SQUAD v SOUTHS

[Thirteen]

Glad no Burgess. Teddy will be safer.

Plus I rate him. He’s a good hard runner up the middle.

Agree. Their pack is soft without Burgess.

[Thirteen]

They got another lazy Mitchell. If he’s the best they can do as a starting prop it’s a promising sign.

Soft, really?

They still look tough & mobile.

Losing JWH might come back to bite big time.

Does the most conceded penalties ever get addressed by Robbo?

The ill discipline in this team seems to be something he cant get under control for whatever reason.

Burgess is their JWH. They're not quite the same without him.

We should beat Souffs. We will miss the big dogs contribution if we make the finals.

[Waylander]

Milne was not selected, so that’s about 3 concussions we won’t have to worry about.

[Lydon]

Also he always troubles us when we play them..

They will definitely miss Burgess more than we miss JWH!

You're scaring me RP.

[Johnny Brass]

Can't believe Robbo is going to give Gus a gig over Whyte, one bloke has punched out big numbers all year and improved whilst the other has done nothing and has been a weak link, it's a poor selection based on past reputation in my book.

In other relevant news:

• Penrith have named a full-strength team, but they could easily swap a bunch of players out with the extended bench after the result of the Bronco's - Storm game is known on Thursday night.
• Nicho has been named for Cronulla, and Papalii is out for Canberra for the season with a bicep injury.

Getting ahead of myself but IMO we could easily put the Knights/Sharks to bed if we come 7th and play them in round 1 of the finals. Same with the Warriors (how the fark are they 3rd?) though the Riff, Drongos and Drizz would require us to step up quick a few levels.
