NRL, ROUND 5, 2023, MARCH 31st MELBOURNE STORM v SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS

Green stadium seats Rugby League

ACCOR STADIUM, SYDNEY

Rabbitohs team: 

1. Latrell Mitchell 2. Alex Johnston 3. Isaiah Tass 4. Campbell Graham 5. Izaac Tu’itupou Thompson 6. Cody Walker 7. Lachlan Ilias 8. Daniel Suluka-Fifita 9. Damien Cook 10. Thomas Burgess 11. Keaon Koloamatangi 12. Jacob Host 13. Cameron Murray 14. Jed Cartwright 15. Michael Chee Kam 16. Davvy Moale 17. Hame Sele 18. Blake Taaffe 19. Dean Hawkins 20. Ben Lovett 21. Taane Milne 22. Tallis Duncan

Hame Sele returns from a concussion on the bench with Ben Lovett dropping out of the 17.  Alex Johnston has been named after pushing through a cork last week, while Jai Arrow will be on the sidelines with a hamstring injury. The Bunnies played well last week beating Penrith which will give them confidence.

Storm team:

 1. Nick Meaney 2. William Warbrick 3. Reimis Smith 4. Justin Olam 5. Xavier Coates 6. Cameron Munster 7. Jonah Pezet 8. Tui Kamikamica 9. Harry Grant 10. Christian Welch 11. Trent Loiero 12. Eliesa Katoa 13. Josh King 14. Bronson Garlick 15. Alec MacDonald 16. Tariq Sims 17. Tom Eisenhuth 18. Grant Anderson 19. Tyran Wishart 20. Jordan Grant 21. George Jennings 22. Jack Howarth

Just one change for the Storm this week with Tyran Wishart dropping off the bench and Tom Eisenhuth replaces him. George Jennings has been named in the reserves after returning to the field from an illness a fortnight ago in Queensland Cup. He could be a late addition in place of Will Warbrick. Cam Munster is back and will be better after a run last week. His combination with Harry Grant will be vital to the result. They are finding some form after a slow start to the season.

PREDICTION.

Both teams will be chasing their third win of the season with the Rabbitohs winning on only six occasions from 37 attempts against the Storm. This is another nail biter so be careful with betting as both sides will want the win here.

The Rabbits should win this so I am going ,Bunnies minus 1.5 points @ $1.62 ,OR ,the Storm with a points start of 7.5 @ $ 1.63
