Rabbitohs v Sea Eagles Preview

http://nrl.com/News/Latest/tabid/10244/default.aspx?id=52416

ANZ Stadium
Sunday 3pm

BELIEVE it or not it is still mathematically possible for the Rabbitohs to make the finals – but it would take four straight wins to do so and even then they’d need a miracle of biblical proportions.

So while the faint glimmer of hope might still be around, the reality is the Rabbitohs know this game is more about disrupting their rivals as they go for a tilt at the title they came close to last season.

Manly are still holding onto first place at the moment despite losing to Melbourne last weekend but with just 27 differential points separating the two teams a loss at any stage would likely see the Storm take the top seed.

The Sea Eagles will be hoping they cannot only beat the 14th-placed Bunnies but also put a score on them to try to create some space between themselves and the Storm.

Souths come into the match with the same side that lost to Cronulla last round, with the addition of Manase Manuokafoa on an extended bench.

The Manly side is as it was for their epic battle with the Storm.

Watch out Rabbitohs: While Brett Stewart and Michael Robertson get plenty of plaudits for their try-scoring abilities, a major key to the Sea Eagles’ backline is centre Steven Bell.

With 14 line breaks this year Bell is third in the NRL and he is averaging 93 metres a game.

If there is one criticism of his game though it has been the conversion rate of his breaks to tries.

Bell has had problems setting up his supports but should he be able to either finish the break himself or find a mate then the Rabbitohs could be in trouble.

Watch out Sea Eagles: Poor discipline in this contest could cost the Manly side dearly.

They have conceded 151 penalties this season, only behind Newcastle’s 153, while the Rabbitohs have been the most well-behaved side in the competition, being pinged just 107 times this year.

Should the Rabbitohs benefit from a lopsided penalty count they just might have enough ball and field position to trouble the Manly defence.

Manly coach Des Hasler will need to instil the importance of discipline in his side and ensure they don’t give Steve Lyons any excuses to blow the pea out of his whistle.

Where it will be won: Attitude.

The Manly boys are likely to be a little deflated after the massive clash with the Storm last weekend and the hangover could get in the way of their push to be firstly minor premiers and then premiers.

Des Hasler has to ensure they aren’t even slightly off their game because the Bunnies are a confidence team.

If they can get to an early lead they will back themselves to go all the way and even if they don’t they have proven to be able to come back from seemingly impossible positions this season.

Manly need to be switched on for the entire 80 minutes, not 50, 60 or 70. Manly fans need only think back to late last regular season when the Bunnies came over the top of their side to know the danger the Rabbitohs can provide if you are a fraction off your best.

The History: Played 120; Rabbitohs 54, Sea Eagles 66.

Manly have won five of the past six between the two sides, including a 20-2 win at Brookvale earlier this year.

In the two games payed at ANZ Stadium the ledger stands at one all.

Conclusion: Manly should win this clash and as such are the team to tip but stranger things have happened.

There really isn’t a huge difference between the competition’s top sides and the bottom ones so if a side is just 10 per cent off their game they can be beaten.

Manly could have a hangover and if they do the youthful exciting Bunnies could trouble them.

If you are in desperate need of an upset in your tipping comp you could risk it here, but it’s a big risk.

Willo on the bench ???? Waste of a spot if he doesn't start the game as he offers no impact whatsoever.

We need to run up a big score.  Storm play the hapless bunnies in round 26 in Melbourne.

Re: Manly V Souths Teams, News Stats & Chat

With this game being the last regular season game if they need to win to match Manly's points on the ladder they will also know what the differential will be and how many points they will need to score to claim the minor premiership.

NRL late mail for round 23

SOUTH SYDNEY v MANLY at ANZ Stadium, Sunday 3.05pm
SOUTH Sydney coach Jason Taylor yesterday omitted Michael Greenfield from his five-man bench. Several Manly players have been affected by the flu this week with a training session today to determine who plays. The Rabbitohs have lost six from seven daytime matches this season. Manly have a good recent record against Souths, winning nine of their past 12 matches. The Sea Eagles' record away this year is six wins from nine. These teams have only played twice at Homebush, winning one each. Their last match was at Brookvale, Manly winning 20-2.

Re: Manly V Souths Teams, News Stats & Chat

hmmmm could this mean we see a few players rested?  I'd really like to know who has this flu...  But yeah, i wouldn't be surprised if NBQ, Deadwood or even Robson are playing this weekend...

 

[DSM5]

Re: Manly V Souths Teams, News Stats & Chat

If my recollection is correct we lost this game last year.  If we rest players we run the risk of a loss.  We need our best squad to get the points up.

Please No, NO, NO, NO.  That is just wrong!

Re: Manly V Souths Teams, News Stats & Chat

I have been to both Homebush Hares games in the last two seasons. The first one was the Willo try with the balls between the legs job and the other was the one where we led by many at half time, clocked off and got run down by a weaker team. We need to be on to beat these guys as the club still lives back in the late 60s in their hate of Manly.

I am yet to receive an E-mail, or contact details for those that have paid for a corp. box ticket. Phone Dan over the weekend if you need my details.

This is the 3rd time I have said this.

Just updating NRL stats and Fox Sports every so often mate.

Interesting because NRL Stats says 0-0 after 15 whereas Fox Sports says 10-0 Souths after 15 as well  ??? ???
