After a heartbreaking loss to his old club, Shane Flanagan will be looking to pick his side up off the canvas. The Dragons played well in the first half at Shark Park. Mikaele Ravalawa scored two tries, first through a cut-out ball from Ben Hunt and then by a beautiful set move that saw him go over in the same spot. They could not score a try in the second half, with lots of panic when it came to certain plays (one of which had Ben Hunt blowing up big time).
Moses Suli returns from a concussion to line up in the centres, pushing Zac Lomax back to the wing. After being out with a calf injury, Luciano Leilua has been named as a reserve, but a decision about him playing may be left until game time.
Cody Walker set up both tries like only he can as Souths raced to a 12-nil lead early against the Panthers. The Rabbitohs then let some ill-discipline creep into their game. They also showed no urgency in getting back into defence after a kick went over the dead-ball line, which led to a Taylan May try.
Latrell Mitchell will return from suspension this week, but the Rabbitohs will be without Cameron Murray, Jye Gray, and Dean Hawkins due to injury. Dion Teaupa will make his NRL at halfback, Silvia Havili will play at lock, and Gehamet Shibasaki will be on the wing. Matthew French comes onto the bench for the suspended Jacob Host.
