Izaac Thompson was a late withdrawal the previous round but has returned on the wing in place of Taane Milne. The bunnies had a good win over the Dolphins last week,but this week will be harder for them.

Liam Martin is out once again after only returning last week from injury which means Scott Sorenson takes his place in the backrow with Lindsay Smith earning a recall on the bench. Luke Garner has been named 18th man after returning from a rib injury in NSW Cup on Saturday.
The Panthers grabbed a 16-10 win over the Bunnies in round 2 this year making it 10 wins from the last 11 games .The Panthers were lucky last week against the Knights winning in extra time 16-15.

PREDICTION.
I think the Panthers will be too good here after their narrow escape last weekend and I will go Panthers minus 6.5 points start, @ $1.89 Their forward pack is very strong and class in the backs.
The Rabbits can win this but will have to be at their best I believe. You can get Souths plus 9.5 points start @ $1.69
