Cronulla were hardly pedestrian the other night... but having said that, Souths put them away comfortably. It was a hard one to gauge them on to be honest, Cronulla can be fascinating at moments then utterly woeful the next. The real test will come Friday and over the following weeks, but the signs are good out Redfern way IMO.
Unfortunately for you Danish, things are absolutely terrible out Bondi way, no matter how you slice it. Something's gotta give.
And yet we are only a 2 points behind you...
There are very few things needed to be changed at the roosters to get them back on track. Its just a case of whethe the club has the guts to do it that is the problem. Having a just 1 playmaker with some attacking flair would have seen off Manly and tested the bunnies, and he is already in at the club...
Drop Aubusson and Paea from the bench, bring in Soward and Stranger/Ndaira, Soward to 5/8, Anasta to Lock, Plum to the bench. Done. Plum can be brought back into the run on side if fitzy keeps playing terrible.
Of Souths next few games, i expect the dogs to be the easiest. Souths have shown their forwards are up to it, and thats all the dogs have to them. The doggies particularly slow backline will be no match for the sheer pace and footwork of Merritt, Peachey and co.
