Rabbitohs vs Panthers Round 26 Tips – 30/08/24

South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Penrith Panthers NRL Round 26 betting tips. Our expert NRL tipster previews Friday’s game at Penrith Stadium.

The Rabbitohs are heading out west to try and tackle the Panthers at Penrith Stadium on Friday. The Bunnies lost again last week to the Knights. South Sydney just wants this season to be over so they can start again next year under new coach, Wayne Bennett.

The Panthers have also hit a rough patch of form after suffering an upset loss to the Canberra Raiders. With that loss, Penrith is out of minor premiership contention.

Prediction: Panthers to Win

The Panthers aren’t the same team without their star halfback, Nathan Cleary. However, the Rabbitohs are one of the worst teams in the whole competition and are also missing their star try scorer, Latrell Mitchell. South Sydney is in atrocious form and has now lost 5 games in a row.

If a team like the Knights, who have the worst attack in the NRL, can score 36 against the Rabbitohs, then surely the Panthers can put up enough points to win the game.

Winning Margin: Panthers 12+

The Rabbitohs have lost 4 of their last 5 games by 12 points or more. South Sydney looks mentally checked out and is going to really struggle playing against one of the best teams in the NRL away from home. To make matters worse, the Panthers have one of the best defensive lines in the competition, giving up less than 17 points per game.
