Hot off an upset win over the Titans, the Rabbitohs will look to go back-to-back for the first time this season when they host the Broncos at Accor Stadium.

Latrell Mitchell produced the performance South Sydney fans have been waiting for to ignite a 46-12 drumming over the Gold Coast and now well in the Origin equation, Brisbane will be doing their homework on how to shut down the star fullback.

The Rabbitohs are also set to welcome back star skipper Cameron Murray (hip) for the first time since Round 9 who will be desperate to help his side climb further out of the NRL cellar.

The Broncos, meanwhile, will be looking to get their season back on track having now gone down to the Titans and Sharks either side of bye.

Star fullback Reece Walsh will spend another week on the sideline (head knock) however will be relieved to see centre Kotoni Staggs named on Tuesday after injuring his knee during Saturday's loss to the Sharks.

Team News

Rabbitohs: A huge boost for the Bunnies with skipper Cameron Murray set to return from the hip injury that has sidelined him since Round 9. Murray has been named on the interchange bench and Siliva Havili drops out in the only change to the 17 that downed the Titans.

Sharks: Just the one change for the Broncos with Xavier Willison coming onto the bench and Fletcher Baker dropping to the reserves. Centre Kotoni Staggs is good to go despite copping a knock to the knee in the clash with the Sharks.
