The Bunnies love playing at Mudgee. For that matter they love playing at Jubilee as well. Will we be able to beat them ever again?

“During February” is a little vague but locked in all the same!

Well Cookie will finally find out what it’s like to lose one

I have Souths mates they pissed the way the club sends games away every season.
It's all about profits for the owner Rusty why charity shield games are up to Souths to make the decision .

They don’t. It is their turn to be home team?

Last year's Charity Shield was such a deflating event.. the team really struggled to put anything together and then capitulated. Thankfully they looked much much better the following week against the Tigers (in Mudgee). Fingers crossed our second trial is the better of the two again this season because the Bunnies have had a mortgage on the shield in recent times. I know we used to joke about this game being Souths grand final.. but... I kinda miss winning it. Would be nice.

So many combinations to try to settle. I want Ilias and KF to get long minutes.

Yep 3 of the 4 spine players are new - no other NRL club has had such a transformation to the spine this year. Big opportunity but a big challenge too

 

[Slippery Morris]

Cookie and Illias will surely be pumped to snag a win over their old club.

New halves combo
Cook/Liddle rotation
Wing situation
Val Holmes
Gutho getting up them
First look at Guler
Maybe first look at big Loko and some of the other kids
Couchman boys a year older and more mature

So many things to look forward to. Can’t wait.

I'm tipping the Left-wing position will become the most competitive and the the biggest talking point by our fans.

Mate I think Tuipolotu has the mortgage on the left wing, at least to begin with. Zac Lomax's vacated right wing is the contentious one. Matt Feagai apparently did well there yesterday

The smoky I reckon is Allan.

The smoky I reckon is Allan.

Saw on his interview he’s looking to get some NSW cup games into him first. Probably Lawson would be the same so counts them both out at the start of the season.

Start of the season would have to be between Tuipulotu, Ravalawa, Sloan, Feagai and Finau for the two spots.

My guess is Tui and either Sloan or Feagai, but we'll see how the boys go in the trials.

The Charity Shield always has a nice touch of nostalgia for me, and for perhaps the Gen X/Millennial generation. It once signalled the start of footy season... before the manufactured pre-season challenge, the Nines, even the Sevens etc. It was a biggish event. Let's win it again, shall we? Just like in the old days

Used to love it when the Rampling brothers, Mario Fenech, Les Davidson, Boyle, Graeme Wynn, Stoney, Jarvis, Young and Reddy all played in the CS. It was on for young and old and no place for the faint hearted. One year there was about 25k at the SFS. It’s still hyped up, but in reality it’s a bit lame now in comparison.
