Can Souths stay fourth?
Souths United face a monumental task to remain outright fourth when they welcome newly-crowned premiers Peninsula Power to Wakerley Park.
With Sunshine Coast hot on their heels, Souths need to pick up at least a point against the undefeated Power to guarantee fourth position is still theirs come round’s end.
Peninsula have only drawn once this season, winning all their other games and romping to the title in Round 21 with a 3-0 win over Ipswich Knights.
