South Sydney Rabbitohs vs St. George Illawarra Dragons Preview
Accor Stadium sets the stage for a Thursday night showdown between long-time rivals, as South Sydney hunts a third consecutive win while St George Illawarra looks to restore pride after bowing out of finals contention. The Rabbitohs have rediscovered some resilience in defence, grinding out narrow victories over the Titans and Eels following a nine-game skid. Keaon Koloamatagi’s return provides a boost, though Latrell Mitchell remains sidelined.
The Dragons had built momentum with upset wins against Canberra and Cronulla, but last week’s 14-10 loss in Auckland came after three forwards were forced off with concussions. Tyrell Sloan and Blake Lawrie slot in to cover the gaps.
Souths edged the Round 2 meeting 25-24 thanks to a Jamie Humphreys field goal, and they’ve dominated this fixture at Accor, winning the past seven clashes. However, with their season already over, the Dragons’ more settled spine and recent form could tilt the balance their way.
