Sydney Roosters vs South Sydney Rabbitohs Tips and Prediction
South Sydney’s attack looks ready to cause problems again in Round 2 and the Rabbitohs appear well placed to outscore the Roosters at Allianz Stadium.
The Roosters struggled badly in their opener while South Sydney produced an explosive first half performance against the Dolphins.
How this game shapes up
The Roosters had a rough start to the season, falling heavily to the Warriors after committing 11 errors and conceding 11 penalties.
Their attack never really clicked, with the new halves pairing of Sam Walker and Daly Cherry-Evans still adjusting to playing together.
South Sydney’s opening performance was a completely different story.
Their left-side combination of Latrell Mitchell, David Fifita and Alex Johnston looked dangerous every time they had the ball, while Campbell Graham provided another threat on the right edge.
If the Rabbitohs’ attack maintains that level of pressure, the Roosters defence could be tested again.
Best Bets
South Sydney Rabbitohs to Win
South Sydney arrive with momentum after an impressive attacking performance in Round 1, while the Roosters looked rusty and error-prone in their opener.
Campbell Graham Anytime Tryscorer
Graham showed his class again last week scoring twice and remains a constant threat when South Sydney create space on the edges.
What could go wrong?
The Roosters still possess plenty of attacking talent and if the Walker and Cherry-Evans combination settles quickly, their attack could look far more dangerous.
And if South Sydney’s defence shows the same vulnerabilities it did late in their opener, the Roosters could stay within reach.
