South Sydney Rabbitohs vs North Queensland Cowboys Preview
Another enormous heavyweight clash with a ton at stake for both teams.
South Sydney slipped to seventh with just its second loss in eight games, getting edged late at home by Penrith in a game the Rabbitohs probably should have won. Just two points ahead of the Raiders and with a final-round showdown with the Roosters to come, Souths’ Top 8 spot is very much up in the air still.
North Queensland bounced back hard from its 32-18 loss to the Roosters in Sydney, swamping the Warriors 48-4. The Cowboys probably left four or five more tries out on the home patch but were nevertheless superb, destroying the visitors in the running metres department. But they need to keep winning to retain second spot.
Jaxson Paulo has paid the price for some clangers against the Panthers, with Izaac Thompson taking his spot on the wing. Thomas Burgess is back from injury at Daniel Suluka-Fifita’s expense, while Kodi Nikorima returns on the bench.
Tom Dearden’s testicle mishap sees Scott Drinkwater move to five-eighth for the Cowboys with Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow getting a run at fullback and Tom Gilbert coming onto the bench.
Souths are on a six-match winning streak against North Queensland, most recently running away with a 46-18 result in Newcastle in Round 17 last year with Alex Johnston and Taane Milne both scoring hat-tricks. This is the clubs’ first meeting in Sydney since 2015.
The Cowboys are a decent 4-2 interstate in 2022, while the Rabbitohs are 7-2 at Accor Stadium. Souths are difficult to get on-board with as 6.5-point favourites – this match should be of finals intensity and the result is a flip of the coin for me.
