South Sydney coach Wayne Bennett believes the Rabbitohs can still reach the finals despite recent losses.
South Sydney coach Wayne Bennett has stressed for the past few weeks that his side isn't a top-four team yet, but after getting through a brutal month against some of the premiership favourites, the Rabbitohs can sense a path for them to surge towards a spot in the finals.
Four-straight losses against the four top teams doesn't tell the whole story for Souths, who lost by six points to the Warriors and Bulldogs, blew an early lead in Canberra and fell to the Storm in golden point in a thriller at Accor Stadium.
The tough stretch has left them only above the Titans on the ladder, but they're only four points outside the top eight, still have two byes up their sleeve and welcome back injured stars Cody Walker and Campbell Graham this week.
