This age-old rivalry of South and East Sydney is just hours away, as the Roosters and Rabbitohs collide to keep their NRL season alive.
The two foundation clubs head into Round 27 with a sense of existential dread, as both sides are plagued with injuries and suspensions off the back of a mutual mid-season slump.
While the Roosters are undefeated in their last four games, their longest winning streak of 2023, the Rabbitohs have the redneck Australian sports media to silence, after a week of low-brow rumour-mongering and racist clickbait at the expense of their star players.
Although this doesn’t take away from the fact that the Bunnies have endured a run of patchy form ahead their Round 26 bye, with their most recent game ending in a 29-10 defeat to the Knights.
When they met earlier this year as the Roosters came out 20-18 winners. The Rabbitohs have a four-win, four-loss record at Accor Stadium this season, while the Roosters are winless in their past four visits during the 2022 season.
However, despite the fact that this may be the most explosive and evenly matched showdown of the season, Rabbitohs fans truly do not believe that the Chookies have it in them.
“They are gonna get shmoked” says Botany Road icon, Darcey Ville (66), out the side of his mouth with his iconic Shouth Shydney lisp.
“All that shhit thatsh been in the newsh about Churchilsh halfwit shun”
“It’sh jusht firing the boyshup more”
As Darcey points out, there’s nothing that the ‘Goosters’ can do to prevent the imminent annilihiation, which has been mostly caused by the sheer disrespect shown to the South Sydney Rabbitohs and their players by the NewsCorp ambulance chasers and social media trolls.
“The boysh are ready to shmashem” he says.
“The Jared Waerea-Hargreavesh ish acshually lucky he got shushpended lasht week”
“I don’t give a fuck how big this bashtard is. He’s gotta nothing againsht the wall of red and green”
“Shaq and Cooky woulda put him on his fucken arsh”
“One hundred pershent”
When asked what he thinks of the current standard of sports journalism in this country, Darcey says you wouldn’t pish on half theshe cunsh if they were of fucken fire.
