[Rabbits20]

Amazing, you have the best sources R20!

Cheers mate. I like to keep my eye out!

I think with Richie out Hymel will go to right centre which is good as he's strong defensively.

Whilst you will be in a hospital bed and maybe on morphine out of it I'm sure you'll find a way to mumble to a loved one something about the Souths match hahaha like did we win?? I don't know if they'll wanna tell you though for your health.... I bloody hope they get up for us but more importantly for you!!!

I'll be at work but my sister will send me the score and if we win Itsa you'll be the first guy I think of also along with Callmack who's battling currently. Can't say what with though, that's his call to make! I'm praying for both you lads!

My family also needs prayer currently @southsport. A lot been happening!

We could all do with a a Bunnies triumph!!

AMEN BROTHER BUNNY

Really looking forward to this game, especially after the week I'm having. Let's hope we can jag a win.

Based on that training gallery, Graham will be in.

Not good bro. Been missing too many tackles at Norths plus making 3-4 errors a game. He's not ready yet and his defence is a worry.

Containing PONGA for 80 mins looks like a huge task!!

He's a star & a big threat.

BTW,two of my g/kids will be in the "run-out" tunnel on Fri, night at the Panthers/Cowboys game in BATHURST-----my 10 yr old G/daughter & my Great g/son[10 yrs!!]--both indigenous kids!

They are easy to spot--they are the really good-looking ones-----exciting for them--they'll hold a Panthers player's hand,I suppose!

Still make sure the Bunnies are their team mate.

Just got my members email and yep it's Campbell who is playing!

I would've had Hunt there to stiffen up the defence!

It seems we are turning Hunt into a back rower though.

 

[Travitoh]

The best way to contain Ponga will be to keep the footy out of his hands.
Play for repeat sets and put their young spine under pressure with limited ball. Newcastle are still suspect in defence themselves. Only Manly and Gold Coast have conceded more.

As I said earlier, we need to go hard at them through the middle and have Cook jumping out of dummy half at every sniff of a chance. The best way to blunt Ponga will be to have him trying to chase down mini breaks all night.

Plus, if we kick to him, it needs to be with plenty of height and a good chase so our forwards have time to get there as he catches the ball and belt him every time. If you can't kick under those circumstances then you need to kick to touch or at least to the wingers.

We know he's hard to catch but he's only a little fella and every time you do catch him, he needs to know he's been caught.

In general field, I reckon we should always look to kick to SKD. Has at least two errors per game in him.

 

[Itsamansgame]

I've just seen that Campbell Graham has been chosen,wish I hadn't as my usually high blood pressure has been normal for awhile,just had another reading it's high again.
Can anyone give me 2 valid reasons why he should on ability be picked over Hunt?

 

[Itsamansgame]

And as for Ponga,yep hit him with everything and make him chase his head gear around the field all match!

I think Hunt is at norths in training for the second-row.

 

[Dogmatix]

it's not not just Ponga that Souths have to contain. Watson is dangerous as well. Newcastle deserve their spot on the ladder

 

[CliveC]

If Seibs picks Campbell on the wing outside of Gags Seibs has lost the plot!

It's like Maguire would do?

I don't expect Seibs to move Gagai from right centre.

Not sure myself but there are some that are expecting Souths to run up a big score in this match.

Hunt's playing second row these days.

If we picked Burns ahead of him, why wouldn't we play Graham?

Don't encourage him mate.
