Dolphins vs South Sydney Rabbitohs Tips and Prediction


The Dolphins attack was one of the most dangerous in the league last season and this matchup gives them another chance to start fast.

How this game shapes up


South Sydney should be stronger this year with most of their key players back on the field.

But combinations take time and defence has been an issue for this squad for a while.

The Dolphins are already settled in attack and averaged 30 points per game last season. When their backline starts shifting the ball they can turn games quickly.

At home they should have enough firepower to edge this.

Best Bets


Dolphins -1.5


The Dolphins have covered three straight games against South Sydney and finished last season as the highest scoring team in the NRL. If this turns into an attacking contest their strike players should create the difference.

Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow Anytime Tryscorer


Tabuai-Fidow is one of the most prolific finishers in the league. He scored four tries in his last matchup against South Sydney and crossed 22 times across his last 17 games. If the Dolphins attack clicks he is usually involved.

What could go wrong?


South Sydney still have a dangerous forward pack and if they dominate territory the Dolphins might struggle to generate the attacking rhythm they rely on.

And if the Rabbitohs combinations click immediately, their backline has enough quality to turn this into a shootout.
