Finals may be out of reach for the Rabbitohs and increasingly unlikely for the Knights, but there’s still plenty to play for when the two teams face off at McDonald Jones Stadium on Saturday.
Pride is on the line for the Rabbitohs, who sit 15th and are coming off a loss to the last-placed Tigers.

Meanwhile, the Knights’ chances of playing finals football took a big hit last week when they lost in a golden point thriller to the Sharks.
To keep their small hopes alive they need to win their final three games — and hope that some other results go their way too.
Adam O’Brien has been forced into making a key change for his must-win game after five-eighth Tyson Gamble broke his hand last week. Jack Cogger will start in the halves with Will Pryce being called onto the bench.
The Rabbitohs have also copped some disruption to the spine with veteran playmaker Cody Walker unavailable due to a head knock. Dean Hawkins replaces him in the No.7 jersey.
And in some feel-good news for the Bunnies, young gun Tyrone Munro will play his second NRL game of the season. The 19-year-old fractured his collarbone in Round 6 and made a successful return to the field last week via NSW Cup.
