Rabbitohs vs Storm Prediction & Tips: 2025 NRL Round 16
Inconsistent Rabbitohs
The Rabbitohs were defeated 24-18 by the Bulldogs last week. With both teams missing their stars, the Rabbitohs were ambushed early. A spirited second half comeback gave them hope but, in the end, there was too much for them to overcome. With an 88% completion rate, it was one of their better performances and it suggests they are a team trending in the right direction. Having just a 44% share of possession hurt their cause. So too did 32 missed tackles and averaging just 7.3m per carry. There is still plenty of improvement left in this side.
Storm Warning
The Storm made a statement in their 38-14 victory in Round 14 over the Cowboys at home. It was a dominant 6-try display that gave their opponents minimal opportunities to build pressure. The victory was established on ball control (54% possession & 81% completion rate) and power when carrying the ball (9.1m per carry, 668 PCM’s & 6 line breaks). They were at their dangerous best and show no signs of regressing as the business end of the season approaches.
Stats That Matter
- The Storm have won 11 of the past 13 matches against the Rabbitohs.
- The Rabbitohs have struggled in attack this season. They average just 17ppg compared to the Storm 33ppg. They are behind in defence too, allowing 23ppg whereas the Storm concede just 19ppg.
- The average margin of victory in the past 5 matches between these two sides is 15.6 points. This is skewed with 3 of the 5 victories coming by 12 points or less.
The Usual Storm
The Storm are strong favourites in this game. Unfortunately, there are too many shortcomings for the Rabbitohs. They have been inconsistent and are further impacted by injuries to key players. It would be a major upset if they were to win this match. The decision then becomes ‘how much’ the visitors win by. Their record this season suggests a comfortable one is ahead. All Origin players are expected to feature, and this further enhances the power the Storm possess. Given the Rabbitohs struggles in attack, it looks like the Storm will be able to cover the line with ease.
