I'm really looking forward to this show down. Hope the Bunnies have better luck than last year where Wing got nailed by Riley Brown and descended into a terrible losing streak.

Hopefully the tables will turn. Can't wait to see Wesser and Best play for the Bunnies. Not too sure about Sutton at 5/8th but maybe he'll see more ball and be more switched on, with Luke and Wing sharing the hooker role. Seems like a waste of talent, a lot of money not being used effectively and it's what he left Easts to escape.

6. Wing 7. Sandow 9. Luke 13. Sutton please.

Sounths have a really good team there are a really exciting team to watch, I think they will make it into top 6 if wing doesnt get injured

That's a really strong side from the bunnies. I wouldn't be surprised to see them give the comp a shake this year.

Souths have an excellent side this year & should put the Roosters away in this match & suprisingly they are the outsiders to win this game @ $2.50 which i think is great value against $1.50 for the Roosters :)

52 - 12... WOW.

Good work bunnies!

Insane!!!!!!

good on the bunnies....

[TITAN PETE]

Brilliant Bunnys :salute:

OMG... How good was Chris Sandows try.

Its a real shame this guy had to be let go by the Titans. A star of the future if he can stay in control of his flighty tendancies.

I'm delighted to hear this.

Gorden Tallis seems to have made a real impact as forwards coach, they now seem to have some mongrel. Their backs have been strengthened with some great buys in Best and Wesser.

I can't wait to see the replay. Hey I should watch it on bigpond. :thumbsup:

Rugby league will be healthy with a strong Souths and Bulldogs.
