THE TEAM NEWS

SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS

• South Sydney Rabbitohs have arguably cemented themselves as Premiership favourites after making it five successive wins thanks to a comfortable victory over Melbourne Storm last week.
• The Rabbits have defeated the Storm, top of the ladder Brisbane Broncos and reigning premiers Penrith Panthers in their last three outings and it is little surprise that they retain the same 17 for this contest.

Starting 13: L. Mitchell, Johnston, Tass, Graham, Milne, Walker, Ilias, Tatola, Cook, Sele, Chee Kam, Host, Murray – Interchanges: Arrow, Cartwright, Knight, Burgess – Reserves: Taaffe, Kennar

Unavailable: Siliva Havili (Injured), Shaquai Mitchell (Injured), Keaon Koloamatangi (Injured)

WESTS TIGERS

• Wests Tigers made it back-to-back victories as they edged a tense affair with St. George Illawarra Dragons last week but this will be an almighty challenge for them.
• Wests will hope that they have turned the corner but will find it tough to make it three straight wins, although John Bateman will be back in the side after he was a late scratch before the Dragons game.

Starting 13: Bula, Nofoaluma, To’a, Talau, Tupou, Wakeham, Brooks, Utoikamanu, Koroisau, Klemmer, Papali’i, Bateman, Pole – Interchanges: Simpkin, Ofahengaue, Twal, Kepaoa – Reserves: Blore, Seyfarth

Unavailable: Adam Doueihi (Injured), Charlie Staines (Injured)

THE PREDICTION

South Sydney Rabbitohs have been superb of late and will take some stopping having defeated some of their major rivals in recent weeks. They have won their last five and will be confident of claiming another success here as they take on Wests Tigers. After going so long without a win, the Tigers have now won their last two but this is a different challenge altogether and the quality of Souths should get them home by a winning margin of 13+ points.
