Sydney Roosters vs South Sydney Rabbitohs Preview

On Friday night, the Sydney Roosters will be aiming to reverse a trend when they host the South Sydney Rabbitohs, who have recently dominated their rivals. Souths have won five of the last six iconic derby clashes, including a 30-14 victory at this venue during the 2022 finals series, which ended Sydney’s season.

In Round 2, both sides had differing fortunes. The Roosters recovered from a shock first-up defeat to the Raiders by posting a gritty 20-12 win over the Warriors, thanks to former Rabbitoh Jaxson Paulo crossing twice. In contrast, the Bunnies fell short against the Panthers, going down 16-10 despite a late fightback.

For the Roosters, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and Victor Radley will return, while Naufahu Whyte and Ben Thomas have been dropped. The inclusion of Waerea-Hargreaves and Radley will give the Roosters a boost in experience and leadership on the field. Meanwhile, Tevita Tatola and Hame Sele are big inclusions for the Rabbitohs’ forward pack, with Daniel Suluka-Fifita and Jed Cartwright missing out.

The upcoming clash between these two rivals promises to be an exciting and closely contested match. The Roosters will be looking to turn the tables on their recent losses to the Rabbitohs, while the Bunnies will be aiming to maintain their dominance over their rivals. With both sides eager for a win, fans can expect an intense and hard-fought match at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
