South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Sydney Roosters Preview

South Sydney can secure a home elimination final against a dramatically reshaped Roosters side at Allianz Stadium. The Rabbitohs strengthened their position with a 42-22 victory over Gold Coast and welcome Latrell Mitchell into the starting centres, while Jye Gray takes over at fullback and Tallis Duncan is rested. Jai Arrow is listed at five-eighth for his 100th club appearance before Cody Walker’s anticipated interchange role. The Roosters are protecting numerous first-choice players ahead of their qualifying final, including James Tedesco, Daly Cherry-Evans, Reece Robson and Siua Wong, while Sam Walker remains sidelined by an ankle injury. Sydney won the Round 2 meeting 26-18 and has dominated much of the recent rivalry, but the scale of its selection changes gives South Sydney a clear opportunity to control possession and territory.
