Show Preview
NRL’s Anzac Round kicks off with premiers Penrith Panthers travelling to Sydney Olympic Park to take on the South Sydney Rabbitohs. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7.50pm AEST.
The Rabbitohs are high on confidence, scoring 84 points in their past two games en route to consecutive thrashings over the Dogs and Dolphins.
But they come up against the Panthers, who do not concede tries so easily even in what has been a season below par for them so far. Michael Chee Kam and Izaac Thompson return to the side, boosting the Rabbitohs chances of a victory.
After a get out of jail victory against the Knights, the Panthers will be aiming to get back to getting the basics right and dominate the opposition. Scott Sorensen is back in the starting lineup as Liam Martin is out due to a hamstring complaint, with Lindsay Smith being promoted to the bench.
While the Rabbitohs are back to their best attacking wise, their kryptonite tends to be the Panthers over the past few years. The Panthers rarely put in two poor performances in a row, especially when they have to take on the Rabbitohs. Expect the Panthers to come out firing and test the Rabbitohs resilience. Panthers by 8.
