The 2025 NRL season's Round 16 clash sees the South Sydney Rabbitohs take on Melbourne Storm at the Accor Stadium this Saturday.
The Rabbitohs currently sit 14th on the ladder, and given the competition for the top eight spot -- only one win separates them from bottom-placed Titans and the finals spot.
Plagued by injuries, the season has been tough for the Bunnies but all is not over yet. Skipper Cody Walker and Campbell Graham have been named in the reserves and are quickly making a return from injury while Latrell Mitchell will play in this clash after a quick turnaround from the State of Origin.
Meanwhile, the Storm sit comfortably in fourth spot and are coming off a bye week. Although not all of them are well-rested; several State of Origin players such as Cameron Munster, Harry Grant, Trent Loiero, Xavier Coates and Stefano Utoikamanu, have all be named in the lineup.
Not only have the Storm beaten Rabbitohs in eleven of the past 13 games, but Storm coach Craig Bellamy has not lost a single game against Wayne Bennett-coached teams in the last 14 meetings.
