Tigers v Rabbitohs match preview
The Wests Tigers will go one week closer to ending their miserable NRL 2024 campaign when they host the South Sydney Rabbitohs in Campbelltown this Saturday night.
The Tigers were disappointing again last Sunday, going down to the Knights by 16 points in Newcastle. Despite a competitive start to the match, Benji Marshall’s side faded after the half-hour mark and conceded four of the last five tries.
Red-hot favourites for the wooden spoon at $1.04 with leading NRL bookmakers, the Tigers have now lost their last seven in a row. They head into round 24 as $2.75 underdogs with PlayUp.
In a major blow for the Tigers, fullback Jahream Bula has been ruled for the rest of the season, with Heath Mason likely to be promoted from the reserves. Solomon Alaimalo and Reuben Porter will also miss, with Luke Laulilii and Sione Fainu replacing them.
Last Thursday night, the Bunnies’ poor form continued as they fell to the Storm by 12 points in Sydney. Souths gave up five of the first six tries and were never in the match, recording their third consecutive defeat.
It has been a horror season for the Rabbitohs, who sit 15th on the NRL ladder. However, as they face the last-placed Tigers, they enter this clash as favourites at $1.48 with BoomBet.
Souths have made just one change, as Tallis Duncan comes into the back row for the injured Michael Chee Kam (calf). Forward Jacob Host has been added to the bench.

Tigers v Rabbitohs predictions
Despite holding the home-ground advantage, the Tigers have won just one of their past 11 matches at this venue. South Sydney have also held the recent advantage over Wests, winning eight of their last nine meetings, so back the Bunnies to cover the line of -6.5 points at $1.90 with top online bookmakers.
Conceding more than 41 points on average over their past seven games, expect the Tigers’ defensive troubles to continue. When these sides met four weeks ago, there were 70 points scored, so take this one to go over 53.5 at $1.90 with rugby league bookies.
In each of their last eight matches, the Tigers have conceded tries to the opposing team’s left winger — including four from the Knights’ Fletcher Sharpe last Sunday. After scoring a double against the Storm, Fletcher Myers looks to be the biggest threat once again. At $3.30 with Bet365, back Myers to score two or more tries.
