South Sydney Rabbitohs vs New Zealand Warriors Preview

South Sydney’s upset of Canterbury was its third win in four games and kept the Rabbitohs firmly in the finals race. Euan Aitken moves into the second row, while Latrell Mitchell has been named among the reserves as he pushes for a return after a lengthy absence. The Warriors arrive with three straight victories, including emphatic wins over Gold Coast and Brisbane around a statement result against Penrith. Their spine changes again, with Luke Hanson joining Chanel Harris-Tavita in the halves and Taine Tuaupiki starting at fullback. New Zealand has won its past two meetings with Souths at Accor Stadium, yet Alex Johnston’s 15 tries in 11 games against the Warriors remain a significant threat. The visitors’ powerful, consistent forward pack should provide the decisive advantage.
