NRL Tips – Rabbitohs v Roosters

Souths will honour Jai Arrow in what will be an emotional event at Allianz and against a Roosters team with 10 starters sitting out, the Bunnies are set to win this by plenty.

Everything about this game suggests South Sydney will win this by plenty.

Roosters coach Trent Robinson has decided to rest most of the Roosters starters and with Sam Walker injured, the white flag has been flown here. Expect even more senior players to have limited minutes.

Souths will also be up for this game – and not only because of the hatred between the two sides. The Rabbitohs will honour Jai Arrow for his 100th game in front of a packed house that will have every Bunny keen to keep the foot on the throat. Souths will also be looking to get Alex Johnston the tryscoring title this year.

Numbers mean nothing in this one. This is about personnel. This is about emotion. And Souths have the unquestioned advantage in both.

Latrell Mitchell returns to the starting side for the first time since Round 11. He has scored in six of his nine starts this year.

Cody Walker has eight tries this year and as one of Jai Arrow’s closest friends will be going all out for a try.

David Fifta has been in wonderful tryscoring form with five tries in his last 10 games.

In 2020, these teams met in the final round of the season with Alex Johnston chasing the tryscoring crown. The Rabbitohs fed Johnston all night and got him five tries. With Johnston in a head-to-head matchup with Tom Jenkins for the 2026 crown, we can expect something similar here. Johnston has multi-score games in four of the last 11 against the Roosters. He is a great bet to fillup in this one.
