- Location: Accor Stadium
Game Overview
South Sydney Rabbitohs and Penrith Panthers face off in Round 4, with the Panthers looking to bounce back from a two-game losing streak despite injury issues.
Key Factors to Consider
- South Sydney started strongly but fell to the Sharks last week, while Penrith, despite their losing streak, remain a formidable side due to their strong team structure. South Sydney must exploit Penrith's shaky defence to stay in the contest.
- Penrith has a dominant record against South Sydney, winning nine of their last eleven regular season matches. However, South Sydney sees an opportunity to reverse this trend with key Panthers players missing.
- Penrith is without Nathan Cleary and Dylan Edwards, while South Sydney welcomes back Alex Johnston but loses Campbell Graham. These injuries weaken Penrith's spine significantly.
- The match is at Accor Stadium, which does not particularly favor either team, but the Panthers' system and squad depth are significant factors.
- Both teams have strong motivation to win, but Penrith seeks to halt their losing streak and prove they can perform without key players.
