Yeah I'd much prefer Cole in that 14 role or Toelau when Nath is out. We need some sort of plan B in attack if three second rate play makers (Schneider/Edwards/Kenny) & a rookie isn't working for us. Toelau and Cole are the only guys in the squad that can offer that.

Either way if the pack plays at 80% of its levels the last month we will be fine. Fingers crossed To'o is actually right and we'll have a long turnaround into the Tigers game at close to full strength.

I dont mind it tbh, bunnies fairly decimated. This might be our best chance to rest Yeo. Wouldve liked to see Biz left out also tbh. Wish we would give Cole a shot at 14 with Yeo out, No sommo to play hooker if we want to move Kenny.
I would have parked Bizza as well, rest this week again and then another 9 days to give that knee a bit more time.

Wins against both the Dogs and Wahs have bought us a little breathing space.

A loss this week wont hurt too much. Resting Yeo and Cleary is probably opportunistic based on our recent wins.

In saying that, the team we have named should be good enough to win.


Mr Black I totally agree. A win would be wonderful, but we are still in the 8 even with a loss.

It was important (in fact very important) to give Yeo and Cleary a week off.

I do like the way the squad is building ATM.

Definitely a trouble game. If we play our best we should get it done but we will struggle for points i think without nath and yeo.

Did okay against the Warriors. Much better attack than I expected.

I think we will need 4 tries to beat Souths. Maybe more if we are off the radar with goal kicking. Daine or Sommerton need to spend time on the field.

4 tries might be a pipe dream with Schneider at 7.

If we get away with two points while Nath, Yeo, Martin and Tago all have a week off it would have to go down as a masterstroke by the coaching staff. We've been incredible at ensuring we have the right amount of juice at the right time, and giving such a significant chunk of the squad time to recuperate right now could be invaluable.

Its obviously not a game we want to drop, but given we have a bit of luxury on the table and are against a Bunnies team at or around rock bottom I can understand wanting to take the opportunity.

respectfully to Tago - the back 5 excite me - Jenkins, To'o & Alamoti making tough carries from our own end - and giving Casey early ball in attack will be good

If Casey & Blaise can have blinders - we win very handsomely IMO

1st half kick early and keep working them over - Souths always vulnerable this way - just hope the halves can make Latrell turn around and chase the ball

I agree. I almost feel like you're better resting players later when play say Storm or Raiders away. High chance will lose anyhows. This is a huge risk for me. Tago is suspended also. 3 class players.
It helps now Latrell is out.
