South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Melbourne Storm Preview

South Sydney will be chasing a rare win over Melbourne when the two sides meet at Accor Stadium on Saturday night. The Storm have dominated this rivalry, boasting a commanding 35-7 head-to-head record, including a 24-16 win on ANZAC Day earlier this season.

Melbourne arrive fresh off the bye and a convincing 38-14 win over the Cowboys, with all five Origin stars named to back up. Their only change is Bronson Garlick replacing Ativalu Lisati on the bench, underlining their continuity and depth.

For the Rabbitohs, it’s another tough assignment—marking their fourth straight match against a top-four opponent. Injuries have hit hard, with Jye Gray, Jayden Sullivan and Keaon Koloamatangi all sidelined. Latrell Mitchell is expected to back up from Origin, while Lewis Dodd gets the nod at five-eighth and Davvy Moale shifts into the starting role.

With form, fitness, and history on their side, Melbourne will start deserved favourites.
