South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Penrith Panthers Preview & Prediction

Souths will play their first game without Coach Jason Demetriou this Thursday night when they take on the Panthers at Accor Stadium. While it may be the start of positive signs to come for the Rabbits, temper you’re expectations this week – they still have to get passed the current reigning premiers.

To say it’s been grim for Souths would be quite the understatement, they’ve failed to cover the line in their last 14 straight games and given that the line is set at a massive 14.5 points this week, the bookies are predicting another thumping here.

Penrith are fielding a near full strength side this round and there will certainly be a fair few opportunities for the likes of Sunia Turuva and Brian To’o to find the white line. Sunia is currently equal first in the comp for most tries scored at eight and Bizza put had one of the greatest games of his career last week against the Cowboy, running for 227 metres, scoring a try and breaking a staggering 21 tackles.

It’s hard not to back anything but a Penrith thrashing here. Ivan Cleary’s men continue to set the standard in the NRL and the Rabbits have far too many glaring issues that won’t simply be resolved with the sacking of their coach less than 48 hours before kickoff.
