Not much to report outside of the retirement of Matt Gillette and the signing of Brodie Croft.

(Photo by Jason McCawley/Getty Images)Prior to the season suspension, the Rabbitohs were the last club to be beaten by the Brisbane Broncos, who have only won one match since the resumption to crash to 15th on the ladder, only above the Bulldogs.In that match, Kotoni Staggs scored a hat-trick of tries as the Broncos won 22-18 in a match in which spectators were banned from attending, as the coronavirus pandemic hit its first peak in Australia.Four-and-a-half months on, the Bunnies will start favourites against a side that has performed very poorly in Sydney in the past twelve months, the Broncos having not won a match in the Harbour City since July 7 last year.In fact, this will also be the first time the Broncos step foot into Bankwest Stadium since last year’s humiliating 58-0 elimination final loss to the Parramatta Eels, which until Round 4 this year marked their worst ever defeat in the NRL.Last Friday night, the northerners blew their biggest chance at a victory when they squandered a 26-18 lead against the Sharks with ten minutes remaining to crash to a 36-26 defeat.While it may have been an improvement in recent weeks, it was still a disappointing defeat and leaves the Broncos staring down the barrel of potentially recording its worst ever season in over three decades of club history.On the other hand, the Rabbitohs celebrated Indigenous Round with a 32-24 win over the Dragons at Kogarah Oval, and appropriately enough it was their Indigenous stars who scored all 32 of their points.The victory lifted the Bunnies back into the top eight, and back into finals calculations following some indifferent form in recent weeks.At home, Wayne Bennett’s side should start favourites as they continue pushing towards a third consecutive finals series.Tom Burgess.
