Preview:
Back-to-back losses suddenly have the Rabbitohs in jeopardy of slipping down to third on the ladder this week.
South Sydney’s loss to the Knights last Friday came at full strength following Origin, and while the Bunnies came close on the scoreboard, coach Wayne Bennett must feel displeased with his side’s effort outside of the opening and closing 10-minutes.
As for the Panthers, suddenly Penrith looks a worthwhile upset chance. Two wins on the trot have the Panthers clear of wooden spoon territory, but they’ll need to be at their best on the road this week if they wish to make up for their four-point loss to the Rabbits back in Round 7.
Credit where credit is due, Penrith’s pair of wins over Manly and the Roosters weren’t cheap. Defensively the Panthers have been brilliant over the last three weeks holding all three opponents to under 20-points, largely due to the fact they lead the league in tackles.
Of course, with the good comes the bad. The Panthers also lead the league in missed tackles, which should spell trouble against the Bunnies this week. Damien Cook has carved up the middle of the field all season, leading the Bunnies to rank second in points and tries scored.
With a perfect 3-0 record as the home favourite against the Panthers, back South Sydney to win easily.
