THE PREDICTION
This is a one-sided match on paper between the Rabbitohs and the Knights as the hosts are heavily favoured but the recent participation of a number of their players in the midweek Origin game could impact them. They have rested a couple of starters and will likely be cautious with the minutes of key men such as Latrell Mitchell so the -16 point handicap may be tough for them to overcome. The Knights however are coming off a 4-40 loss to the Eels and even with the Rabbitohs under-strength, they should still have far too much quality for them. Whether they beat the handicap though is another question.
