South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Wests Tigers Preview


The Tigers had an excellent 44-16 victory over the Cowboys last week, but I'm backing them to come back to earth by going down to the Rabbitohs. Souths to cover and the game to stay under 54.5 total points.
  • Rabbitohs have won 9 of the last 11 meetings between the teams
  • Rabbitohs have covered a -5.5 line in 7 of those 9 wins
  • Tigers have lost their last 4 games at Polytec Stadium
  • Only 34 points were scored when these sides met last season
  • 4 of the last 5 meetings have seen Under 54.5 total points
  • Latrell Mitchell scored a double in R1 & will be a threat on Souths' left edge vs inexperienced Tigers backline

Rabbitohs vs Tigers Head To Head

Rabbitohs have dominated recent matchups with the Tigers and came away 22-12 winners last season.

South Sydney Rabbitohs Back After Crazy Scenes

Decent start to the season for the Bunnies. Wayne Bennett's side put 40 points on the Dolphins on the road, with Campbell Graham and Latrell scoring doubles.

The stage was set for AJ to break the tryscoring record against the Roosters last week and he delivered, scoring his 213th NRL try just after half-time, which caused the game to be postponed as fans stormed the ground in celebrations.

Souths couldn't complete a comeback when play resumed - they were in it right until the final play, when James Tedesco scored off a grubber as the Rabbitohs went down 26-18.

Wests Tigers Enjoy Perfect Start

Pretty much the perfect start to the season at Tigerland. Coming up against an atrocious Cowboys side on a dry track at Leichhardt, the Tigers came away with a dominant 44-16 victory.

Kai-Pearce Paul showcased why he was one of the most underrated off-season recruits as he crossed for a double, while Jarome Luai and Adam Doueihi combined superbly in the halves.

The Tigers look a tight-knit group and will be hoping to improve on last year, which saw a promising start fade as the season went on.

Wests Tigers Team News

Big blow last week as Taylan May went off with a shoulder injury, which sees Jeral Skelton start in the backline.
