Rabbitohs Round Up
NRL
The Rabbitohs have the week off following their Charity Shield loss to the Dragons. The suspension of Lewis Dodd has undoubtedly opened the door for Jamie Humphreys to grab the number seven jersey in round 1 against the Dolphins.
The Bunnies will certainly be hoping that injured stars Campbell Graham, Jai Arrow and Junior tatola will be ready for the season opener.

Starting props Maddax Fui and Johannes Logan return this week and Caelis Samuel gets another start in the 2nd row after he was impressive in his first game back. Coach Nathan Hogan has named an unchanged backline and Daniel Lua is also back on the bench.
