South Sydney may sit just outside the NRL’s top four, but you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone outside of Redfern who rates them as a genuine premiership contender.
After a blistering 10-1 start, the Rabbitohs have lost seven of their last ten – the worst of which arguably being a try-less loss to the Bulldogs at ANZ Stadium on the weekend.
Where has it gone wrong for Souths over the last few months and how can they fix it time for finals?
We were joined by Roar NRL expert and editor Scott Pryde to diagnose where it’s gone wrong for Wayne Bennett’s men and whether they can turn things around before it’s too late.
Listen to the discussion:
Injuries and suspension may have wreaked havoc on Souths this season, but there’s a lot more at play as to why they haven’t been able to capture their pre-Origin form.

But Wayne Bennett has a habit of getting his sides raring to go at finals time – can he weave some more magic here?
