Team announced

[melon....]

I don't think Graham is any better defensively than BJ

Graham is ****ing worse. at least BJ has shown he can hold up a player in goal. Graham is a ****ing ragdoll.

Yeh I agree. BJ still has issues positionally. But after the Warriors game, Grahams positional play is FAR worse

Souths also showed glimpses of how to defend St George. On many occasions the Saints players were dancing around in slow motion, but Souths held a solid defensive line. No one rushed up or scattered. The tries they conceeded, were the result of a scattered line or lazy defense (ie. Taylor) which resulted in a broken line

Riddell?, Riddell?, Riddell?.
Ryles?, Ryles? Ryles?

If anything, Riddell is a good laugh when he runs like Porky Pig.

Well said. Both of them slow the team down enormously... We should be offering them retirement plans NOW

Almost certain.. Symonds out and Graham into the centres and Maubs into the backrow. Conn is 50/50.

I hate to say it but as much as I love home-grown players we have to buy. Backs in particular.

You would have to think this being the case. Hopefully Graham has learnt how to run straight in the last two weeks..

I simply do not understand why Graham would be picked over Linnett. Linnett did NOTHING to warrant being dropped. With Carney out, the team should be...

Minichiello
Perrett (J Carney when he is injured)
Kenny-Dowall
Linnett
BJ Leilua
Anasta
Pearce
Ryles
Friend
Kennedy
Aubusson (on the right fringe)
Symonds (on the left fringe - I'd have Arona if Symonds is injured)
Myles

Riddell/Conn (use Conn as an extra forward vs a big pack)
Nuuausala
Hargreaves
Masoe

That is the best team we can field. Linnett needs to be there as a priority over Graham, who is on his last legs.

Linnett can swap with the B.J.

If you have not a ticket for Monday yet today is a good day to get one..

Do we know if Masoe is 100%? Seemed to pick up a neck injury against the Warriors and then only played 13 min's against the Broncos after reputedly being in doubt for the game.
