[I Bleed Maroon]

I've tipped Rabbits but Eels will be desperate for a win.

 

[natheel]

Back at home

Hopoate
Sio
Hayne
Edwards
Mannah (possibly)

All likely to be back

We will want to save face after that terrible performance in NZ

Will be close

 

[rabbitohs95]

Both teams are going to be firing after a couple disappointing losses.

It'll be interesting if we get off to a good start and maintain it, i think we've done that for maybe 2 or 3 games this year, not all our wins though.

Hopefully our forwards just roll on through and we contain Hayne. That should be the key to victory here.

Souths 1-13

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Jarryd Hayne > Greg Inglis

 

[AnfieldIron]

Jarryd Hayne > Greg Inglis

On current form, agreed.

 

[rabbitohs95]

On current form, agreed.

I'd have to second that.

GI needs a big game, last good game he had i can remember was against the Broncos in Round 8...

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Greg Inglis was swatting people away like flies in Origin 3,if he turn's up like that again Souths will be hard to stop.

 

[Swarzey]

If Parra have the likes of Hayne, Hoppa, Sio, Mannah etc back, then them easily.

Not even GI could have saved Souths' performance against the Titans...well maybe but it would have been a scrappy game. I think with Origin finished he'll return to form, but it isn't going to stop the usual duds from killing momentum.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Mannah,Hoppa and Sio are not playing.

 

[natheel]

Mannah,Hoppa and Sio are not playing.

Sio at wenty but the other 2 could be late inclusions. Would help

 

[rabbitohs95]

Sio at wenty but the other 2 could be late inclusions. Would help

Is Sio out of form or recovering from injury?

Would definitely have him at Souths next year.

 

[kia ora storm]

Parra by 16..

 

[BunniesMan]

Finally the origin period is over. This is where the season begins. We're be ready to make our charge for September. Feeling more confident than I have in a while. The rest has come at a good time for us.

We're recharged, refreshed and ready to rock and roll.

 

[natheel]

Is Sio out of form or recovering from injury?

Would definitely have him at Souths next year.

He was out due to injury but he's wentys fullback this week and with Toutai re-signed for next year I'd say Arthur may be considering letting Sio go. Last I heard he was close to staying but I wouldn't be surprised if a few clubs go for him. He's a very good winger. A bit like Merritt. Very reliable

On the other hand the Eels are injured, tired, haven't won in a month, and just got pumped by 48.

If the Rabbitohs can't win this one, they might as well not play the rest of the season.

They don't play in September/October anyway

Then again, neither have the Eels lately

 

[Vic Mackey]

Sio is shit, no loss at all. The other two are huge losses though. Isnt dylan walker back for souths, is he injured again? Big loss if so.

Would love to say parra but think souths will be too strong in a close one

Walker was back two weeks ago against the Titans

We have a full strength lineup barring Chris McQueen and Ben Te'o who should both return next week.

McQueen is another 3 weeks away.

I think we'll win tonight on the back of a big GI performance. We've had 2 weeks to work on the Keary-Reynolds-Sutton triumvirate. Hopefully it starts to bear a bit of fruit.
