Stats & History
Alongside the Roosters, the South Sydney Rabbitohs are one of only two NSWRL foundation clubs that still play in the top grade of Australian rugby league. They are also the oldest, having sprung into existence a week before their Eastern Suburbs rivals.
The Rabbitohs had a horrendous end to their 2023 season losing four of their last six matches to finish in 9th place, one win outside of the top eight on the NRL ladder.
Over the off-season, the Rabbitohs have welcomed former Canberra Raider Jack Wighton, and Manly Sea Eagle Sean Keppie to the club, while bidding farewell to Hame Sele (Dragons), Blake Taaffe (Bulldogs), and Jad Cartwright (Knights) as well as club legend Sam Burgess from the coaching staff.
Will head coach Jason Demetriou be able to bring the star-studded squad together and return to premiership glory in 2024?
Let’s check out the odds for the 2024 NRL season.

Best South Sydney Rabbitohs bets for NRL 2024
There are dozens of NRL futures markets for the Bunnies, but where are they likely to return some real value?
Click on the tabs below to get more analysis on these markets:
- The success of the Rabbitohs looks heavily dependent on the health and happiness of superstar fullback Latrell Mitchell as $12 chances to win the premiership. Should he be fully fit, the Rabbitohs should be able to win enough games throughout the season to put them in a strong position to play finals before welcoming back centre Campbell Graham. From that point, the Rabbitohs have more than enough talent in their side to challenge for another title.
- The Rabbitohs are $2.50 chances to finish fourth on the 2024 NRL ladder which is a great value bet. They will be good enough through the regular season to win most of their home games, and many of their away games, while retaining several players in their starting 17 throughout the representative period. The biggest risk to the Rabbitohs missing the top four in 2024 is injury.
- Alex Johnston may be the third-highest try scorer in NRL history, but this will be the season of Latrell Mitchell if he can stay fully fit for the season. The Rabbitohs fullback has shown in his time at fullback that he is capable of setting tries up for his teammates, but he is a much more dangerous prospect in attack when he runs the ball himself. With new teammate Wighton in the side to partner Alex Johnston on the edges, Mitchell will be presented with many opportunities to score which he will take with both hands.

Rabbitohs players to watch in 2024
Jack Wighton
Born: 4/2/1993
Games: 242
Tries: 75
Position: Centre
Jack Wighton has left the Canberra Raiders where he played over 240 games, won a Dally M Medal in 2020 while winning the Clive Churchill Medal a year early and unfortunately missing out on an NRL Premiership. At the Rabbitohs he will play in the centres where he has represented New South Wales and Australia. He will become a key attacking weapon at the club in partnership with Latrell Mitchell, while also being an enormous presence in defence. If coach Demetriou can create plans to put Wighton in the correct positions, the Rabbitohs will be a very difficult team to beat.
Tevita Tatola
Born: 10/11/1996
Games: 139
Tries: 9
Position: Prop
Tevita Tatola will become the leader of the Rabbitohs forward pack in combination with captain Cameron Murray and second-rower Jai Arrow. Tatola will be tasked with producing strong runs that bend the defensive line, allowing Murray, Cody Walker and Latrell Mitchell to play with speed off the back of his hard work. Tatola will also be the leader of the side’s physicality in the middle, and if he can produce big hits through the season, he will be a great inspiration for other forwards in the side to perform.
Damien Cook
Born: 23/6/1991
Games: 195
Tries: 31
Position: Hooker
Damien Cook could be in for one of the biggest seasons of his NRL career. In the lead-up to the start of the season, teammate Peter Mamouzelos was resigned to a long term deal that may see him play a small role off the interchange bench to give Cook a rest. If Cook is no longer required to play the full 80 minutes, he will have more freedom to use his speed around the ruck and terrorise defenders. If the Rabbitohs can find the balance for this rotation, they will be one of the fastest teams in the NRL.

- The South Sydney District Rugby League Football Club was formed on January 17, 2018 at the Redfern Town Hall. Among its founding members was Victor Trumper – one of the early superstars in Australian cricket.
Success was instant. Nicknamed after the rabbit-catching street hawkers of 19th-century Sydney, the Rabbitohs won the first two New South Wales Rugby League titles and added another pair at either end of the Great War. Seven premierships between 1925 and 1932 established the club as one of Australia’s great sporting powers.
Souths have enjoyed healthy rivalries with Eastern Suburbs and Balmain since the early days, but it was St George who emerged as their arch-nemesis in the middle years of the 20th century. The two teams shared all but three NSWRL Premierships between 1949 and 1971, with the Rabbitohs claiming nine and the Dragons reeling off 11 in a row from ’56 to ’66.
That was where the well ran dry for South Sydney. Financial problems hit hard in the early 1970s and drove top talents to other clubs. Those issues reached critical levels in the ’90s, so much so that the Bunnies were excluded when the newly formed National Rugby League was reduced to 14 teams in 2000.
That decision was met with public outcry, and not just from Souths supporters. A two-year legal campaign bore fruit when the High Court ruled that the NRL and News Limited had no legal grounds for dumping the Rabbits from the competition. The club was reinstated in 2002.
That is where the revival begins. After a few poor seasons, a consortium led by Hollywood actor Russell Crowe mounted a takeover of South Sydney. Flush with funds and driven by ambitious backers, the Rabbitohs were able to attract star players and top-drawer coaches for the first time in decades. So it was that in 2014, with Michael Maguire at the helm, the green and red beat the Canterbury Bulldogs to claim their first premiership win in 43 years.
