The red-hot Rabbitohs meet Parramatta on Friday night with Jason Demetriou's side looking to inflict more pain on the 2022 grand finalists at Allianz Stadium.
South Sydney went overtook the Broncos to go top of the ladder following their 20-0 win over Wests Tigers in Round 11. While it wasn't as clinical as many expected, the side's defence held firm in a strong sign for Demetriou moving forward.
The Eels' tough draw and narrow losses to start 2023 is coming back to bite them leading into the Origin series with defeats to the Titans and Raiders dropping Brad Arthur's men to 14th after 11 rounds.
