South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Cronulla Sharks Preview & Prediction
The Rabbitohs and Sharks collide in a match that could have huge finals implications at Optus Stadium in Perth on Saturday night.
If the Cowboys and Knights, who are both playing earlier on Saturday against the Broncos and Dolphins, both win, then the Rabbitohs and Sharks will be in eighth and ninth spot on the ladder at kick-off.
If that occurs, then the loser of this game will be languishing outside the top eight heading into Round 24, so it goes without saying this is a hugely significant contest.
Cronulla are in free-fall with three straight defeats heading into this encounter. The Sharks have conceded 102 points in that period and failed to score a single point themselves in a 28-0 loss to the Panthers last week.
Now the Sharks come up against the team that knocked them out of last year’s finals series.
South Sydney have also been through a rough patch, but that was due to injuries and the Origin period. The Rabbitohs have a full-strength team at their disposal for the first time since the first two months of the season, with Latrell Mitchell’s return a huge boost.
The Rabbitohs were far from perfect last week, but they got the job done in a 32-18 victory, with Alex Johnston bagging himself a hat-trick.
VERDICT
The Rabbitohs have won four of their last five games against the Sharks and with their big names back on deck, they should be emerging victorious again.
Cronulla are in shambles right now, both in attack and defence. Tough to see them turning it around against one of the NRL’s best attacking units here. Backing Souths to win and Johnston to bag himself at least one more four-pointer (Best Rabbitohs win H2H & Alex Johnston anytime tryscorer odds $1.67 with bet365.)
