This will be the real test of whether Nate can step up and still do the business... He got very limited game time last week, looked willing enough but usual story of limited speed at the line. We need an Origin-like performance for him here, including the trademark 'headbutt' tackle. Probably on Sam Burgess, but I'm not fussy.

It's alright, nightster - we don't need Kingy. Siroju©™ (see, I got you covered, Freagle) was on the back page of the "Manly Daily" today saying that he and Frank Winterstein would step up to carry the load of Taupau and AFB, so we're all sorted. And if you can't put your faith in Siroju©™ and Frankenstein… wait, how does that sentence end?

We should win this comfortably. Souths attack is garbage especially without Reynolds and Inglis. We were good last week in defence, all we need to do is play for 80 mins and cut out the stupid handling errors. 50% of possession and we win this easy

The defense was so good last week, and I'm excited about the newbies and how they slot in 
Someone drop an elbow into Reynolds stomach and he'll stop his long kicks quick smart. No MRC, no fine just good old fashioned footy

Most important game of the year this week
This is the game where Myles will be scrutinized .
He is a high paid recruit to help rebuild the club
This is the game where our club that pays him the big money will expect him to earn it with a big match.
This is the game where he will have to prove and justify his worth to the club.
If Maguire has the balls to drop the under performing Burgess Boys to NSW cup then Barrett can do the same if Myles or Brown do not aim up this week .
This is the game where Myles and Brown have to perform like teenagers on heat and if they cant stand the NRL heat they play in the second division

Why have we got Cullen & Brown on the bench? Also, when did Reynolds become a player to be feared? Aside from his goal kicking, he's got nfi.

I don't see Inglis as a great loss. Who replaces him needs to have heavy attention put on him. With or without Reynolds, Souths are ordinary at best. Having Sirro and Frank stepping up and trying to win a starting spot is the key. I see us winning by plenty if we don't get complacent.

With 4 props missing and back rowers like Lane and Kennedy expected to fill that void from the bench, I think Brown will be used primarily as a forward which will probably mean he'll see more game time as a back rower (God help us.....). I'd say that Cullen is the bench hooker / utility player.
Unfortunately, with 4 props MIA, what we have left is fringe back rowers to fill front row spots for a couple of weeks.
How in hell does that happen? We're only one game into the damn season and we're already being forced to use back rowers as props because of injury and suspension.
Probably have to expect to be without 3 at some stage of the season, but 4 is a bit unlucky. Added to which - we released one a month before kickoff without replacing him, leaving us short.

Problem is, they don't have to step up to win their starting spots because they've already got them. They started round one and will start for the foreseeable future because, really, who's going to replace them? Especially with Prop Crisis 2017 underway.
