Gameday Rabbitohs vs Warriors - [Round 5, 2024]

[Noitall]

SJ has been asking some questions of the opposition defence with Capewell in the last couple of weeks on their edge. If Laban is courageous enough to hold those passes he gives, he could have some joy with that extra 10 kilos Laban offers

It's all good we gonna win this one today.
It's my Birthday and I made a wish that we win
Birthday wishes always come true right?

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Is Ali playing as well, or just 18th man?

At this stage neither have been offically named in the starting 17. Even as 18th man now your 50/50 to play. Only 1 HIA from foul play to activate

My prediction is Webby is ahead of the curve. Keep your powder dry for the finals and make sure everyone is game fit. Ali and Pompey are lining up and its only game 5. TMM, CHT too. Add Laban and Zion and here we are.

Yeah I like that idea, certainly looks that way with TMM coming straight in despite CHT playing very well in at six.
Also the sticking with Taine Tuaupiki despite Webster knowing full well Roger is the better fullback, the same could be argued with sticking with CNK there also, Webster knows having Roger at center come what may, gives him three man deep cover for fullback

I like the way we are creating depth and also honoring last years hard workers like Pompey and TMM by bringing them back in whenever a spot is available.

 

[Stalefish540]

A debut always makes the game more exciting, especially a young stud like Laban.

Hope he has a cracker, can't wait now.

Does Host or Keaon run that left edge for Souths?

 

[RobRoyMcCoy]

Is Ali playing as well, or just 18th man?

As far as I know he is still 18th man but I must admit I wondered this morning if Ali might play on the wing outside of Roger instead of Pompey. Our X factor rating would improve but I suspect Pompey earned this spot by his solid performance last week.

Well TMM looking pretty confident in his ‘ drip and swagger ‘

I heard from a few people here it’s wet in Sydney

Ali is more potent on a flat dry track

Pomp’s is the man purely for his size and experience on D

I still remember last seasons brain fart against the broncos which cost us a miracle comeback but I’m not bitter


Warriors +8

 

[Tokyo Warrior]

I'm completely lost as to how we are lining up. Half expecting a really disjointed performance.

 

[Rick O’Shay]

I think we got this. Our D will bring us home along with SJ's boot and the corner stranglehold.

The Bunnies have probably the lowest frustration level in the league so a bit of pressure will help our cause immensely

As mentioned several times above, only thing that can derail us is the officiating. Not confident about that.

Warriors by 12

If Ali was to start on the wing, I hope he doesn’t jam in as much as he did in his last showing on the wing for NZa. Whoever it is just stay on your man

HBD bro
Let’s get the WIN and celebrate

 

[Inruin]

I'm content with Pompey starting on the wing from a defensive perspective. He will be marking Wighton's edge and I expect much of Souths attack to favor his side.

I think Montoya and Berry will be marking that side?

 

[watcher]

I would like to see RTS getting in the play on the right and SJ on the left on occasion. Roger roaming will have Souths focus on him.

 

[WarriorsForever]

I think Montoya and Berry will be marking that side?

My mistake your right our right edge vs there left

 

[sydneywarrior92]

My mistake your right our right edge vs there left

Monty please don't jam in today. Otherwise Wighton will have a field day.

 

[Lance155]

I don't see why Montoya would need to shift wings? Thought Pompey could play both?
