Mitchell Moses has steered the Wests Tigers to an convincing 16-point win over the struggling Rabbitohs.
Final score:
Wests Tigers 30
South Sydney Rabbitohs 14
Friday night footy sees the Wests Tigers face the South Sydney Rabbitohs in a cross-town battle at ANZ Stadium. Join The Roar from 7:50pm (AEST) for live coverage.
Robbie Farah returns to add experience to the Tigers, after they went down to the Roosters 32-18 last Sunday in wet conditions.
Halves Mitchell Moses and Luke Brooks failed to provide any spark in that match, James Tedesco carrying the struggling team.
The Rabbitohs also experienced heartache last week, after Ashley Taylor buried them in golden point to give the Titans a 29-28 win in Perth.
A positive to come out of the match was rookie Siosifa Talakai scoring a try with his first touch in first grade. Talakai has been named to back up in an unchanged team coming off a five-day turnaround.
Cody Walker will once again play at fullback after Greg Inglis made the switch to five-eighth. The skipper will be crucial for the Rabbitohs and needs to be prominent in attack.
In 27 meetings between the two clubs, the Bunnies have won 25 matches while Wests have been victorious on 12 occasions, including their last meeting, a 30-22 victory in Round 9 of this year.
Prediction
South Sydney will be determined after going down in such heartbreaking circumstances last week.
Rabbitohs by 10.
