The South Sydney Rabbitohs take on the North Queensland Cowboys on Super Saturday 7.30pm at Accor Stadium and the Rabbitohs Fan TV team will be there to host the post match function in the P&O Members Deck.
A win by the currently 7th placed Souths will seal their finals berth and most likely see the club finish between 5th and 8th positions depending on results in the last round.
A loss on Saturday night will put our season on the line and present the Raiders with a chance to push us as low as ninth and out the back door if we happen to lose to the Roosters next week and the Green Machine win their last 2 games against Manly and the Tigers.
The 8th placed Broncos play the Eels then the Dragons so their finals destiny is in their hands too.
The reality is that in order for the Bunnies to win this competition they will need to just about win every game from here to the Grand Final. It’s a tough ask but this team has shown they can compete with anyone so they simply just have to go out and get the job done.
The South Sydney Rabbitohs are pleased to announce their NRL squad for round 24 against the North Queensland Cowboys at Accor Stadium to be played this Saturday 27 August at 7:35pm in the Club’s Member Appreciation Round.
Rabbitohs Head Coach Jason Demetriou has named Izaac Thompson to return from injury on the wing with Hame Sele to start in the front row in his 50th NRL game. Kodi Nikorima and Thomas Burgess will also return from injury this week on the interchange bench.
