Our Balmain Tigers will be hosting the South Sydney Rabbitohs this Saturday at Leichhardt Oval in the final round of the UNE Harold Matthews Cup regular season. 

As we’re at the business end of the season, the side will be looking for a win over a strong South Sydney side to give them the best chance at playing finals football. 

Victory this weekend, along with other results going their way, opens the door for a finals appearance for the Tigers. 

The side is coming off the back of a convincing 30-8 win over the Bulldogs last weekend, with winger James Kerr completing a hat-trick.  

Head Coach, Andrew Kazzi, has named a largely unchanged squad from last week's match, with Noah Vaotangi joining the starting line-up at prop.
