Newcastle Knights vs South Sydney Rabbitohs Preview
The Knights returned to winning form at the expense of the last-placed Titans in Round 16, but they face a task in making it two in a row when they host the Bunnies on Friday night.
It has been another season to forget for the Knights. No matter what they try, nothing seems to be working, their stars simply aren’t firing, and the end of the season cannot arrive quickly enough. Edrick Lee starred out of the wing last week, bagging an impressive five tries, but a repeat of that effort is completely reliant on the quality of ball he is fed, which will be a lot harder against Souths.
The Rabbitohs have been reasonably inconsistent recently, existing more than flourishing, but the return of Latrell Mitchell paid immediate dividends in Round 16, and they were nothing short of dominant against the Eels. This is a decent drop in class for them, and even without the likes of Damien Cook and Cameron Murray, I still think they’ll win comfortably.
