Brisbane Broncos vs South Sydney Rabbitohs Preview
The pressure is heaping on South Sydney and they face a difficult task with so many outs with key forward Jai Arrow joining the long list of absentees that includes Campbell Graham and Jack Wighton.
Brisbane are far more settled and probably somewhat steeled after the attack on Ezra Mam.
This is a nice spot for the Broncos too, they cover at a clip of 75% at Suncorp off a loss and have covered 11 of 14 off a double digit defeat.
They received some positive news with Brendan Piakura likely to play though the lack of an edge forward on the bench does cause some concern with Willison or Hunt hopefully joining the 17.
The Souths edges were carved up by Manly and Brisbanes edges are far more lethal.
Kotoni Staggs gets a sensational matchup against defensively deficient Richie Kennar and Staggs has six tries in seven games against the Bunnies.
Selwyn Cobbo gets a similarly positive matchup and comes off scoring three tries in his last three against the Bunnies.
