Wests Tigers vs South Sydney Rabbitohs Preview

Wests Tigers are making a beeline for a second straight wooden spoon, with an 18-14 cellar-dweller battle loss to St George Illawarra their seventh in a row.

But this week in Tamworth the 3-15 Tigers – $8.50 underdogs against heavyweights South Sydney – are bolstered by the return of Luke Brooks, Charlie Staines and Shawn Blore. Brandon Wakeham, Tommy Talau and Alex Seyfarth drop out.

The Rabbitohs will be relishing the opportunity to play a struggling team and slipping out of the Top 8 courtesy of six losses from their last eight games. After leading at halftime, they were overrun 36-20 by the Broncos last Friday – the seventh time in eight games they have conceded 28-plus points.

A late withdrawal from the Broncos clash, Latrell Mitchell is set to return for his first match since Round 12, Jed Cartwright replaces Tallis Duncan on the Rabbitohs’ interchange bench.

The Tigers lost few admirers after a 20-0 loss to the in-form Rabbitohs in Round 11, with the heavyweights only sealing the result with a couple of late tries as Taane Milne bagged a double.

It was the Tigers’ sixth loss in seven encounters with Souths.

This is simply too important for Souths to envisage them losing to a side that has averaged 13.5 points for and 30 points against in their last seven matches.

Don’t expect miracles from Latrell as he eases his way back, but the champion fullback’s return will provide the Bunnies with a major boost.
