Wayne Bennett expects emotions to be running high when his struggling South Sydney NRL side strives to drive another nail into Brisbane's coffin.
As well as precious premiership points being on offer in a genuine crunch match between two fallen heavyweights, both teams will don special custom-made jumpers in a poignant tribute to motor neurone disease sufferer Jai Arrow.
Neither side has won since Arrow - who played 24 games for the Broncos and 98 for the Rabbitohs across seven seasons - publicly revealed on May 20 his devastating diagnosis.
After Thursday night's match, the jerseys will be auctioned off and the money will be provided directly to Arrow and his family to support them through the challenges ahead.
"He's handled it great, so it makes it a lot easier for the rest of us," Bennett said on Wednesday after unveiling the Rabbitohs' jumper that has all sponsors' names blacked out and only features the word "Arrow" and his number 13 on the back.
