The South Sydney Rabbitohs are pleased to announce their teams for the Club’s first trial match of the 2017 season against the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles at Campbelltown Sports Stadium this Saturday 11 February, with the NRL fixture scheduled to kick off at 7:30pm.
Rabbitohs Head Coach Michael Maguire has named a mixture of experienced NRL players with young, up-and-coming players in his side to take on the Sea Eagles as they put their best foot forward in the lead to the start of the season proper. South Sydney Junior Jason Clark will have the honour of captaining the Rabbitohs on Saturday night.
In recognition of the encouraging growth of our South-Western Sydney based Members over recent years, the Rabbitohs will return to Campbelltown Sports Stadium for the first time since 1999 when Sean Garlick led the Rabbitohs to a 16-10 victory over the Western Suburbs Magpies.
To add to the excitement of the day, Campbelltown Sports Stadium will also play host to both an NYC clash between the Rabbitohs and Sea Eagles, a match between the North Sydney Bears and the Blacktown Workers RLFC, and a NSW Physical Disability Rugby League match between South Sydney and Manly prior to the main game.
