South Sydney are marching on to collect their 9th Wooden Spoon if the bookies are right on the money following the release of the 2009 NRL draw.
The Bunnies – who lost their first seven games this season – were installed as favourites for the least desired title in Rugby League along with the Canberra Raiders.
