South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Brisbane Broncos Preview
Somewhat counterintuitively, the heavyweight Brisbane Broncos come into this Friday night showdown under more pressure than the second-last South Sydney Rabbitohs.
The Rabbitohs have finally gained some traction, recovering from a six-match losing streak and the sacking of their coach with back-to-back wins for the first time in more than a year either side of their Round 13 bye.
After breaking the drought with a 42-26 win over the Eels, they were dominant in a 46-12 win on the Gold Coast. Controversial star Latrell Mitchell was hugely influential in both matches, as was Cody Walker with marquee buy alongside him in the halves.
Theres more good news for Souths with Cameron Murray back from a six-week layoff; Siliva Havili is the player to make way.
The Broncos, meanwhile, are coming off consecutive defeats straddling the Round 13 bye. They gave up leads at Suncorp Stadium in losses to both the Titans (36-34) and the Sharks (22-12), with a concussed Reece Walsh missing the latter clash and the Broncos missing impetus from their spine.
The 2023 grand finalists have slipped to seventh with a 7-6 record and have some tough fixtures coming up through the Origin period its a crucial two points up for grabs this week.
Walsh remains sidelined with the Broncos only change seeing Xavier Willison coming in for Fletcher Baker on the bench.
The Broncos have won four of their last five against Souths, including a 28-18 result at Suncorp Stadium in Round 2. Only one of the rivals last eight clashes have been decided by less than 10 points.
Ignore their ladder positions and Souths overall 2024 struggles; the hosts are the value underdog of the round with Mitchell nearing his best again and chasing a NSW jersey, and the Broncos lamenting the absence of their No.1 spearhead.
