Rabbitohs NRL squad for round two against Roosters this Friday

The South Sydney Rabbitohs are pleased to announce their squad for their round two Ron Coote Cup match against the Roosters to be played this Friday 13 March at 8pm in an away game at Allianz Stadium, in the first leg of the Ron Coote Cup for season 2026.

Rabbitohs Head Coach Wayne Bennett has named Jayden Sullivan at halfback to play his 50th NRL game of his career.

This game will be the first leg of the Ron Coote Cup for the 2026 season, a trophy named in honour of Rugby League’s 14th Immortal and South Sydney and Eastern Suburbs legend, Ron Coote AM.

Mr Coote won six premierships and played in nine Grand Finals during his 15 seasons playing first grade with both South Sydney (four premierships) and Eastern Suburbs (two premierships). The Ron Coote Cup is played across both home and away fixtures in any given season, with the winner determined by the aggregate score from those two regular season matches. 2026 will be the 20th time the clubs have contested the Ron Coote Cup.
