As part of a series profiling the expected Round 1 sides for all 17 NRL clubs in 2024, let’s see if Souths can snatch a title after last year’s collapse. South Sydney enter 2024 with hopes to claim the highest prize. Despite various challenges last year, the team looks poised to make a strong comeback. With Jack Wighton as the standout signing and Jason Demetriou backed by the management, South Sydney has their eyes set on winning a Premiership. Souths are focused on finding the team that can beat the Panthers, possibly competing against the Roosters. The star power at Souths suggests that anything short of a GF is a failure and a Premiership should be the goal. The team is well-equipped with talented players and a clear coaching style. The recruitment at Souths has been sparse, with just two new signings. Sean Keppie is one of them, and fans are excited to see where he fits in the team. Souths have lost players but have also made strategic replacements. Watch out for Souths in the next season as their players continue to develop and their team takes shape.
