The Rabbitohs got the better of their bitter rivals (Roosters) last week and it was Latrell Mitchell who did the damage late by setting up a spectacular try. The Cowboys were just as impressive in a come from behind win over the Panthers and the neutral venue (Perth) combined with Rabbitohs injuries has seen them installed as the favourites.

Best Bet
After decades of unrivalled success one would think that we would have more faith in Wayne Bennett. Despite being written off by all the critics, they have won 4 of their first 5 games and are a perfect 5-0 at the line.
They have held their opponents to fewer than 20ppg and the Wayne Bennett brand of football is paying dividends. They rank in the top 5 in completion rate , 16th in offloads and have made the third fewest errors per game.
It is a simple formula, and it works. Jye Gray will hold the fullback spot for now and rightly so as he leads the NRL in run metres with 222.3m per game. The Rabbitohs tough brand of footy combined with the polish of Latrell Mitchell in the attacking zone will be enough to get them the win.
Same Game Multi
A 6-3 line record in their last 9 games following a win is evidence that the Rabbitohs have the ability of stringing together a series of results.
The Under has held on in all five of their games played this season and is also 7-2 in their 9 games following a win in the last year.
With respect to tryscorers, look no further than Alex Johnston. He has scored at least once in 4 of his last 5 games against the Cowboys.
Value Bet
Injuries have limited Alex Johnston’s playing time in the last year but when he is on the field, he is prolific. The Rabbitohs have scored the opening try three times his season compared to only once for the Cowboys and with Latrell taking Cody Walker’s role down the left, Alex Johnston will be the main beneficiary. He is a play in all tryscorer markets – anytime, two or more and first.
