21 MAN SQUAD (almost) v SOUTHS

20 MAN SQUAD v SOUTHS

We've cobbled together a squad for this week, albeit one short, to battle the arch enemy. Iceman's 200th, and between our recent record in milestone matches (Jazz's 250th not withstanding) & our makeshift team, this game scares the crap outta me. I still end up in the foetal position when I think of THAT game last year. God I hope nothing like that ever happens again.

Good luck boys. Do us proud, and let's see just how much weight we've put on.

Lam to centre and Abbey to debut! IMO we could still win this one in the forwards. Be an interesting game.

I feel your pain Waylander, this will be ugly, but we will try our best. Disappointed with the club not commenting on injuries from last weekend and expected time out. They know whats going on and it would be respectful to let the fans know. Maybe one spot left open might be for a loan player coming in late?

[Andrew Walker]

1stly Who is Brad Abbey where is he from. Good luck to him. On paper this could get very very ugly for us. Footy though is not played on paper.

Klein the ref and Perenara watching the video. What could possibly go wrong?

[Billy Gunn]

Only 11.5 start this could be painful

[Andrew Walker]

LOL I love it. Havent even taken the field and the referee whining starts. I dont know why they bother turning up.

[RoosterFanNZ]

my lord, that is quite possibly the worst/most inexperienced roosters side i've seen in a while.

if we keep souths below 50 thats a big positive

[ChookMaster]

Lol this will be a painful watch.. I’m sorry we can’t compete with the top teams with that.

Former Bulldog and Raider. Originally a fullback but can play anywhere in the back line. Doesn’t have a massive amount of natural talent but you can’t fault his efforts, he’s tried hard in the games I’ve seen him play.

[Spirit of 66]

LOL I love it. Havent even taken the field and the referee conspiracy starts. I dont know why they bother turning up.

Is he your favourite ref? I don’t like him, but no conspiracy mentioned. I mean he’s not trying to kill me with an evil vaccine if that’s what you mean.

As for Abbey - according to reliable sources on the internet, he’s the next “superstar”:

I wish I had your optimism

[Mickie Lane]

Im worried.
My Souths mate reckons Souths can finish no worse than 3rd so it wouldnt surprise him if they rest some players.
We can only hope.
