The final game of the shortened round looks a lob-sided affair with competition leaders South Sydney, taking on St. George who have lost their last three games and five of their last six.
South Sydney made it five wins in a row with victory over New Zealand in Perth in their most recent match two weeks ago.
Coming from a 13 – 6 deficit at half-time, the Rabbithos registered 24 unanswered points in the second half to record a comfortable 30 – 6 win.
They face St. George here whom they have beaten the last three times the sides have met by margins of 10, 1 and in their most recent clash in round 20 of last year, 22 points.
The Rabbitohs have displayed in their sixteen wins this year, that they are capable of leading, running opponents down or toughing it out a close finish.
It’s hard to find a chink in their armour and would think if there is one, the struggling St. George are not the team to find or exploit it.
It’s been a horrendous season for the Dragons who with five wins this season, sit above only Parramatta on the competition ladder.
Expecting the Rabbitohs to make it, quite comfortably, six wins in a row.
