A strong Rabbitohs<\/a> roster – bolstered by the man who could be the wild card, Benji Marshall – gives the old fox Wayne Bennett plenty of options.<\/p>\n

RECRUITMENT:<\/strong> Did well overall – got rid of some dead wood and brought in five players who will all vie for top grade spots: Marshall (Tigers) Jai Arrow (Titans), Jacob Host (Dragons), Taane Milne (Warriors) and Tautau Moga (Knights).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

STRENGTHS:<\/strong> The kicking game of Adam Reynolds, Cody Walker's creativity, a strong pack and Latrell Mitchell's strike power.<\/p>\n

WEAKNESSES:<\/strong> Bennett will be looking for a better start to games than in 2020, when Souths often took a while to click into gear. They often conceded the first try and many times, were behind with less than 10 minutes on the clock.<\/p>\n

MAN UNDER PRESSURE:<\/strong> Latrell Mitchell – who was really finding his feel when struck down by injury last season. He'll need to climb the mountain again but if he finds full fitness, will be a real danger man.<\/p>\n

ONE TO WATCH:<\/strong> Hardman Liam Knight was dynamic in 2019 before slipping down a notch last season – but has the fear factor to lead the Souths pack against the NRL's big guns.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

WHAT THE BOOKIES SAY:<\/strong> To win comp $6.50, to make finals $1.20 (via Sportsbet)<\/p>\n

WHAT MOLEY SAYS:<\/strong> If Souths stay injury free, they are definite top four material – stronger than last year and a big chance of getting to the grand final.<\/p>\n
