Team List Tuesday – Junior & Taane In
The Rabbitohs released some welcome news for fans this afternoon when Junior Tatola was named to make an early return from injury to the starting side. Record breaking winger Alex Johnston will have the week off due to a head knock so the experienced Taane Milne has been named to replace him on Good Friday against the Bulldogs.
After 5 rounds Souths sit 13th on the ladder with 2 wins and 3 losses. 78 total points scored against 84 conceded gives the Rabbits a -6 differential. These underwhelming figures mean that the club needs wins and points sooner rather than later. Needless to say Friday is a big game even at this early point in the season.
The 8th placed Bulldogs have 3 wins, 2 losses but their differential of -8 shows they aren’t exactly lightning up the scoreboard either. A costly golden point win over the Cowboys on Sunday saw the blue and whites suffer injuries to a number of key players. The Rabbitohs will meet the rejuvenated Doggies at a good time, they are ripe for the picking.
The South Sydney Rabbitohs are pleased to announce their squad for round six of the 2023 NRL Premiership against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs to be played this Good Friday 7 April at 4:05pm at Accor Stadium.
Latrell Mitchell 150th
Rabbitohs fullback Latrell Mitchell is set to play his 150th NRL game on Friday. Mitchell made his NRL debut against the Rabbitohs in round one, 2016. Friday’s match will be the 54th first grade game for South Sydney for the Australian, New South Wales and Indigenous All Stars representative player.
This match is a reciprocal rights match for Rabbitohs Ticketed Members. All that Ticketed Members of the Rabbitohs need to do to attend this game is follow the instructions on the back of their Membership Card.

Team List Tuesday – Junior & Taane In
By Steve Mavin for Bunnies TV.
I’m not a big fan of Milne. He has a bad habit of hitting high around the head in tackles that result in a penalty and sin bin. We can’t afford for him to be reckless in the tackle. Would of liked to have seen one of our juniors get a shot on the wing like kalo kalo or Munroe.
Our defence needs to get in the face of Burton and stop those Nuclear Bombs he drops on everyone. I do admit though they are exciting when he launches them, Defon 3 ⚠️ 📢.
