The Rabbitohs looked good in the first half against the Roosters but fell away in the second half. I notice the powers that be did not charge Victor Radley for a hip drop tackle, which is illegal, on Shaquai Mitchell which puts him out for eight weeks. Looks like money talks.
The side will wear a special one-off jumper in honour of John Sattler who sadly passed away this week. The jumper will feature the torn rabbit and full hoops, the same jersey Sattler wore during his premiership winning days. At the 13th minute of play the Burrow, which are Rabbitohs supporters, will lead the crowd in a round of applause, paying homage to the number 13 jersey worn by Sattler in his four Premiership victories as captain of South Sydney in 1967,1968,1970,and 1971.
Sea Eagles team:
1. Tom Trbojevic 2. Christian Tuipulotu 3. Brad Parker 4. Tolutau Koula 5. Reuben Garrick 6. Josh Schuster 7. Daly Cherry-Evans 8. Taniela Paseka 9. Lachlan Croker 10. Jake Trbojevic 11. Haumole Olakau’atu 12. Kelma Tuilagi 13. Josh Aloiai 14. Kaeo Weekes 15. Ben Trbojevic 16. Ethan Bullemor 17. Sean Keppie 18. Toafofoa Sipley 19. Cooper Johns 20. Morgan Harper 21. Karl Lawton 22. Ben Condon
The Manly team looked good against the Eels last week and have had a few more days rest also, due to how the draw is worked out. They will name the same 17 as last week. They are unbeaten this year but have lost 12 from 13 at this venue since 2013.
PREDICTION.
I am going to go with Souths this week due to the emotion of playing for John Sattler will bring out the best in them. Both sides are good and both could win this. Souths minus 2.5 points @ $1.78 looks tempting, and for Manly fans try, plus 7.5 points @ $1.63
