Wests Tigers vs South Sydney Rabbitohs Preview
The Rabbitohs are one of the most in-form sides in the competition right now and it is no surprise to find them as heavy -20 favourites on Sunday against the Tigers at Leichardt.
Wayne Bennett’s men rattled off three impressive victories over the Eels, Knights and Broncos before the bye, although it’s fair to say they’ll be eager to prove a point against the Tigers after prevailing in overtime when the two sides met back in Round 6.
Wests come into this game on the back of two straight losses, and while they have proven to be a frisky opponent at times, it’s hard to ignore the Tigers’ embarrassing defensive effort two weeks ago in their 66-16 loss to the Storm.
Michael Maguire has no doubt spent the extra week searching for answers, but this is another defensive nightmare for the coach with the likes of Latrell Mitchell and Alex Johnston lining up opposite.
With an interesting game ahead next week against the Cowboys, look for the Bunnies to make a statement.
