The Rabbitohs has had a very poor start to the 2008 season losing all three of their first three games to the Sydney Roosters, the Bulldogs and the Panthers respectively. The only bonus that they can take of these games is that each match has been fairly close. This week they verse the Manly sea Eagles who are flying high after a huge win over Warriors last week. The rabbitohs may be missing a few key players such as Roy Asotasi but this hasn't been finalised. They come into this match at $4.50 to win.
There are no injuries ahead of this game, that has come from the previous two rounds, however two gun players- Reece Simmonds and Stuart Webb, both still have around a week for their injuries of wrist and hip injuries respectively, which came from before the first premiership rounds had started.
