Really looking forward to this one on Saturday. I'll be really interested to see how the boys re-bound after the loss. There's no doubt we were off last week and have a bit to work on.

Yep all those little things.

Even in our wins the against Titans, Eels, Cows and Dogs we have been patchy at times there. Now we really need to build again and put our foot down!

Seibs needs to improve how he uses his bench

Last week Souths had no possession early. Their best hope to turn the tide was impact off the bench. Instead Seibs hardly used his bench players and in fact his bench players played almost half as many minutes as the Tigers bench players. Seibs needs to realise it is a 17 man game these days not a 13 man game

Central to the bench problem is Seib's use of Doueihi. Seibs is currently using Doueihi as an insurance policy against injury to the backline. But most games there is no injury to the backline so Doueihi spends almost the entire game on the bench. Seibs needs to decide if Doueihi is one of his best 17 or not. If he is one of the best 17 then he needs to use him for impact off the bench for at least 20 minutes a game. Giving Doueihi token time in the last 10 minutes is a waste of a bench player

Clark is not a bench player as he has no impact. He is either an 80 minute player or out of the team

Murray is also more of an 80 minute player than a bench player. Perhaps Seibs should shuffle round his backrow so that Murray plays 13 for 80 minutes while Crichton comes off the bench for impact

I don't mind the forward rotation atm but I do agree, it needs to be used better. I'd be giving Tatola especially more minutes as he provides great impact when he comes on, he's just not used enough imo.

I know he wouldn't be doing any contact yet, but it's good to see GI out there with no strapping on that thumb.

Sam won't be moving away from the middle! He'd have to go to prop and George to the bench!

We need to be careful bro.

The Parra backline actually is strong with Gutherson at the back and Hayne and French on the wings plus Jennings at centre.

Moses and Norman whilst so down on form can be dangerous as we know!

Alvaro is a tackling machine plus Brown just never stops making hit ups!

They still have some very solid forwards there. This actually has the potential to be a tough match... I think we will get there but it may not be as clear cut easy as what some reckon...
