South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Dolphins prediction
South Sydney Rabbitohs will face a significant challenge against a Dolphins side riding the crest of a wave following successive NRL wins. Kristian Woolf’s side know they are up against a dangerous team but an inconsistent one, with the Rabbitohs having won two and lost three of their last five games.
The Dolphins are humming right now and have the familiarity of playing on their home field despite it being shared across the weekend. They’ve given up just 22 points across the past two rounds and that defensive solidity should lay down the foundations for a third consecutive victory, which is well worth backing.
