  Ur kiddin me right.
  
  Last year Sandow and Sutton had problems, but this year Sutton has been great as has Sandow.
  
  Only problem with Sandow is his Defense, but other than that their halves have been great!

    Sandow also seems to have little angry man sydrome syndrome. He can be easily baited and then he gets a bit dirty. So does Isaac Luke a bit, maybe that is a key to winning.

  Srry guys, cant go past the bunnie and will be tipping them.
  
  On a positive note, i havent tipped against Parra all year and look how they have gone, i have had my worst ever start to a tipping comp ever, so me tipping against parra may be a good thing :)

  Justin Poore needs to start the first 20min against such a big forward pack, i'd bench mateo and start the game with 3 prop forwards and just hope we muscle up early and don't give away any more stupid penalties, then inject mateo and start throwing our offloads like last year. Souths big pack will struggle if they gotta chase 2nd phase plays all day.

  That's impossible, i could never tip against the eels no matter how bad their playing. Even if i opened today's paper and found David Penna at 7 i would tip the eels.

  Starting Mateo on the bench and bringing Poore in to the starting 13 is not a bad idea I reckon for this game. And maybe not just for this game. I'd be very tempted to give Horo a go in the starting side in coming weeks.

  Let's recall the match last year when even back then we were talking about the strength of the Souths forwards and our blokes just dominated them. You take Sam Burgess out of the side and it's certainly not a stunning outfit. We just need to pay particular attention to Burgess and Sutton and dominate the collisions to cut down their offloads.

  Isaac Luke is the key 1-Eyed. Gotta nullify him. Robson's assignment has to be to follow him all day. They'll direct plenty of traffic both KK and Mortimer's way, getting Sutton, Burgess and Crocker off the bench running at them on the fringes. Going to be a tough day the office. They'll know they've played a game of footy come 5PM Sunday afternoon.

  I will be tipping the bunnies also. That should make us win, it usually does!
