Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2754038, member: 1899"] North Sydney Bears skipper Ed Murphy could make his first grade debut in place of Kirisome Auva'a. This could be a positive move for South Sydney. Auva'a hasn't been the same player since 2015 and Souths could do with more fresh blood. Murphy is around the same age, has spent a large amount of time in the lower levels honing his craft, watching lesser players get an opportunity before him. The down-side is that Murphy isn't the type of player that has a lot of upside about him. What you see is what you get, so you're not going to see a big return on your investment. It's a big game for South Sydney. Win, and they're right back in the running for an unlikely finals berth. Lose and they're beginning to lose touch at the wrong end of the season. I've got them losing this clash, going to 5-9 which would see them sit as low as 14th pending on the Titans-Sea Eagles game. The future doesn't look bright either. They've got an away game against Penrith two days after Origin II. They followed that up with a "home" game against the Cowboys in Cairns, followed by the Broncos the week after. They could fall into a six game losing streak, 5-12, with it all to do against the Sea Eagles, Raiders, Warriors, Sharks, Knights and Bulldogs. Would I be getting ahead of myself if I said that they'll miss the eight entirely? [/QUOTE]
