The South Sydney Rabbitohs face a challenging match against the Melbourne Storm this Saturday night, struggling with injuries and an undermanned squad.
According to nrl.com.au, the Rabbitohs have depleted their roster further, with Jayden Sullivan, Jye Gray, and Keaon Koloamatangi joining the injured list after last week's loss to Canterbury.
Coach Wayne Bennett has praised the efforts of the younger players stepping up during this difficult period, but they'll need to deliver a flawless performance at Accor Stadium to secure an upset against the Storm.
The Melbourne Storm, on the other hand, enjoyed a bye last weekend, giving them a potentially refreshed squad.
Coach Craig Bellamy faces the tough decision of whether to rest his Origin players following their recent match in Perth.
This strategic choice will significantly impact the team's dynamic, with halfback Jahrome Hughes expected to shoulder more responsibilities as he guides the team through this pivotal phase.
