The South Sydney Rabbitohs are pleased to announce their teams for the Round 22 match against Sydney Roosters at ANZ Stadium this Friday Aug 10th, with the NRL fixture scheduled to kick off at 7:50pm. Rabbitohs Head Coach Anthony Seibold has named Richie Kennar to return to the side following a knee injury to Adam Doueihi. The Rabbitohs and Roosters will play in the second leg of the 2018 Ron Coote Cup on Friday, part of a double header, which includes the Harvey Norman NSW Women's Premiership Grand Final between the South Sydney Rabbitohs and Mounties. The Ron Coote Cup celebrates the career of one of the game's greatest players, Ron Coote AM, who won six premierships and played in nine Grand Finals during his 15 seasons playing first grade football with both South Sydney and Eastern Suburbs. The Rabbitohs currently hold a 12-point advantage having won the first match between the two Foundation Clubs earlier this season 26-14. The Ron Coote Cup is played over the two premiership games played between the Clubs each year with the aggregate scores determining the winner. Inglis, Jennings, Doueihi, Nicholls, Musgrove, and O'Connor are unavailable due to injury.
The Rabbitohs will wear a special Women in League jersey featuring pink and green hoops in the traditional South Sydney design. This is the same jersey design that the Rabbitohs' women's team wears in their matches, including Friday night's Grand Final at ANZ Stadium.
