After the past two weeks, I wouldn't write us off for this one, especially since Reynolds is out. But we always seem to struggle against the Bunnies, even when they set the standard of crapness in the pre Rusty years. We'll make a game of it, but I think it'll be 28-14 to the Bunnies.

In your head, rent free
I don't rate souths 2-5 all that highly, Dylan Walker still injured? Alex Johnson is getting good but Goodwin and Reddy are ripe for the taking

the big key is their number 1, shut him down now that Reynolds is out and the game is shut out

limit offloads and get in the burgess boys face early and we are a shot

I have a feeling out pack will be

prior
ennis
heighno
wade
lewy
gal

so whilst still light, it is dynamic and has an offload in it

I feel barba and holmes could tear them up if we are on song

that said, now I am confident, we will get done by 20

They'll be without Lowe next week after he collected Thurston legs I reckon. I really hope we don't play Taga this week. If it's over for him just end it and blood someone else.

The Cows are splitting Souths open up the guts tonight. Val and Barba should be sniffing around the middle all night.

Its a real shame we don't have the Fifita boys for this game. If we dominate there forwards I think we can take the points. the only outside back they have named tonight that is any good is GI.

.....and Alex Johnston. Agree on the rest, very average.

I was listening to the game on Triple M tonight and they mentioned that Dylan Walker might be back next week. He'll make a big difference.

I didn't think AJ was good last night, but he is class

reddy and Goodwin are useless and if they get walker back I would be aiming a lot of attack at a guy coming back from a broken hand

Yeah it's a shame Fifita is out, would have loved him running at Walker if he plays.

I think Toops could cause havoc up the middle in the 10 minutes before half time and 15 before full time with Val and Barba hanging off him. As I said earlier Souths were very fragile up the guts last night.

You would have to think that Maquire will fix that up against us. They will probably have Sutton back as well which helps them with Reynolds out.
Souths are a team that you can beat if you bustle them and put them off their game. But stand back in defence or let them off load and they will run all over us.

I do think we can win but it will take a lot of hard work to do it.

Thing is though mate they haven't been overly impressive for a while now.

Round 3 scrappy win against Wests
Round 4 beaten by Parra
Round 5 just got home against Dogs
Round 6 over run by the Cows

True and Round 3, 4 and most of 5 they had Reynolds. Is it premiership hangover or is a case of everyone being more pumped when you play the Premiers?

Premiership hangover is players being spent from the year before, and also slacking off because they won it last year.
