After a record-breaking 2013 season that saw the men in red and green amass their highest ever season tally of competition and on-field points as well as a myriad of other achievements the Rabbitohs and their growing group of Members prepare for their 104th campaign
With a playing roster bolstered by some new recruits and the Clubs seven World Cup campaigners returning to the fold, season 2014 poses a number of salivating propositions for you.
Round one Rabbitohs vs Roosters
A combined total of just under 100,000 people (95,660) saw the Rabbitohs and Roosters do battle in round one and round 26 of 2013 (the round 26 minor premiership tussle attracting a record 59,708), making the local derby one of the NRLs biggest drawcards. Both sides came away with a win apiece across both matches with Souths taking the coveted Ron Coote Cup.
