Sydney Roosters vs South Sydney Rabbitohs Preview

The NRL’s fiercest rivalry resumes at Allianz Stadium with both clubs entering under different circumstances. The Roosters were well beaten in a 42-18 loss to the Warriors, undone by ill-discipline and a heavy penalty count that stalled their attack.

South Sydney opened their campaign with a 40-30 win over the Dolphins, with Latrell Mitchell and Cody Walker leading an entertaining attacking display and new recruit David Fifita making an immediate impact.

The Roosters have dominated recent derbies, winning five of the past six meetings and holding a strong record at Allianz Stadium since its redevelopment. With both teams boasting attacking firepower, discipline and field position could prove the key factors in another high-intensity chapter of this historic rivalry.
