Sturt are coming off a thumping win over Port, while South continued their undefeated start to the season over Sturt. Who will come away with the win this week?

South should continue their form and win by 17. If their are any South supporters out there then they would have to turn up this week. Is there a bandwaggon ?

Well I for one will be there. However, I dont share the same optimism as others, I think this will be a tough game. South will be down a couple at least, Bass leaves a fairly sizeable hole in the ruck and its important to win the clearances at a ground that is not much bigger than the average backyard. Sturt seem to be going along pretty well with their recruits beginning to gel; however Im tipping the Panthers by 12 points in a real tussle.

I would expect Sturt to win on the form they have shown over the last couple of weeks, Bass to be a big loss for south, it will be interesting to see how they cover the players that will be missing, The South reserves have been going alright this year from the games I have seen so they will be a chance for a few players to come into the league side.

This should be a good game and a big test for South. I agree with William that Bass will be a big loss to cover. There are a couple of other useful players out, Irra's run will be missed.
I think the Double Blues at home by 7 points

A comfortable win by the Blues in the end. I seriously underestimated them at the beginning of the year. Mattner has them going nicely.
