From their first meeting in 2002, the Rabbitohs had the wood 4-1 over the merged Wests Tigers outfit until the joint venture won 4 games in a row between 2004-2006, all by substantial margins.
In what was a sweltering Sunday afternoon contest, the Rabbitohs returned to Leichhardt Oval for a marquee fixture. Both teams were fighting for a top-8 spot, Souths for their first Finals Series berth since 1989, Wests their first since their 2005 Premiership after a disappointing 11th place finish in their 2006 defence.
