South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Melbourne Storm prediction
It’s difficult for South Sydney Rabbitohs to be at their best when they are missing game-changing personnel, not least your captain. Canberra Raiders proved too strong for them last weekend, but their last game at home did end in victory against Newcastle Knights in a 26-24 thriller. Melbourne Storm though, will be smelling blood and have a point to prove after recent road struggles.
Offensively, the Storm have been pitiful on their travels lately, recording single figures away to both Sydney Roosters and Manly Sea Eagles. But taking on a Rabbitohs side not at full-strength represents a huge opportunity for the visitors to turn their away fortunes around and backing them may wind up a smart move.
