Souths

[lynx000]

Look to be a far better team than what ran around last year. I know that they bought well with Burgess and Taylor, but they look to be a far better organised and coached team this year. Lang has them playing really good football. Good move to shift Taylor by the looks of it.

Souths in 3rd place is not on. We better win next week.

Cant see them not winning and by a lot to be honest.

No Locky, Sammy and one or both of Te'o and Izzy. We are dead meat...even with them not having Burgess or Taylor.

Merritt and Champion will carve us just like they did last year. [icon_lol1. [eusa_doh

It'll be a good test for both teams this week. I probably lean towards Souths at the moment, but no reason the Broncos can't beat them at all.

When do the players head into camp?

 

[Jeza23]

I'm leaning towards Brisbane purely because we our losses seem more replaceable than theirs.

Burgess is a huge loss for their team this week.

Thaiday is even bigger for us. Lockyer would be on even par with Burgess the way hes been playing recently and without Izzy now too I just dont see where our points are coming from.

Hunt/Norman and Wallace will need huge games for us to even get close....as well as Winterstein and Glenn on the left side in defence

Where are Souths points coming from then? Burgess is their best forward and is responsible for most of their second phase play. Taylor is destructive down that left hand side. Isaac Luke is their key play-making man.

Out losses are big, their losses are big but our losses have been easier to cover than theirs - Love to know how they are going to replace Luke, Burgess and Taylor.

This is the key point.

Luke is the focal point of just about all their attacking plays, he gets out of dummyhalf well and sets up a roll-on from there.

Sandow is one of the most overrated players in the NRL IMO .... he can't create diddlysquat by himself.

Sutton is so hot and cold it's not funny. Hardly a player you could rely on to get you to a premiership.

Saying that though, they've taken every opportunity given to them by opposing sides, we just have to make sure we give them nothing.
