Brisbane Broncos vs South Sydney Rabbitohs Prediction – Round 22 2025

The Brisbane Broncos will be out to reverse the result of their round 10 loss against the South Sydney Rabbitohs when they clash at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night.

The Broncos will no doubt still be reeling after their 22-20 loss to the Eels last week. That loss would have hit extra hard as Brisbane thought they had snatched victory in the final minute, only for the bunker to rule Reece Walsh offside and cruelly deny them the win.

That defeat has dropped Brisbane back to sixth and put a dent in their top four aspirations.

Meanwhile, the Bunnies are now at the bottom of the ladder after their 14-12 loss to the Sharks, and the Titans shocked the Warriors. Jamie Humphreys and Bayleigh Bentley-Hape return for the Rabbitohs, while Tevita Tatola will miss with a shoulder injury and Jack Wighton is out for four matches after an unsuccessful night at the judiciary.

The Broncos have opted for two new wingers with Selwyn Cobbo reinstated and Deine Mariner preferred over Jesse Arthars and Josiah Karapani.

Broncos vs Rabbitohs Prediction and Betting Tips

 

Head-to-Head Prediction

After losing to one cellar-dweller at home, surely the Broncos won’t be taking a second sip from the same poisoned chalice?

It’ll be the South Sydney Rabbitohs looking to fill the Broncos cup with a less than palatable liquid when they visit Suncorp Stadium on Friday night.

After a horror run of results, matched only by their horror run of injuries, Wayne Bennett and his Bunnies find themselves on the bottom of the ladder.

It’s hard not to feel sorry for Souths, who locked in their date with eight straight losses last week against the Sharks, but we’re still valiant in defeat.

They are now staring at the very real possibility of collecting their first wooden spoon since 2006 and Wayne Bennett’s first of his career.

We’re not saying they can’t get out of this, we’re just saying we doubt any potential revival will probably have to wait at least a week.

We can’t see the Broncos getting bounced by another bottom club for the second week in succession, but maybe their former master coach has one of those famous ambushes stuffed up his sleeve.

Betting tip: Brisbane Broncos.

 

First Tryscorer Prediction

Are you even surprised at this point? Alex Johnston is our main man for this market regardless of where the Rabbitohs sit in the standings.

AJ has scored at least one try in each of his last three away appearances against opponents that were ranked in the top eight and is inching ever closer to becoming the greatest try scorer in NRL history.
