Souths issues are highlighted nicely in that post DKOR
Melbourne slaughtered your boys out wide and that is where just about every team who has beaten them this year has done it and I can see the Dogs doing the same. Simply put your 3/4 line is rubbish and is only made up by how good Inglis is at the back. He cant carry the who line in defence though like he does in attack.
Some teams aren't lucky enough to sign two international outside backs for $50k mid way through the season...
Ftr, every team has its weakness. That's the legacy of a salary cap. Imo, ours went a long way to being addressed when King was injured and McQueen was moved to the centres. Farrell and Reynolds are still reasonably weak defenders but Merritt coming back will help us as well.
Once again, let me reiterate that I'm not putting us down as certainties. Far from it. Dogs are definite favorites and deservedly so but they are a long way from unbeatable and I give us a fair chance. They have their fair share of weaknesses as well and we have some game breakers in our team who can exploit them.
