South Sydney\u2019s\u00a0defence\u00a0was superb last week to absorb a mountain of pressure in the opening stages v Canterbury. To then march down the field and\u00a0immediately\u00a0cash in themselves through David Fifita summed up the Rabbitohs dominance in NRL Round 24; the best performance\u00a0we\u2019ve\u00a0seen from Wayne Bennett\u2019s men in a while.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The timing\u00a0couldn\u2019t\u00a0be better here given New Zealand have played a similar brand of footy – only\u00a0they\u2019ve\u00a0done it for the length of the regular season.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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.\u00a0The loss of Luke Metcalf (injured) and Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad (suspended) comes at\u00a0a difficult time\u00a0for\u00a0New Zealand\u00a0and I like Souths to take their chances and make this interesting.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prediction<\/strong>: South Sydney Rabbitohs to Cover the Line (+3.5) @ $1.90<\/p>\n

Anytime Tryscorer:<\/strong> Alex Johnston @ $1.83, Alex Johnston to Score 2 Tries or More @ $3.60<\/p>\n
