Charity Shield history

The Charity Shield is a traditional curtain-raiser for the new rugby league season and was first held in 1982. It has been held in every season since between the Dragons and Rabbitohs, apart from 2000 and 2001 when South Sydney had been eliminated from the competition.

The overall record is remarkably close. The Dragons have won 16 games, the Rabbitohs 15 and there have been 5 draws.

There will be a number of representative players on display at Glen Willow Oval in Mudgee. The Bunnies in particular have selected a strong side, led by new captain Adam Reynolds, fullback signing Latrell Mitchell and gun hooker Damien Cook.

Rabbitohs: 1. Latrell Mitchell, 2. Dane Gagai, 3. James Roberts, 4. Braidon Burns, 5. Campbell Graham, 6. Cody Walker, 7. Adam Reynolds (c), 8. Junior Tatola, 9. Damien Cook, 10. Thomas Burgess, 11.

Who will win the Charity Shield?

The Rabbitohs have re-tooled under master coach Wayne Bennett and will be eyeing premiership glory in 2020. But the Dragons will have been stung by a poor season 12 months ago and keen to put an end to Souths' long winning run in the Charity Shield. We'll tip the Dragons to just shade this one in Mudgee.
