Stay informed with Oddspedia, offering current betting odds for the South Sydney Rabbitohs and St. George Illawarra Dragons sourced from 3 Australian betting sites across 23 markets. Presently, bookies tip the South Sydney Rabbitohs as frontrunners with odds @ 1.05 for victory.

In a bid to maintain their position in the top eight, the Rabbitohs must remain vigilant as they gear up to take on the Dragons at Barlow Park in Cairns this Saturday. South Sydney hasn't secured consecutive wins since early May and approaches this clash with five losses in the last seven matches.

Despite regaining their full-strength lineup, including the comeback of star fullback Latrell Mitchell, the Rabbitohs haven't quite hit their stride. Their recent performance saw them narrowly defeat the Tigers before succumbing to a 26-16 loss against the struggling Sharks in Perth. The Rabbitohs faced a tough defeat in that match, scoring three late tries to soften the blow, highlighting the need for significant improvement in this upcoming encounter.

Meanwhile, the Dragons have demonstrated a relatively promising run lately, claiming a victory over the Tigers and putting up strong fights against the Sea Eagles and Eels, resulting in close six-point losses. However, St. George Illawarra will have to overcome setbacks in this matchup, as both in-form center Zac Lomax and Jack Bird are sidelined.

The Dragons approach this game with a sense of optimism, aiming to pull off an upset. Notably, they've emerged victorious in the last two NRL meetings between these teams, managing to score 32+ points in each of those instances.
