South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Newcastle Knights prediction
The ‘World’s Biggest Birthday Party’ will be hosted by South Sydney Rabbitohs on Sunday as they celebrate Jai Arrow’s 31st with victory against Newcastle Knights on a day set to be full of festivities. The best way for the Rabbitohs to celebrate Jai will be by beating the Knights and following consecutive defeats, expect them to respond with a big performance.
Newcastle Knights are in far better form, winning each of their last three games. But the emotion of this particular occasion shouldn’t be taken for granted and it would be no surprise if we saw a much-improved Rabbitohs. With that in mind, backing South Sydney may prove the smart play.
