The South Sydney Rabbitohs are pleased to announce their squad for ANZAC Round eight against the Melbourne Storm to be played this ANZAC Day, Friday 25 April, at 8:10pm at AAMI Park. Rabbitohs Head Coach Wayne Bennett has shuffled the team’s backline with Latrell Mitchell named at fullback, Bayleigh Bentley-Hape named on the wing and Campbell Graham moving to centre. Jayden Sullivan returns from suspension at half back with Cody Walker returning to five-eighth. Euan Aitken has been named in the second row, Jai Arrow shifts to lock, and Jye Gray moves to the interchange bench. Hubner, Johnston, Humphreys, Ravalawa, S.Mitchell, Murray, Munro, Myers, Burns, McCarthy, Lovett, Host, Fakaosi, Waqa, Sprague, Heslin and Keung are out injured.
The players will be wearing the Rabbitohs’ 2025 ANZAC Round Jersey in Friday’s game. This year’s design honours the Royal Australian Navy’s Mine Warfare and Clearance Diving Group — a unit known for its intense preparation, precision, and resilience under pressure. It also marks the fourth year of a strong and evolving partnership between the Rabbitohs and the Royal Australian Navy — a relationship grounded in shared values like discipline, leadership, and service to something greater than self.
