South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Melbourne Storm Preview

With their Top 8 hopes fading, the South Sydney Rabbitohs host the Melbourne Storm, who are eager to bounce back from an unexpected loss. Souths’ recent form has been inconsistent, with three defeats in their last four games, including a 20-6 loss to Cronulla last week. Cody Walker returns from injury, but the absence of Latrell Mitchell still hurts their attack.

Melbourne’s impressive seven-game winning streak ended with an 18-16 defeat to St George Illawarra. Despite standout performances from Harry Grant and Cameron Munster, the Storm struggled against a resilient Dragons defense. Tui Kamikamica’s return and Nelson Asofa-Solomona’s move to the second row are key adjustments for Melbourne.

The Rabbitohs have managed a couple of wins against the Storm recently but were thrashed 54-20 in their last encounter. With Souths battling injuries and form issues, the Storm are well-positioned to secure a comfortable victory.
