They do look bad souths...totally lost and unenthusiastic . We've had some bad performances last couple of years but nothing like this. Cant ever remember being down 32-0 at half time!

Yep that would have been nice, imagine how a game like this would affect our confidence?

Souths were disjointed last week too - Burgess can't carry them for 80 minutes.
They beat Rorters and Knights - their lack of form was masked by these weakend Teams

I have seen GI play well once in a side that lost, and that was SoO game 2 last year. If the Rabbitohs are behind, he provides nothing.

Why I like our chances against souths.
1. Their forward pack isn't big, mobile and fast like dogs or cowboys. We can contain them easier up the middle then those other sides.
2. Their backline is slow. They have set plays in slow motion and fairly predictable. And when we play sides with slower backs I feel much much more confident with Lyon and matai. I remember Lyon having a field day against souths last year

I think he is highly over rated.Yes, when on he is unstoppable but is not consistent enough and doesn't step up enough in the big game for all the accolades he gets

There is no A.I. Just better computers
Barrett will counter it by showing our rounds one and two games to the boys.

Souths vs Manly 2014 finals series.
Any team that is playing soft or looking lethargically flat be it defence or attack will get lapped in the modern game.
Manly can look forward to such performances if they continue to defend in the manner they have been since mid/late 2014.
Mondays game against Cronulla was another soft containment/absorb defensive style with the odd bit of improvement in patches not enough though.
Cronulla don't run the greatest lines or structures or have the most sharp direct go forward to take full advantage of such a scenario.
You are full of future positivity today TC!!
