Canberra are a well-oiled Green Machine - they dig in, work for each other and buy into Ricky Stuart's philosophy. Those efforts have been rewarded with second spot on the ladder and the most wins in the competition heading into Round 14. Souths meanwhile continue to plug away under Wayne Bennett, and with their superstar players back on deck, cementing a place in the top eight looks realistic over the coming month.
I have one rule when it comes to the Raiders and it's if you're backing them to win, it's got to be by a 1-12 margin. Indeed, 16 of Canberra's last 20 wins have come inside this margin - including a pulsating 26-24 comeback over the Roosters last week. I'm also liking Under 48.5 total points - Souths have consistently been involved in low-scoring games this season and I'm prepared to say last week's 36-30 defeat to the Warriors was an outlier. Have to always back Alex Johnston at even money when it comes to Anytime Tryscorers, while a small stake should be reserved for Josh Papalii, who has been elevated to the starting lineup as he celebrates breaking the record for most games for the Raiders with 319.
- Raiders have won eight of their last nine games
- Sixteen of the Raiders' last 20 wins have been by a 1-12 margin
- Rabbitohs have seen Under 48.5 points in nine of their last 10 games
- Seven of the last nine meetings have seen Under 48.5 points
- Alex Johnston has scored five tries in his last four games & has crossed for nine in his last 12 games vs Raiders
- Josh Papalii has scored 65 tries in 318 games, which is an excellent strike rate for a prop - he's celebrating a record-breaking 319th game for the Raiders, gets a start & will be looking to crash over from close range
Head To Head
The Raiders have won five of their last six meetings with Souths and five of the last seven in Canberra. The Bunnies only have two wins in Canberra since 2014.

Arguably the form team in the competition coming into Round 14, the Raiders have tasted victory in eight of their last nine games - and despite sitting in second behind the Bulldogs, they've won more games than any other side in the competition.
Ricky Stuart has done an outstanding job with this young and relatively inexperienced side - Kaeo Weekes is one of the most electric players in the game, Ethan Strange and Jamal Fogarty have developed into a potent halves pairing and the entire forward pack continues to impress - including Hudson Young, who is laying a claim to be one of the most prolific try-scoring second-rowers in recent memory, scoring 10 in his last 10 games.
Canberra once again registered a come-from-behind victory in 2025 last week against the Roosters, with Weekes playing a starring role at fullback as he sliced open the Chooks' defence with seven minutes remaining to set up Strange for a try under the posts.

| Last 5 W/L | Last 5 ATS | Last 5 O/U |
|---|---|---|
| 2-3 | 3-2 | 1-4 |
Considering the injury difficulties Souths have been forced to contend with, Wayne Bennett would be relatively happy with their ninth spot on the ladder, just four points off the Storm in fourth.
The cavalry is starting to return, especially in the backs, with Jack Wighton and Cody Walker recovering from injuries and selected in the side this week, joining the likes of Latrell Mitchell and Alex Johnston.
The Rabbitohs went on a four-game losing run in the height of their growing casualty ward, but responded with back-to-back victories over the Broncos and Tigers before last week's high-scoring 36-30 defeat to the Warriors, ultimately running out of time as they attempted a comeback.
