The South Sydney Rabbitohs possess one of the NRL's most formidable left edges when at full strength.
This dynamic begins at the center, where Cameron Murray, the league's top lock forward, showcases unmatched play-the-ball speed.
The action then flows left through key players like Cody Walker, David Fifita, Latrell Mitchell, and the legendary try-scorer Alex Johnston.
It's evident that they predominantly attack this way, making it an ongoing challenge for opponents to defend against, even on their most difficult days.
Mitchell's absence during Thursday night's match certainly hindered the Rabbitohs, but as the game progressed, their offensive strategy became increasingly puzzling.
Whether it was a result of Bennett's coaching or the decisions made by Cody Walker and Ashton Ward, the Rabbitohs kept opting to go right.
While it's true that they can score tries on their right flank, it pales in comparison to the attacking threat posed by their left side, based on a review of South Sydney's roster.
This raises yet another question; the choice to repeatedly focus on the right becomes even stranger when considering that Jack Wighton is sidelined with a broken arm.
