There are 2 major reasons we need to "at least" match the South's forward pack who apart from Cam Murray, won the middle against a very strong Bronco pack containing Haas, Carrigan, Riki and co last week.
Firstly this is where South's will definitely base their game plan and win quick momentum for Cook to exploit.....and if we don't, could get very ugly quickly and missing so many bigs it is a concern.
Also if Manly can contain this area well, it will take out the 2 attacking weapons of Walker and Wighton, who will be expected by the South's hierarchy to dominate this game.
I am intrigued by this matchup, as our boys like Navale, Shoup and Humphrey will have a red hot dog and Manly are coming off their gutsiest win in 3 years, so confidence and belief should be high
Interesting contest and I'm looking forward to it big time.
 
I feel like this might be the right game to play V’landy ball, Seibold style, play expansive footy, run their middles, should be a good game, can’t see why we wouldn’t believe we can get the job done, be a huge win, bonus 2 points under the circumstances and lock us in the 8.
Apart from the problem of the weather forecast.
 
I really can't see us wining this game, sadly. Souths have been getting back to great form in the last few weeks and with the amount of players we're missing, I just don't think we'll be able to match them, particularly in the forwards. I actually think this could be a bit of a blow out - and that's really gunna sting. Fuk I hope I'm wrong though. Please!!!

That really plays into their hands where we won’t be able to run their forwards around with our smaller pack and ball movement.
On the flip side it could also bing us into the game tightening up the contest in wet conditions.
Very excited for this game
 
Haven't seen the obligatory training photos yet signaling Humphreys debut. Pretty sure it has been done for recent debutants. Is one coming?

Agree, with so many changes it's a real mystery game to predict, we could get flogged or we play like we did against the saints
 
Doesn’t give much away, although I think I spotted Toff in video on captains run. PS sorry for the Chinese in link

WE WONT GET FLOGGED IF WE FIGHT WITH THE FEARLESS FORTIDUE WE DISPLAYED AGAINST THE SAINTS

WE WILL WIN THIS BECAUSE
