South Sydney need a big scalp and New Zealand would be just that but they won’t find it easy as the injuries continue to pile up at a rapid rate.

Alex Johnston is the latest Rabbitoh to find himself sidelined by injury and while winger rarely count for that much, his absence leaves the Rabbitohs without three of their starting three-quarter line to go with Jai Arrow.

The culmination of the outs – combined with a thin roster and the failure of the two highest-paid players to perform – is making it tough sledding for Souths, particularly in regards scoring.

It is much better news for the Warriors. Key fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad is back, as is Marata Niukore.

With so much chopping and changing and a horrid weather forecast, the top bet in the match is the under.

The under hits at 62.2% when a home underdog is off a win in the opening two months of the season the last four years. The under is also 4-1 when Souths play a day game at Accor and 22-15 when they are off conceding 16 or fewer.

The under is also 26-13 when the Warriors play day games while it is 27-18 when they are off scoring 20 or fewer.

There is no way the total starts 40.5 so jump on quickly.

Dallin Watene-Zelezniak has scored just twice this year but the return of ball player Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad should unlock him.

Jack Wighton comes off a two-try performance against the Bulldogs and he will get plenty of it in wet conditions.

Souths have a very soft underbelly and there is no better player to exploit it than Wayde Egan. Egan is one of the most creative rakes in the NRL. He has been a pretty good tryscorer too with 10 tries across the last three seasons. He is a huge price to get across this week.
