Winger Joel Reddy score first and bagged a double for the second time in only five appearances this year and after his game last week, it’s no surprise to see him retained in the starting line up again this week as part of backline that has plenty of points in them.
The only two losses the Rabbitohs have suffered in the past eight weeks have been at the hands of the Bulldogs and Storm, two teams that possess strong forward packs who have managed to keep the Souths forwards contained for the most part.
The Warriors also boast a big pack of forwards and this will be a good test for the Rabbitohs’ forwards.
WARRIORS
The Warriors continue to improve after a poor start to the season and registered their fourth win from the past five weeks with a 38 – 18 win over Newcastle last round.
The win makes it six for the year for the Warriors and whilst they are officially twelfth on the ladder, they are only one win behind their opponents this week who occupy fourth spot!
The Warriors have built good momentum over the past month and have scored a whopping twenty-three tries in the past four matches but the Rabbitohs will be a good test on just how far they’ve come, especially when having to make the long trip from New Zealand to Perth.
The Warriors will go into this match with the same squad that was successful over the Titans in
HEAD TO HEAD
South Sydney won both clashes between this two clubs last year but margins of 2 and 17 points. They were the first victories over the Warriors in two seasons.
The last four matches have produced a total match score over 43 points or greater. With plenty of points in both sides, the Overs at 41.5 looks appealing.
Warriors Captain Simon Mannering scored a double last week and has bagged three tries in the past three matches at against the Rabbitohs.
The $4.33 about him to cross at any stage in this game, has some form around it.
