Leiataua out there.

 

[Wb1234]

His foot didn’t touch it anyway what a dumb challenge

 

[Meth]

His foot didn’t touch it anyway what a dumb challenge

Didn't turn out too bad in the end

 

[Wb1234]

Nice try dwz

 

[speedster]

Rolling through the rucks too easily. Kick to corner - try. Too easy.

 

[Wb1234]

Jeeze maybe he dropped that lol
