South Sydney Rabbitohs Form
Things are bleak in Redfern with the Bunnies holding firm at the bottom of the ladder with just one win this season.
The only positive coming out of the Rabbitohs camp in their 28-14 loss to the Dragons was the performance of Latrell Mitchell, who scored two tries in his return from a three week suspension.
The Bunnies fullback also set up the third try for Izaac Thompson, which overall has been his best statistical performance of the season.
South Sydney still could not do anything about their defence though with the Dragons running in four tries including a couple of soft ones on tired, uncommitted legs.

Gehamat Shibasaki makes way for the return of Alex Johnston on the wing. Izaac Thompson moves into the centres and Jacob Gagai will occupy the opposite wing.
Taane Milne is an interesting choice on the bench for Ben Hornby as Michael Chee Kam and Matt French drop out of the side.
