Show Preview
Round 21 of the NRL premiership continues tonight when the South Sydney Rabbitohs take on the Brisbane Broncos at Sunshine Coast Stadium. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 8pm (AEST).
We get a battle tonight between two teams with top 4 aspirations. Whilst the Broncos are already sitting in that bracket, the Rabbitohs need to string some wins together, starting with this match.
The Rabbitohs enjoyed the bye last week but suffered a 4 point loss to the Bulldogs the round before. The result carried a big asterisk however, with South Sydney decimated by Origin and injury. That won’t be the case in this game.
The Rabbitohs have a pack boasting some underrated props and exceptional back row. Cameron Murray and Damien Cook will look to create some momentum in the ruck. From there, Cody Walker can weave his magic.
There are some massive inclusions for the Rabbitohs. Latrell Mitchell, Campbell Graham and Jai Arrow all return from injury. Origin stars Keaon Koloamatangi, Walker, Cook and Murray also return to what becomes a very strong line up.
The Broncos have nicely negotiated the Origin period. They eventually coasted to a 44-24 win over the Bulldogs last weekend, which was a potential banana skin given the retirement of Josh Reynolds.
Whilst Brisbane do have a star studded pack and backline, it is Adam Reynolds who is holding this team together. His kicking game is first class and the Broncos are a legitimate premiership chance with him.
The Broncos get their fair share of big inclusions as well, with Reece Walsh and Payne Haas returning from suspension and injury respectively. Patrick Carrigan also returns after getting a rest from the Bulldogs game.
In retrospect, the Rabbitohs may have preferred that this game be played at Accor Stadium rather than on the Sunshine Coast Stadium.
The battle up front will go a long way to decide this one. I don’t think there will be much in it, but Adam Reynolds’ kicking game will give the Broncos a bit more ball in the attacking zone. That should be enough. Broncos by 2
