Luke and Inglis returning will obviously be a big boost. Not so sure about Asotasi.
Asotasi > Ben Lowe & Dave Tyrrell

He's no superstar anymore but when you consider he'll come in to replace whoever Maguire decides is our worst forward, that's a huge step up.Luke and Inglis returning will obviously be a big boost. Not so sure about Asotasi.
And I think with souths it's the same as the doggies been great over the season but in finals they're a relatively new side to the finals in terms of their playing group bar a few players.
Teams like Melbourne and manly will be both dogs and souths big tests of they come up against them in the finals
Our record against the Dogs is 1-1 and should be 2-0 if Farrell kept his toes up. We lost our 1 game against Melbourne in round 2. We've beaten the Sharks and Cowboys comfortably. We got done twice by the Broncos and fair play to that. They seem to have our measure, but our second game against them was our worst performance of the season. We didn't give ourselves a chance. We'll get a good indication of where we are at on Friday, but our record against the current top 6 is 3-2 so I would have thought we'd proven a fair bit to be second at round 23.
To all the butthurt souths fans. Dylan farrell did not have a god given right to score that try. Try saving is part o Ben barba's game and that is what happened.
If you want to use that as an excuse then also look at an out of the ordinary missed tackle that allowed burgess to stroll through.
All part of the game. Souths lost. Not could should would have about it.
Either way dogs strolled down the other end and scored again.
Nothing certain!!
The penalty count was 5-1 against us ffs. We were not 5 times less disciplined than them.Souths are winning without Inglis and Luke,so they are the real deal,but geez they have had a dream run with the refs and video refs this year,even their coach is now worried about karma,and so he should.
Yes you lost the penalty count,but the refs allowed Merrit to stay on the field(should have been binned),allowed a try of a knock on to Souths while denying a try to the Titans all while the game was in the balance,so yes you got the best of the calls,and not for the first time this year.The penalty count was 5-1 against us ffs. We were not 5 times less disciplined than them.
We've won a number of games while on the wrong side of the penalty count.
So to suggest it's the refs giving us a leg up is completely wrong.
St. George-Illawarra in 2009 and Penrith in 2010 are the counterpoint to what you're saying. Neither of them fluked a high position, but they were both shown up when the shit got real.
