Hoy to 5/8 surely, AOB been here before, let the kid have no media pressure and build up properly

 

[EdLondon]

Randall in Mann to the bench?

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Toohey just said Hoy won't be starting

Hoy possibly off the bench to add some spark but he won't start.

Bradman won’t get too many runs today.

Massive changes alright

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

I was hoping to see Lino take some control. I hope Ponga is up on his goal kicking. More pressure on Pearce and Ponga to perform.

 

[Zoidberg]

Good team. Like having Randall at 9 and hopefully Mann at 6 will improve our defence.
Getting nervy.
Really Hope goal kicking doesn’t effect us.

Lino wasn't the half that was missing all the tackles.....

I get that but he would still be a target.

We all know Mann's weaknesses and can identify he's not the best 5/8th, but let's not forget he's been one of our best this year, I think he's going to do some good things today and I'm backing Best to have a good game.

I do feel for Lino a bit, but I think this is the best possible team we have right now.

I like Eseese starting to show we want to come out hard and then have Guerra come on and be a tackling machine.

Excitement is growing!

Expecting big performances from Klemmer, DSaf, Ponga and Best.

 

[Tom155]

I just want Best to see quality ball today ffs

Anyone seriously think we are in this? I'm expecting to lose by 30+

From an "anything can happen" perspective I think anyone is a chance in a finals match. The only tangible reason I can think of that we might have a shot is that Souths have been just as inconsistent as we have. What I will say though is Souths at their best last week was miles ahead of anything we've produced this year.

I expect disappointment today, but stranger things have happened.

Less than 30. Around a couple of tries. But it is finals.....so it could be more than 30.

A week ago this is all I was expecting.

But let's look at our losses this year, they've all been due to poor attitude, really.

Surely today knowing there is no tomorrow they will turn up and put in. I hope today comes down to skill rather than attitude, or god forbid, a shit ref performance.

I'm pretty optimistic right now.

Knights to win 16-14.

We are going to win this game...I hope
