- Well here we are Game Day is upon us it’s been a long off season with a lot of soul searching we have been criticised heavily in the media for the most part which I think for the most part we have deserved. We have obviously done a lot of soul searching and reviews behind closed doors. Al the prep in the off season all the hard work we have done we now need to put that into action. I want to see the boys come out taking pride in everything they do and working hard for one another. JD has now taken over the defensive side of things so we will see if we can see any change at all to the way we defend. We all know we have the attack there that won’t be an issue. And what’s more is it’s not just any round 1 it’s an absolute blockbuster a history maker that will go down in folklore yes the NRL has gone to Las Vegas what an occasion it’ll be what great exposure for our great game. It’s great that we can be the first to play a game over there and hopefully the game will grow more in America and who knows we might get some new members and fans out of it. I would love to have made the trip over but it wasn’t possible but for those that have I hope they’re having the time of our lives I’m sure it’ll top it off if we can win.
Looking at who we are playing too it’s a rival we have a strong dislike for yes we are playing Manly. We have had lots of fierce clashes with them over the years. We last beat them 13-12 last year so they will be stinging over that still and they’ll want to start well this year after not having the best year last year either. We are coming up against Seasnake too it’s always nice to get one over him. Looking at Manly they have a strong pack Haumole is a massive danger on the edge. Then of course they have DCE and Turbo who can tear any opposition side apart and they have lots of speed out wide that could trouble us. Then there is the addition of Luke Brooks who will be raring to start off with his new club with a man of the match performance he will be so hungry. So we need to defend really well and do the little things well. Winning that battle in the middle having a high completion rate and being patient in attack will be important. Make silly errors and give silly penalties away and we will pay.
For us we are weaker in the backline with Wighton, Campbell and Munro all out. Luckily we have Tassy to play right centre he will do a good job and it’s very handy we have him. Then we have Kennar at left centre he has a very tough ask in marking Koula which I’m a bot concerned about. J. Gagai has worked so hard for his opportunity I’m very happy for him making his debut second oldest South Sydney player ever to make his debut I hope he really takes this opportunity and has a great game. He has been in our system for years and he has earnt this opprtunity go well Jacob. If we win that middle battle I feel we can limit the chances Manly get out wide as well which will be important. Keppie against his former club will be emotional but we need him to keep his head and do his job for us.
Well I must say I think we all feel this that it has the feeling of a massive finals game this one with such an occasion. To all those that went over our Bunnies brothers and sisters do your best to get the boys home I want to hear that South Sydney chant going around Allegiant Stadium let’s show America how passionate we are about our Rabbitohs! I just hope our boys aren’t too overawed by the occasion we need to stick to our process as JD would say!
