Our back 5 will be Jye Gray, Bailey Bentley-Hape, Isaiah Tass, Campbell Graham and Fletcher Myers.

I mean Campbell Graham is good but I'll be astounded if you don't care us up on the edges.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Backing Souffs in. Bennett has still got it, knows how to get a team of nuffies to believe in themselves like no other.

I thought the Dolphins would give Souths a bit of a touch up last week but it never happened.
I know Souths record at WIN is poor but they know the games of Cook and Ilias inside out. The video session they would have done on Saints will show some glaring weaknesses in the middle and Wayne will have the gameplan exploit it.
This is nowhere near as cut and dry as people are expecting it to be.

If you can't beat a Souths team that came 16th last year and is missing Cam Murray, Latrell Mitchell, Jack Wighton, Alex Johnston, Euan Aitken, Ty Munro, etc etc.... yikes. I think you'll get us easy.

 

[Fangs]

Another untimely suspension with Wighton out along with a host of other outside backs.

The Dogs and Dragons scored the majority of their tries on the edge last week. I'd expect points there for the Dragons again but perhaps not for Souths with all their strike power on the sideline. No rain either so the points will come.

Big history between the two clubs and the Rabbits have Bennett. Those things matter. But I still think the Dragons get home.
