Gee whiz fans from other teams underrate a few of our players.

Didn't you know that's because we only have 3 players (not a team of 17 and a squad of 30-odd).

Also guys like Blair have left on decent coin and not done much at their new club.

I think it's all games atm. They'd be stupid to risk him.

I think the bunnies will find it harder to cover Sutton out than G.I.

They've been doing it for years the clueless idiots and they'll never learn. Remember when the Dogs pack were going to steamroll our bunch of nobodies last year? :lol:

Also agree and highly doubt they'll risk GI coming back so soon. Crazy if they do only a month out from the finals.

might depend on how much they want the minor premiership. if they want it bad enough, they might be crazy enough to risk him, especially since the roosters are playing the canberra rabbles this week

See in SMH today there is a story about how the Rabbits have a conflict of dates in February 2014. The charity shield between the Rabbits and Dragons and the WCC is being played on the same day. Seeing the Rabbits have won nothing yet, I do not know why they are worried about this. As far I know the Rabbits are not even in the grand final yet, let alone won it. But that is Sydney for you, this is the same paper that two weeks ago said a Rabbits/Roosters was a for gone conclusion so it is good for the WCC to be played in Australia in 2014.

Earlier in the week I thought we should win pretty comfortably, not as sure now. Worried about the Souths forwards wanting to make a statment after there last efforts.

I would expect plenty of traffic to go Keary' way, excellent player btw could be a big danger, but he will defend on the our right and our best players go to the left so I dont think you go away from what works to target some-one.

Really hope Bellamy keeps Chambers on the left side. Don't trust Juzzy and Mahe at all defensively.
