South Sydney will do battle with the Sharks at 3pm (AEDT) this Saturday afternoon. After starting the season with two consecutive wins against the Dolphins and the Dragons, the Rabbitohs will be looking to make it three in a row when they run out onto Shark Park for what is sure to be a fascinating contest.
The Rabbitohs have showed plenty of character, toughness and determination in their opening two wins. The Rabbitohs trailed late in both games, but managed to find ways to get ahead before full time. Against the Dragons, it was a clutch field goal with five to go by Jamie Humphreys that proved decisive, while a 70th minute try to Isaiah Tass got South Sydney home against the Dolphins.
South Sydney will take much confidence out of the nature of these victories. They’ll be looking to draw on their experience in these games to get on top of the Sharks and grind out another victory this Saturday.
Jack Wighton: “It’s good to start the year on a couple of wins, but there’s a lot of work to go.”
Despite the positive start to the year, experienced campaigner Jack Wighton refuses to get ahead of himself when it comes to his side’s prospects this season. The Rabbitohs have gotten their 2025 season off to a flyer with two wins from two starts, but Wighton knows there is a long road ahead for him and his team.
“Yeah mate, our young guys are doing their jobs, the older boys are showing a bit of leadership. It’s nothing to get excited about yet though – it’s only round two. It’s good to start the year on a couple of wins, but there’s a lot of work to go.”
