South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Brisbane Broncos, Round 10 2025 - Expert Prediction
The Rabbitohs will be buoyed by the return of key players but will ultimately lose to the Broncos who will be on a mission to bounce back from last weekend’s painful loss.
Both of these teams were embarrassed last weekend by their opponents. When looking at results and strength of opponent over the last 5 games the Rabbitohs are much worse off. The Broncos losses this season have come because of inconsistent defence and their opposition being able to stop their go forward.
South Sydney do not have that ability with this lineup on the defensive end, they rank 17th in Opposition Run Metres, 15th in Opposition Possession, 15th in Opposition Linebreaks while allowing a try for every 7.3 tackles Inside their 20m zone.
As mentioned the return of Latrell Mitchell and Jamie Humphries cannot be understated on the attacking end, it is likely the inclusions and quality of those players will lead to a higher points total for the Rabbitohs even with their struggles in that department so far this season.
Take Brisbane to win and cover the line with the Game Total going Over. Jesse Arthar is likely to score but also has the lowest odds, let’s take Xavier Willison on the left edge where Brisbane have scored 52% of their tries this season and Souths have allowed 49% of theirs.
- Brisbane have won and covered in 4 of the last 6 vs South Sydney.
- The Broncos are ranked 3rd in Average Points Scored this season.
- Xavier Willison has scored 3 tries this season, 1 as the first tryscorer.
- Brisbane have scored the first try in 3 straight games and 6 of 9 this season. Souths have allowed the first try in 3 straight and 5 of 9 games.
Head to Head
South Sydney and Brisbane have met on 12 occasions since the beginning of the 2019 season. Souths hold a 7-5 advantage in the head to head but Brisbane have won 4 of the last 6 games played.
Last year they split the difference 1-1 with each team winning on their home turf. The Under/Over is evenly separated at 6-6 during this span but 3 of the last 5 have gone Over.
Both games last year finished with 10 point winning margins while 7 of the 10 games prior all were 13+ point win margins.

Souths were embarrassed for the second time in 3 weeks, this time by the Knights losing 30-4 at Magic Round over the weekend. After bouncing back from a 32-0 drubbing at the hands of Canterbury in Round 7, South Sydney put it to Melbourne in Round 8 going down by only 8 points in Melbourne 24-16.
This game just kind of mirrors their season to date, a raft of injuries affecting the team and despite the overall balance in Territory and Possession the team still gave up 30. The damage was done early with 3 tries in the first 13 minutes of the game as the Rabbits allowed 7 Linebreaks to their opponents in the first half, more than double their season average in first halves.
They were also cooked in attack, unable to capitalise on their 30 tackles Inside the Bunnies 20m zone, they had 0 linebreaks themselves for the 2nd time in 3 weeks and had 9 errors during the 80 minutes.

The Broncos had another one of those games last weekend where they looked like a reserve grade team. A 32-8 loss to the Penrith Panthers is their biggest defeat of the season so far as both the defence and attack faltered throughout the 80 mins at Magic Round.
Brisbane were unable to restrict their opponents making ground up the field and poor attempts at tackling resulted in 7 linebreaks to the Panthers, double the season average allowed by the Broncos.
They looked clunky in attack with the defence rushing up and stymying the Broncs opportunities to use their passing and set plays effectively. They scored just 1 try on 31 tackles in the Penrith 20m zone where they otherwise this season average a four pointer every 6 tackles.
