Gold Coast Titans vs South Sydney Rabbitohs prediction

The Gold Coast Titans (16th) showed fight in a narrow 30-26 loss to Penrith after being down 24-0. Rumours continue to swirl about the status of Head Coach Des Hasler for 2026 and these next few weeks could go a long way in determining how that plays out. What has been clear is that the effort levels that often drop off with sides not contending, has continued to be present.

The South Sydney Rabbitohs (17th) are last on the ladder, and on a nine-game losing streak after a 60-14 thrashing at the hands of the Brisbane Broncos. Their big off season signing is out of favour and it leaves Coach Wayne Bennett staring down the barrel of perhaps the first ever wooden spoon of his illustrious career.

Rabbitohs winger Alex Johnston has scored 14 tries in 12 matches against the Titans.

The Rabbitohs have a dominant record over the Titans, having won 17 of their 23 meetings, including the last nine. This clash looms as a potential wooden spoon decider. The Rabbitohs are languishing at the bottom, with their defensive struggles continuing to cost them. The Titans showed resilience in last weekend’s spirited comeback and should carry a slight edge at home, despite history not being on their side.
