Show Preview

Magic Round Super Saturday’s triple header ends with a blockbuster clash between the Melbourne Storm and the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Suncorp Stadium. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7:45pm (AEST).

These two sides met earlier in the season, with the Storm leaving Sydney Olympic Park with a victory after grinding out a tough victory by eight points. There are no major changes for Craig Bellamy’s men, with Eli Katoa set to play after suffering a head knock on Anzac Day.

Following the loss to the Storm, the Rabbitohs have found a spark within their squad. Latrell Mitchell is getting himself more involved in games, while they are capable of exploiting defensive chinks across all areas. Their most impressive trait is their defence, conceding the second-least amount of points for the season so far.

Davvy Moale will miss this clash through injury, while Liam Knight is set to return to the NRL for his first appearance this year coming off the bench.

Prediction

Suncorp Stadium has been home away from home for the Storm, but this was the same ground where they faced heartbreak in the 2021 preliminary final, while a heavy loss to the Panthers in the 2022 Magic Round was the beginning of the Storm’s season derailment despite a few mini attempts to revive their season.

The Rabbitohs are on a four-match winning streak and look more threatening as a premiership contender as each week goes on.
