Team Tips: Coach Jason Demetriou is reportedly set to shake up his side for the clash against the Panthers. 

The Daily Telegraph’s Phil Rothfield said on Monday morning’s episode of the Big Sports Breakfast radio show that he’s getting “mail” out of Rabbitohs HQ that Demetriou is looking at moving Cody Walker to halfback and Jack Wighton to five-eighth.

Latrell Mitchell, who is another week away, will likely play in the centres when he returns in order to keep livewire young gun Jye Gray at fullback.

“I don’t think Dean Hawkins has measured up since replacing Lachlan Ilias at halfback,” Rothfield said.
