One step closer: Milne taking huge strides forward as Rabbitohs seek Grand Final revenge

After starring in South Sydney’s semi final defeat of Cronulla, Fiji Bati centre Taane Milne is preparing for a challenge of a different sorts this week as he braces for an aerial barrage from Panthers halfback Nathan Cleary.

After announcing himself as a crucial threat in the Rabbitohs' attack, Milne was under no illusions of the obstacle that lies ahead, with the 2021 Grand Final rematch bringing with it arguably his best on-field challenge to date as a winger.

Milne will be going up against Fiji Bati captain Bill Kikau and Api Koroisau from the Panthers.

The Panthers will host the Rabbitohs at 9.50pm Saturday.
