Confidence 58%

Rabbitohs 1-12 $3.20
Under 41.5 $1.91
Keaon Koloamatangi anytime $5.40

Why: Wet conditions compress scoring and favour the stronger middle. Souths gain Koloamatangi and Hubner while Dragons are light on without de Belin and Sele. Venue lean to Souths but rain narrows the gap; prefer Souths by a try and the Under. SGM aligns to a grind: Souths 1-12, Under 41.5, and a prop crash option in Koloamatangi.

Best Value Tryscorer

$6.40

Damien Cook anytime try

Rain pushes play to the ruck Dragons have strong hooker strike (9 HOK tries) and Souths have conceded to HOK frequently (7). Price captures the lane in wet conditions.

Other props: Jacob Host anytime ($7.50), Jai Arrow anytime ($7.30), Siliva Havili anytime ($8.00), Alex Johnston anytime ($1.85)

Match Preview

Tempo & Territory

Heavy rain and a saturated track point to slower rucks, shorter sets and more yardage through the middle. With Koloamatangi named at prop and Hubner back at lock, Souths should be better through-contact and in set starts. Dragons arrive with a lighter engine room after de Belin and Sele outs, so Klemmer and Guler must shoulder longer minutes. Expect a territorial arm wrestle with long kicks and reduced ball movement, lowering error tolerance and overall pace.

Form, Stakes & H2H

Souths have banked consecutive wins and can notch three straight for the first time this year, while the Dragons have shown resilience with wins over Sharks and Raiders but now face conditions that mute their edge strike. Accor history leans to the Rabbitohs and the near pick market reflects a narrow true margin. In the wet, finishing rates drop and second-half fatigue favours the side with the sturdier middle rotation, which on team changes tilts to Souths.

Lanes & Bets

Weather suppresses the touchlines and elevates middle crash and dummy-half chances. That supports an Under angle against the 41.5 band and brings forwards into ATS focus. Souths’ upgraded pack suits a 1-12 style result rather than a blowout, while Dragons’ best route to points is a hooker dart from Damien Cook. The recommended build tells one story: Souths to edge a grinder (1-12), total Under 41.5, and Koloamatangi to score via close-range power in the wet.
