The South Sydney Rabbitohs are pleased to announce their squad for ANZAC Round eight of the 2024 NRL Premiership against the Melbourne Storm to be played this ANZAC Day, Thursday 25 April, at 7:50pm at AAMI Park.
Rabbitohs Head Coach Jason Demetriou has named Jacob Gagai on the wing to replace the injured Tyrone Munro. Shaquai Mitchell has been named to start in the front row to replace the injured Junior Tatola. Damien Cook returns to the hooker role with Peter Mamouzelos and Jai Arrow joining the interchange bench.
The Rabbitohs will wear a special Navy-themed jersey in the 2024 ANZAC Round, marking the third year of an ongoing partnership with the Royal Australian Navy. The jersey underscores our enduring commitment to the values we share with the Royal Australian Navy, including mateship, high performance, commitment to the team and achieving success.
The 2024 ANZAC Jersey proudly mirrors the Navy’s ‘sailor suits’ ceremonial uniform, similar to those worn by Royal Australian Navy personnel in the Second World War. Today, customary ‘sailor suits’ are reserved chiefly for ceremonial occasions, however, on those occasions when they are worn, they serve to remind Australians of the longevity of their Navy, its traditions and its consistent contribution to our nation’s maritime and economic security over more than 100 years.
$5 from every Rabbitohs ANZAC jersey sold through the Rabbitohs will be donated to Keeping Watch, a perpetual charitable fund that provides assistance to serving members of the Royal Australian Navy and their families who are in financial need.
