Our opponents the Roosters are in fifth place when it comes to scoring four-pointers, racking up 92 tries this season, twelve less than the leaders.

With tries comes points, and again, the Cardinal and Myrtle lead the way with 623 points scored this season. It's the most points scored by any Rabbitohs side in history and the only side in the competition so far to post over 600.
Halfback Adam Reynolds has contributed 33% of the side's points with 207 to his name, scoring five tries, kicking 91 goals and landing five field goals.
As they say, the higher the score, the harder it is for your opponents to catch up.

Surprisingly the Roosters rank as the biggest culprits when it comes to errors, with the most dropped ball in the competition with 280, averaging 11.2 per game. The Red and Green have been far better with the ball in hand with only 259 errors after playing one more match than their opponents.

As the best-attacking side comes up against one of the best defensive sides in the competition, this match is shaping up as the battle between an unstoppable force and a near-immovable object.
With Allianz Stadium being torn down in the off-season, the Rabbitohs will be looking to speed up the process with a demolition of their own.
