The South Sydney Rabbitohs will look to take another step towards securing a finals spot when they visit the Gold Coast Titans at Cbus Super Stadium on Saturday afternoon. 

The Rabbitohs fell 45-26 to the Warriors last Saturday, meaning they now sit two points ahead of the ninth-placed Bulldogs. 

Meanwhile, the Titans surrendered a halftime lead in a 30-22 loss to Cronulla on Sunday, marking their fourth consecutive defeat. 

The Bunnies have symbolically named retired club legend Jai Arrow to put him on track for 100 South Sydney appearances next week, with Cameron Murray set to immediately replace him at lock under an NRL-approved arrangement. 

Latrell Mitchell has been named among the reserves, while Jamie Humphreys and Adam Elliott are named on the extended interchange. 

Josh Patston replaces the injured Beau Fermor for Gold Coast. South Sydney has won their last 10 matches against the Titans in one of the most lopsided relationships in recent history.

Titans vs Rabbitohs Prediction and Betting Tips 

Head-to-Head Prediction 

The Rabbitohs have been on a tough run but remain in the eight. They pushed the Warriors hard before going down 45-26 last week and now turn their attention to the lowly Titans.

Not only are South Sydney firmly in the finals picture, but they may get a major boost as Latrell Mitchell is reportedly targeting a return for this clash against the Gold Coast.

If he's cleared to play, the Rabbitohs' attack becomes a different proposition entirely.

The Titans are precariously close to the foot of the table and can still ‘win’ the spoon, should the Dragons get their ducks in a row at the 11th hour. 

In their defence though, they were competitive against the Sharks before losing 30-22, but Beau Fermor remains a doubt with an abdominal injury, which weakens their forward pack considerably. 

If Latrell does finally return, South Sydney should be well poised to win this one comfortably.

Betting tip: South Sydney Rabbitohs. 

First Try Scorer Prediction 

Another week, another AJ try, or should we say tries. How can we not back him at this point? Despite breaking Ken Irvine’s record to become the NRL’s all-time leading try scorer, Alex Johnston has shown no signs of taking his foot off the gas.

Last week he crossed for his 27th and 28th tries of the season, pulling him level with Penrith’s Thomas Jenkins as this season’s leading scorer. 

Alex Johnston has also scored two tries in each of his last four away appearances against teams on a losing streak and is a prime candidate to cross for the first meat pie of this match. 

Betting tip: Alex Johnston.

Over/Under Prediction 

Five of Gold Coast's last six day matches have gone over the total match points line.

Betting tip: Over 52.5 total match points. 

Line Prediction

South Sydney has covered the line in each of its last six matches at Cbus Super Stadium.

Betting tip: Rabbitohs (-10.5) line.
