Round 23 - Panthers vs Rabbitohs: Friday 20th August 8:05pm @Suncorp Stadium

So, who were you missing in Dubbo?

Murray was a big one. Huge in fact.

Plus we had an under done Latrell, Cody with his first game back at 5/8 in four weeks, Su'A on the right edge with Arrow on the bench and guys like Liam Knight were on the bench.

Now I'm not using that as an excuse. We were awful that day and you guys were far too good. However, these are contributing factors.

Very, very happy with that!!! How can you not be?! Such a strong side, full strength and easily our best this year. I can't help but crack a smile when I read through the team list. AJ, Gags, Cammy, and Hame all returning! How good?! Also, although I didn't predict it, I'm quite happy to see Sauce named on the right wing. He's been in great form and has a score to settle against his old club.

Such a strong team.... God, bring on Friday!!!

I like it.
Still, we could have used Jaydn "the Hitman" Su'a as cannon fodder to break bones, but what will be, will be.

Apparently Phil Gould said on 100% footy that Souths can't win the premiership.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Given how wrong he is about so many things, I would be more concerned if he said he thought we could win.

Whether it's true or not, nobody outside the team will know, but I also think that this was at the height of the "Adam is leaving, how could they do this to him?" discussion going on in the background (and foreground)

Now that this is all done and dusted, they've settled and re-focused, there are no more excuses.

Bro Knight was starting lock that day.

Sele and Gagai massive in’s too.

This is our strongest 17 mate there can be no excuses.

I think we will be right up for it.

His defence has been very shaky this year mate.

If I am being honest Host has been the better of the 2 defensively.

Don't get me wrong, I would definitely be having Host in my team over Su'a, love what Host has brought to Souths so far.

Just wanted Su'a to sacrifice himself for the team and go out and test The Chin's shoulder

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

I guess we will find out on Friday.
Its our test to see where we are.
I do have a good feeling though!!

Looking forward to the games Bunnies fans; hopefully it’s a good one and no injuries.
