I hear the pitch is a tad wet, but the Rabbitoh's have elected to bat. This 80/80 match should see some good hitting, and high scores. If anyone wants to do the updates - that would be great. I'm going to the gym. See y'all in a few hours.
WELCOME TO REDFERN OVAL FOR THIS HISTORIC GAME The last time these two teams met at Redfern was in 1987, the year the Sea Eagles went on to defeat the Canberra Raiders in the Grand Final
The Sea Eagles team will largely feature their Toyota Cup side and a few fringe players. South Sydney whilst naming a lot of lower graders are expecting to play some of the big names.
