Souths have an amazing record at CBUS. Have won 9 of 10 matches there. Mind blowing really.

Also interesting and odd to see that the last 5 times these teams have met have all been home games for the Titans which Souths have won. What happened to the days when home games would alternate?

I'm not complaining though. Maybe Souths themselves have requested for all our games against the Titans to be at their home ground. Haven't had decent crowd figures attending Souths home games against the Tits in the past.

Weird stat though.

Really like the way the Titans’ attack matches up against Souths’ defence here. The Titans’ wingers will hug the sidelines using the full width of the field. Souths use a compressed defence to muscle up but it’s not hard to get outside this compressed defence. The Bulldogs did this earlier in the season against Souths in the weather interrupted match and scored 3 tries in quick succession .

Latrell will have to light it up for Souths to have a chance. The Titans get nervous when they hit the lead though and stop playing football.

Pencil in KP for a double. Meat pies to DeGroot , Kelly and JoJo Fifita.

Titans by 10

Chris Randall for anytime tryscorer as well. Filled in at dummy half last week but is a strong edge runner. Form has been very good .

Jamie Humphreys back at 7. Ashton Ward at 6. Lewis Dodd dropped out of the 22 completely.

$700k a season. Nice one, Mark Ellison.

His salary is a problem for sure.

But Creepings demented stubborn refusal to use him in an injury crisis like this is actually insane. He's not a bad player by any means and his salary doesn't change in NSW Cup. Just absolutely mental.

I hope another NRL club gives him a shot. I'm not sure he's ever going to be more than solid but he deserves credit for not just throwing in the towel and f**king off home, which seems to be the only thing Wayne wants from him

Dodd has a decent kick on him and that's about it. But as for a running and creating game, Ward has impressed me more than Dodd all season in trials, reggies as well as 1sts the last 2 weeks. With Humphreys back to do the kicking, we need creativity from our number 6, not plod.

Nice to watch the two worst teams in the comp play as a neutral fan for the first time in a long time. Last time I experienced this Cleary was still searching for his first premiership.

Latrell at centre is the smartest thing he has done all year.

Shame he didn't do it earlier. Souths looked better when Gray was leading the kick return metres.
