[DinkyDi]

Next week we either play the Rabbitohs, likely, or the Sea Eagles. This article highlights our "health check" for our team.

I like your fluffy steering wheel.

If things pan out the way I think they will then we will have to go through the Rabbits, Sea Eagles and Storm to win the big one.

souths week 1 baby let’s get it

Be interesting to see if Melbourne play Friday. If they lose us winning next week is less of a priority.

I still prefer we win but would rather play the storm in a GF than prelim.

Munster, and Ado-Carr, are apparently injured.

3 games left baby. We are a way better side this year if we can get something going on the right edge

 

[John Hamblin]

One area where we have a huge advantage over the Storm is Nathan's kicking game, game management and goalkicking. Could get us over the line in a close GF.

Was any of our players put on report last night?

Eels forward Keegan Hipgrave is facing a ban of one or two matches after being charged with a careless high tackle on Penrith's James Fisher-Harris.

Hipgrave is facing a suspension over the tackle from the 10th minute of Friday night's loss to the Panthers. He will miss the first week of the finals if he enters an early guilty plea and would risk a two-match ban if he unsuccessfully fights the charge at the judiciary.

Sweet no Panther players. Thanks.

Only problem injury wise is Sorenson with a dislocated wrist. Cleary said in the presser that they couldn't pop it back in, so he could be in hospital.

I think Sorenson's season is done, to be honest. His injury looked awful, and it appeared he was in agony.

 

[The_Frog]

This explains the injury. 3-12 weeks depending on severity, so he could be back this season.

Glad we arent at suncorp. Its in shocking shape atm.

I used to think it was only us or the Storm who could win it, but I would chuck Manly in there now. They make a lot of mistakes, but they are the best attacking side of the three at the moment. We need to win it on defense and building pressure because our attack is functional at best. Should be a good series.

We attack through our mobility, ball skills and stamina to tire out the opposition and exploit win it when fatigue kicks in. The flipside of that is in the the first 20 before fatigue kicks in we can get outmuscled up the middle. Manly are a big pack they have it in them to do that.

Glad we arent at suncorp. Its in shocking shape atm.

Got a Union double header next week too.
