Same 17 24 hours out with Hope & Mason still in 19-man squad. I’m still predicting Hope in for Naden.

Gee i hope so. I’m hoping Mason in for galvin. Current bench as it currently stands is sheenius

Geez I’d hoped that common sense would prevail and Da Silva would be at 14. He’s been fairly good all season and quite dangerous for tiring opposition when replacing Api. One bad game last week and he’s axed? Hell they may as well axe the whole lot if they’re going to go by last week’s performance.

Benji said Api has been playing longer minutes so TDS has been missing out on important game time. Wants him to get more game time so he's pushed back to cup.

Thought the whole point was for Api to get a break though and not play 80 as he falls off towards the end of the game.

Personally think Naden offers nothing, especially from the bench. So if that's the TDS plan, I hope Mason or Hope replace Naden on the bench to fill that TDS role, allowing Api to rest.

I'd like to see Mason at 6 and Galvin at 18, too

Is it not the lightest bench in the NRL, it's stinks was hoping Porter would come in to add some size, lost confidence in a win now.

I dreamt the scoreline last night

It wasn't pretty we lost 38 to 12 and we made Bud look like a scud

That's pretty much the score I'm expecting.

I definitely can see and think Hope will replace Naden and be able to cover Api for 15-20 mins BUT it would be very interesting if Mason is brought in to do the same and we get to see a little bit of Mason at dummy half.

Rabbitohs training once again, intense with trell mit really up for this one. Gotta play himself into origin selection. Thinking he will have a blinder against us tomorrow, hope he have done our homework.

We never seem to do our homework, looks like we will get detention over the bye round.

Hahahahaha.

Souths have an 8-10 record vs us.
Also don’t think the Tigers have beaten a South Sydney side with Latrell Mitchell in it.

Have we even beaten Latrell Mitchell? Maybe when we got the Roosters in Rd1 in 2018?

Yep that’s the only game.

What's the deal with Porter? However long ago it was I saw him I thought he had huge potential and thought he could be a regular this year.

Seemed really talented. Injured? Hope it's not the dreaded attitude problem....

He is 29...probably a good reason he's been a career back up.

 

[The Chad]

I'm not convinced there won't be some last minute changes.

Look at the 2 replacements. Hope covers Api- currently nobody covers Api in the squad.

Bula under no injury cloud, so Mason is there for who? Either To'a is still not totally clear (Naden moves to centre) or Galvin drops out with either Naden to centre & Doueihi to 5/8 with Mason to #14, or Mason straight in to #6 (less likely IMO).

Most likely scenario I think is- To'a not 100% & Naden on standby, Hope to take Naden's #14 spot regardless of To'a being fit.

Hope you are right but not overly confident. 🤞

Im cautious, but theres a limit, at some point you have to make stand.

Comparing the sides on paper, their backline is mostly slow and inexperienced.

We lent Bud out because we were unable to find a spot for him. Not even in the sludgy sump of the roster. And i like Bud, but hes a slow learner and needs to mature. He will be a conpetent half on a few years.

As for morivation. coming off a catastrophic loss, reputation of our boys in the dumpster. Ghastly record at Cambo.

Id be tempted to boo the side on when we run out ....until they earn a cheer.

But all the ways of the league, we should put 12 on them.

Fingers crossed of course lol

Same could be said about Tim Johannssen who just left and big Herman who just disappeared.
All this potential that we seemed to have in the off season to provide depth in the forwards turned out to be a myth.

We're knocking Souths off 36-16
