South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Newcastle Knights Preview

The Newcastle Knights will be hoping Magic Round provides the spark to end their five-match losing streak when they face the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Souths started Wayne Bennett’s second stint as coach with promise but have since faltered, now sitting outside the top eight following a third straight defeat. Their latest setback came against Melbourne, losing 24-16, continuing their struggles against the Storm. The Knights, similarly, are in dire straits, lacking offensive cohesion and scoring just 36 points across their losing run, including a 26-12 defeat to the Warriors last week that saw them drop to 15th place. Souths will be without Latrell Mitchell due to suspension, with Jye Gray returning to fullback and Jack Wighton shifting to five-eighth. Euan Aitken will move to the centres, and Lachlan Hubner, Liam Le Blanc, and Fletcher Myers join the bench. Newcastle welcomes back Jacob Saifiti and Adam Elliott, with Tyrone Thompson and Thomas Cant making way.
