The South Sydney Rabbitohs are pleased to announce their updated 19-man squad for their round eight fixture in the NRL's ANZAC Round against the Brisbane Broncos at ANZ Stadium tomorrow Thursday 26 April at 7:50pm.
Rabbitohs captain Greg Inglis will play his 250th NRL game tomorrow night. Inglis made his NRL debut for the Melbourne Storm against the Parramatta Eels in round six of the 2005 season. Inglis played 117 first grade games for the Storm and has played 132 NRL games for South Sydney since joining the Club in 2011, and he has captained the side since 2015.
Rabbitohs prop Thomas Burgess will play his 100th NRL game tomorrow. Burgess also made his NRL debut against the Eels, in round 15 of the 2013 season. All of Burgess' NRL games have been played in the red and green of South Sydney.
The South Sydney Rabbitohs will commemorate ANZAC Round with a special pre-game ceremony featuring the full ode, the Last Post, national anthems and a welcome to country. The Rabbitohs will wear a special ANZAC Round jersey featuring the names of 340 Rabbitohs that served their nation in the first and second World Wars.
Also this Thursday, 7,500 Greg Inglis facemasks will be given away to Members and supporters to celebrate his 250th NRL game, a 'GI Goanna' race will be held at halftime of the main fixture, and the undefeated Rabbitohs women's team will play in the top-of-the-table curtain raiser fixture against Mounties in the Harvey Norman NSW Women's premiership at ANZ Stadium.
