Apparently Canberra are going to do a Penrith and basically go with a reserve grade team. We will get Herbie back as well. Beating them by a wide margin, or enough which would be 16 points right now. But if Roosters beat Souths on Friday before our game on Sunday, it's going to be for nothing. It will be actually be even more of a let down to play a reserve grade team in the last round. If that's the case, Dolphins might rest a few as well. Kaufusi to ensure he isn't suspended for round 1 next year. Maybe give Herbie another weekend off to ensure he's at 100% for day one of pre-season training.

6 of their best is a drastically weakened team. Herbie back makes us a 10 point better side in attack and defence. So 20 total. At least against weaker teams.

Souths will apparently also play Murray for his first, and last, game of the year. But Roosters will still start hot favourites.

TBH they are often better without him. Or is it just wishful thinking? Murray is their best player when fit.
Murray is a very good player.

Jye Gray is the best fullback at Souths.

Roosters play before us. He won't be there if the Roosters win.
It will be such a let down if good ol Wayne can't conjure up and upset for us. If he wants to. He's ruthless and I think he loves the whole "Bennett Curse" thing. Wouldn't surprise me if he secretly wants Roosters to win even with the bad blood between the two clubs.

The so-called Bennett curse is dead.

He hasn't really been able to play really well against the top teams yet. To be brutally honest. Though this year I guess the Broncos are the only top team be has played against. Made that one really good break.
his d is so hit n miss too
