Raiders v Rabbitohs: Sezer out; Souths' cavalry returns - NRL.com
One week after upstaging the No.1-ranked team in the competition, the Raiders will be looking to claim a second big scalp in Saturday's duel with the Rabbitohs.
www.nrl.comHere’s the latest I can share on South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Canberra Raiders from recent reports.
- The most recent notable matchup was a thriller in Perth where Canberra edged South Sydney 36-34 to snap a four-game West Coast skid. That match featured a late Souths surge but the Raiders held on for the win.[1][3]
- In that Perth clash, Hudson Young scored a double for Canberra, with Ethan Sanders converting key tries, and the Raiders led 24-4 at halftime before Souths mounted a comeback.[3][1]
- Prior to that, the Raiders’ record against the Rabbitohs has included some tight finishes and high-scoring affairs, consistent with the recent trend of both teams trading blows in head-to-heads around 30+ point games.[4][1]
If you’d like, I can pull in more context (season-long head-to-heads, ladder position around these games, or recent team news leading into or following these matches) and summarize with a quick table of results. I can also track upcoming clashes if you want ongoing updates. Would you prefer a focus on recent head-to-heads or on the latest single game recap and implications for the season?
