Name YOUR whole team without players that have played 1st grade for another club... Patten,Millard, Holdsworth-Dragons, Mason-Mariners, Ryan-Parra, Cleal-Souths, Manly to name a few. yes alot of the players have been bred through the Dogs program but not all of them.:roll:
But we'll just see how you go in the future now that mark hughes the man who basically recruited the whole dogs side is now at Souths!
And Rabbitohs 2005 if you do a comparitve line up do it with some sense. Teams play left and right side.
Left side Souths... Merritt/Hegs/Joey/Fa'alogo(Sutton) VS Right Side Dogs... ElMasri/Millard/Holdsworth/SBW(Maitua) [Sutton and Maitua both roam but find themselves on this side the most]
Right Side Souths... Mellor/Vagana/Smith/Kidwell VS Left Side Dogs...Cutler/Tonga/Roberts/Ryan
The Middle... Irvine/Roy/Yak/Peachey VS Hughes/Mason/Armit/Patten
The Bench... Geddes/Widders/Stuart/Rigon Vs Cleal/Hickey/Kousparitas/McIlwain.
It is interesting to see that the Dogs have gone for ana ll forward bench whereas Souths have Rigon (who will be used as a second Hooker) and widders (who will be used out on the fringes). I personally think the clash will be close and the bench for Souths provides some spark whereas the Dogs doesn't.
anyways I can't wait...just 6 1/2 hours left!!
