South Sydney Rabbitohs take on New Zealand Warriors at Accor Stadium this Saturday, 22nd August at 5:30 PM AEST. Here’s everything you need to know before you bet.
South Sydney’s defence was superb last week to absorb a mountain of pressure in the opening stages v Canterbury. To then march down the field and immediately cash in themselves through David Fifita summed up the Rabbitohs dominance in NRL Round 24; the best performance we’ve seen from Wayne Bennett’s men in a while.
The timing couldn’t be better here given New Zealand have played a similar brand of footy – only they’ve done it for the length of the regular season.
All of a sudden one of the premiership heavyweights, we get to see how the Wahs handle the pressure of expectation here, and for the next few weeks. The loss of Luke Metcalf (injured) and Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad (suspended) comes at a difficult time for New Zealand and I like Souths to take their chances and make this interesting.
Prediction: South Sydney Rabbitohs to Cover the Line (+3.5) @ $1.90
Anytime Tryscorer: Alex Johnston @ $1.83, Alex Johnston to Score 2 Tries or More @ $3.60
