The loser of today’s clash between the Titans and Rabbitohs will end Round 23 at the bottom of the ladder and in turn, become favourites for this year’s wooden spoon.
While they sit last and second last, there’s a stark difference between the recent form of these two teams.

The Titans have won one of their last two and were desperately unlucky not to beat Penrith last week.
Meanwhile, the injury-ravaged Rabbitohs are out to halt a nine-game losing streak.
In a huge boost, Souths will welcome back Latrell Mitchell from a quad injury. Mitchell will start in the centres with Jye Gray to play fullback.
Wayne Bennett has reshuffled his forward pack an hour before kick off. Peter Mamouzelos will start at hooker, pushing Siliva Havili to prop and Jai Arrow to lock.
For the Titans, star front rower Moe Fotuaika is a late scratching. He’s been replaced in the starting line up by Reagan Campbell-Gillard with Tukimihia Simpkins the new man on the bench.
Simpkins is making his Titans debut having played five games for the Tigers in 2021-2022.
