Round 2 V Rabbitohs

Is this new?

I’ve never heard of it before. Could be a good ploy for bringing players back into first grade, may would probably benefit from it if he gets the 10 - 15 minuets role we seem to have off our bench.

Cleary and Maloney are going to murder them with the kicking now.

I loathe to make such predictions before games like this: Trail against Dogs anyone. Souths will be fired up after loosing to the cellar dwellers Warriors.

Souths will be a tough game. There fans travel. It will not be easy. I believe there is no such thing as an easy game in the NRL.

 

[kinghippo]

Wobbie at 7 please

That would be great.
Reynolds is a mess, he hasn’t had a good chunk of time on the field for quite a few years.
Another bloody team who will be eyeing off Cleary no doubt

I don't think it'll be easy at all. They have the better forward pack and Cook in the 9 worries me.

Our kicking game should be the better on the night though with Reynolds out.

 

[tripster]

I haven’t been paying attention to his form, but his kicking game is what they’ll miss I would’ve thought.

Totally agree. It was his kicking game in particular that killed us in the game last year when we were flogged by them.

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Adam Doueihi might be the halfback. A lot more dangerous in the halves than Farah.

4 years ago maybe.

That's what everyone is saying. Should be interesting.

Well they should if they aim up. A lot of talent there. See which souths pack turns up.

I have a full strength Souths at 12th. So without Reynolds they are terrible but for the players these are always difficult games especially early on

Souths weren't much last year but they got us twice.
First month usually throws up a few curve balls with results. As teams take there time to built up match fitness and get there attack into sync.
It was very hot on Sunday and I wonder how much of that will take it out of the boys come Saturday. Souths they have coming back from Perth to contend with. Different match but the Doggies looked knackered flying back on Sunday.

 

[MrBlack]

Parra have a soft pack and we dominated them easily. We seem to struggle with bigger aggressive packs, which is why Souths have been a boggey team for a few years now.

This will be a good test.

They are our boogey team for sure and like you said before round 5 results are always up and down. A big game to see if we are switched on this year

This is where if JFH and Kikau hopefully kick on and back up last week's good performances

Plus I wouldn't be surprised if the media tried to rev GI up for a big one. A few gibes yesterday about his round 1 performance.
Crichton, Cook, Gagai and Cody Walker are the ones to watch out for.

 

[mxlegend99]

If we turn up for 80 minutes. I think we can go close to putting 50 on them.

ACL injury. It wasn't just an excuse I used to defend Whare. He won't find his best this season

 

[franklin2323]

I didn’t realise players named on the bench are aloud to play in the reserves as well, leiula did it for the dragons to get extra minutes. That could be a good option to help CHN get up to speed.

Yet we only let Katoa play 40 in NSW Cup to warm up as 18th man..Besides leave us with no one on the bench was just dumb

To be fair I can't remember many games last year we turned up for 80 minutes.
We don't want to play like the Roosters last week. Cocky and lazy expecting to win. Otherwise Souths will do what the Tigers did.

Behind a well beaten forward pack on debut he will be screwed

I agree he won't find his best this year but I think he will have his moments.
