On paper they are even sides, whilst Ben Volavola, Lopeti Timani and Jed Holloway have played Super rugby, they're only fringe players.
Last time I counted Eastwood have 4 Super rugby players as well.

What about Sitaleki? He was listed to start. Volavola has often played for the Tahs this season, Lopeti and Holloway are both way ahead in the popularity stakes.
Are we talking four current Soup players for Eastwood? That is stretching it a bit.

Do we count the three wallabies souths fielded; S.Timani, R.Horne and N.Cummins?

Not sure I agree, on paper Southern have 6 currently contracted Super players including 3 wallabies as mentioned below. The woods have 2- Robinson and I think maccaffery (I think at force?). Woods definetly have weakest of top 4 teams but I'm looking forward to seeing how things pan out.
Looking forward to seeing if manly can match it with the students today
Souths all over eastwood in first 25-30 mins until jared barry absolutely sacked one of the Timani brothers (bloke didn't get up). Game changed pretty much straight after that, eastwood put on 2 tries after half time and put souths to bed

I have been watching Barry all year, whenever I had the chance, that is, and the guy is an absolute beast, in the best possible way. Not good enough, though, apparently.

Thanks. That would of been 2 big human beings coming together

Yes. You said 6 Super rugby players for Souths.
Timani 2x, Holloway, Volavola, Cummins, Horne
Eastwood have 4.
Robinson, Hilgendorf, Stannard, McCaffrey.

I don't want to be petty but stannard and hilgendorf were not contracted for 2013. Hilgendorf off memory was dragged into both tahs and Melbourne when injury hit but not sure he made it on field for either.
MMM are doing OK against the Students.
Tom Carter is a crowd favourite.
Easts have beaten Norths to stay in the hunt for another week.

What have Uni and the All Blacks have in common? No matter how many times they take the piss none of them get yellow carded. 1st half Uni give away several penalties in the Manly 22. Nothing. Manly down there + 1 penalty Reid off for 10 minutes. Are these guys accountable to anyone. Manly deserved to win that game.

Zander will take that and respond with, well then you got a loose one to win one (in a couple of weeks).
Nah just went to school today, we will bring more next time.
I will watch the game on the box - but if Jordy spent 10 in the bin why didn't any of the Uni players for the repeated infringements in the second half.
Home ahead for the full 80 minutes, and then a loss.
PS - I think a super 15 team can be beaten.

home from the Oval. cruel way for MMM to lose the game. the better team on the day lost.
1 thing was clearly evident though......no one likes Tom Carter.

lily absolutely correct. Manly very hard done by with the yellow.
they certainly have the goods to beat Uni if they stay in their faces and the ref stays out of theirs.
Uni need to get their rhythm and whoever can disrupt that has a chance.

Unlucky for Manly to lose that one. On the yellow, he had penalised them 2-3 times for not releasing the tackler, and just warned the Manly captain for that particular offence shortly prior to the YC, i.e. same offence, which is why I think he went yellow.
Uni committed several penalties in the first half, for differing offences, and copped the warning the second half for repeated not-releasing. I think that's why he went the way he did, but can't be sure. Uni seemed to get a bit of luck with that, I agree.
I got the feeling Manly ran out of puff a little in the last 10 mins of each half. Their defence was brutal - extremely aggressive on the ball, always competing. Huge effort. Manly 7 and 13 were beasts in particular.
Bloody good game to watch. Quality stuff.
Listen to the ref on TV and you'll hear his reasoning for going yellow prior to the card being given. Not saying I agree per se, but he is pretty clear.
