MATCH PREVIEW Roosters v Rabbitohs

Rabbitohs Stat Attack: Souths skipper Greg Inglis is one try away from becoming the 12th player in premiership history to score 150 tries in his career.

And another thing: These teams have not met often in the playoffs - when the Rabbitohs beat the Roosters in 2014 to qualify for their ground-breaking grand final, it was the first time since 1938 that they had met in the post-season.
Sydney Roosters v South Sydney Rabbitohs, Saturday 7.40pm at Allianz Stadium

Head-to-head in NRL era: Roosters 25 wins, Rabbitohs 12 wins, 5 draws
Previous result: Roosters won 18-14 at ANZ Stadium in round 22
Points per game (regular season): Roosters 22.6 (4th); Rabbitohs 24.3 (1st)
Points conceded per game (regular season): Roosters 15 (1st); Rabbitohs 18.2 (4th)

Craig Wing's tip: I'm calling this one a draw. The Rabbitohs have a full strength team while the Roosters are missing Latrell Mitchell and Dylan Napa. Although the Roosters have had a week off, Souths were outstanding against Melbourne and tough against the Dragons and I think they'll get there by an Adam Reynolds field goal in extra time. Rabbitohs by 1.
