Saturday, August 22, 7.35 PM, Round 15, ANZ Stadium, Sydney, South Sydney Rabbitohs take on Manly Sea Eagles NRL Match Fixture
The Rabbitohs may be coming into this match having won their past 3 games but they’ve hardly been convincing and were very lucky to get to win against the Cowboys last week. Souths need to win this game to consolidate their spot in the top 8 against a Manly side who have to fix up their defence after a narrow loss to the Knights last weekend. This is a must-win game for the Sea Eagles, anything other than victory will see their finals hopes gone.

Previously, in earlier years and most recent form, 38 matches played between the Rabbitohs and the Sea Eagles favour the Sea Eagles winning 21, all other statistics suggest the match fixture will be close and could go either way!
South Sydney Rabbitohs for the win.
If we had to pick a line?
