We've reached the halfway point of the 2025 NRL season, and the competition is still tighter than ever. Just six points separate 5th place from last, meaning the Top 8 could look very different come finals time.

With all 17 clubs still in the hunt for a playoff berth, one thing is clear: no side in this competition is invincible.

The return of Wayne Bennett filled South Sydney Rabbitohs fans with their biggest hope since the mastermind coach departed the club in 2021.

However, the Bunnies have been left scavenging for scraps, with constant injuries proving too difficult to overcome in 2025.

It has been carnage throughout the Rabbitohs' playing group this season, with stars like Cameron Murray, Latrell Mitchell, Cody Walker, and Campbell Graham all sidelined for lengthy stints in 2025.

To add to the club's injury woes, the majority of those players' backups, such as Jayden Sullivan and Jye Gray, have also been relegated to the recovery room, leaving Bennett with few men who can help keep his side afloat.

With the club having very few troops remaining to form a competitive NRL team, South Sydney Rabbitohs fans will have to sit with the uncomfortable reality that their team will not be winning a premiership this year, wiping away all preseason hype the side may have garnered.
