MATCH PREVIEW
The Wests Tigers may have improved dramatically over the last couple of weeks but they come up against their biggest test yet — a red-hot Rabbitohs side.
The Tigers have bagged back-to-back wins over the Panthers and Dragons to breathe some life into their season.
But they’ll have to go to another level to match South Sydney, who are chasing six wins on the trot and were declared the premiership favourites after a convincing win over the Storm in Magic Round.
The Tigers will be boosted by the return of star second-rower John Bateman though after he was a late scratching last week due to a hamstring injury.
Rabbitohs coach Jason Demetriou has kept the same 17 that delivered last week with Liam Knight retaining his spot in the side after a successful return from an ACL injury.
