PENRITH PANTHERS VS SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS PREDICTION
Penrith Panthers need to find a way to win here after losing their last two. Their spot in the top four is far from secure with the teams below them all applying pressure on the run-in but they are likely to be too good here. South Sydney Rabbitohs have been turgid for a large portion of the season and a sixth successive defeat is on the cards here.
