South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Brisbane Broncos Preview
Brisbane Broncos have lost five in a row and now face a tough trip to face South Sydney. On current form, the Rabbitohs to cover a -5.5-point line is the best bet with David Fifita backed in the tryscorer markets.
- Souths have won their last 2 matches against Brisbane at Accor.
- The last 3 Brisbane matches have had a game total between the 39-59 band.
- The last 4 Souths games have fallen within the 39-59 game total points band.
- David Fifita scored in his return from injury last week.
Head to Head
The latest meeting between South and Brisbane was heavily one-sided with the Bronocos kicking away to a 60-14 victory in Round 22 last season. The Rabbits did get up 22-14 in wet weather earlier in the season in Round 10.
Brisbane hold a 3-2 edge in their last 5 head to head meetings.
South Sydney Rabbitohs Form - Mitchell Missing
Souths have been in trouble since Latrell Mitchell injured his back, losing their last three matches with their attack struggling to make an impact.
The Rabbits have scored just 42 points over their three losses while conceding an average of 30 points per game.
David Fifita made an instant impact last week after returning from injury, which was one of the few positives to take out of their 28-14 loss to Manly. The second-rower scored his first try as a Bunny and had 11 runs for 89 metres and a line break.
Brisbane Broncos Form - Worrying Signs For The Premiers
There are some real worrying signs at Red Hill for the Premiers, who have now lost five straight and are now under the media microscope which never helps their cause.
Nothing puts Brisbane more under the pump than losing the derby to little brother Gold Coast which is exactly where Michael Maguire and the Broncos sit after going down to the Titans 23-28 on Saturday.
Brisbane ticked all the stats boxes but couldn’t do anything to deny the Titans victory.
The Broncos conceding an average of 34 points over their last five matches and with their Origin stars in and out over the next month, the 2026 Grand Final winners might be looking at a run home well outside of the top eight.
