Results: 1931-1940

The Rabbitohs kicked off the 1930’s off the back of their first golden era of premierships, winning both the 1930 and 1931 titles, however with World War II fast approaching and Rabbitohs players going out to fight for their country, results wavered. In spite of this, the Club only fell out of the top four once during this period.
