Screen Shot 2014-03-30 at 8.04.51 pmThe South Sydney Rabbitohs are on a two match losing streak and will be keen to bounce back into the winners circle against the Canberra Raiders at home. Join us for live scores and commentary from 2.00pm AEDT.

After a strong first round win over the Roosters, results have turned sour for South Sydney over the past fortnight and fans will be demanding a win against the Raiders today.

Losses to the Sea Eagles and Tigers once again raise questions about South Sydney’s ability to challenge for this year’s premiership.

The Rabbitohs famed forward pack has been outmuscled over the past fortnight and they will need to stand tall against a giant Raiders pack.

The names are certainly there for South Sydney but the performances from star forwards Sam and George Burgess are not quite up to scratch.

The performance of Adam Reynolds has also left a lot to be desired in recent weeks and he needs a big game today to keep himself in the frame for a NSW Origin jersey.

Overall, the Rabbitohs do have enormous problems when Greg Inglis does not play. From the moment he was knocked out last week, South Sydney fell apart and really didn’t look like a team capable of challenging for the title.

Thankfully for South Sydney, Inglis is fit to play today and should provide some much needed spark to a Rabbitohs attack that can pile on the points against Canberra.

The Raiders suffered a frustrating defeat at home to the Gold Coast last week and will once again look to get their season back on track with a big upset win.

Star fullback Anthony Milford once again remains the key for the Raiders today. If he fires, the Raiders are capable of causing South Sydney immense problems in attack.

If Milford stays quite, expect the Rabbitohs to secure their second win of the year.
