2012 - Round 1: South Sydney Rabbitohs v Sydney Roosters @ ANZ Stadium (Match thread)

[fletch]

Kheirallah is extremely unlucky not to get the gig at 6 if Braith is out, he certainly outshone Mortimer in the trials, wonder if Braith is indeed out, how long the boys have had to prepare with Morts at 6.

can certainly see the bunnies big boys running straight for Morts tonight and testing him out, in hindsight would have it been better to just stick Symonds as a running number 6, I guess we will have to wait and see how things pan out tonight.

Good Luck Boys!!!!!!

Anasta out. On 2SM. Now we might score some points.

I never thought I would say this but if true we are really going to miss Braith.

Just his defense on the edges against some big men will be missed. In all honesty he is much better than Morts.

With you on that one fitzy.
Morts will do a fine job, but his defense worries me.

Far out i'm so pumped for this match. Having to sit through all 7 games and to finally watch your own team on a monday has been torture. I hope we get a win.

Very interested to see how Morts/Pearce combination goes around.

Anasta has confirmed he's out on twitter

[007]

Souffs have been backed into $1.70 Greg pritchard is alluding to a big name rooster being out.

My only thought could be braith with his back injury

What's in a name - sorry, couldn't resist.

This will please the Braith detractors....we will miss him.

But can still win.

Someone should start a new thread on the fact that Bwaiff is out..

[Guest]

I don't know why everyone thinks Anasta being out is good news... I can not see us being better off without him tonight

[novice chook]

It's not as if he played in the trials so Morts and Jnr Jnr have had a little time to gel. I thought they worked quite well together during the Tigers match.

I'd be happier if Braith was playing though, for the experience factor alone.

Fark I hate playing the Vermin first up.
