South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Sydney Roosters Preview

The anticipation around this traditional final-round clash has been diminished by South Sydney’s poor season and Sydney Roosters’ injury woes just before the finals. A 14-12 defeat to Canberra, marked by a last-minute try and a missed conversion, likely cost the Roosters a second-place finish and saw key players like Sam Walker, Brandon Smith, and potentially Victor Radley sidelined.

With Nat Butcher also out and Daniel Tupou rested, the Roosters introduce new faces, including Fetalaiga Pauga on the wing and Sandon Smith at halfback. The Rabbitohs, on a six-game losing streak and struggling without Latrell Mitchell and Cameron Murray, have also lost Jack Wighton, with Dean Hawkins stepping in.

Despite their injuries, the Roosters, who have won their last three derbies against the Rabbitohs, including a 48-6 win earlier this year, should have enough depth to handle their rivals, who seem to be marking time until the offseason.
