Before the boots hit the turf Thursday night, Canberra Raiders and South Sydney Rabbitohs waged a smaller, more public war — one of words and memory, fought across social media in the hours before a match that carried genuine weight for both clubs. It is an old ritual in new clothing: rivals reminding each other of their wounds before the real reckoning begins. For Canberra, three straight losses made the banter feel less like sport and more like necessity — a way to project confidence the scoreboard had not yet confirmed.

The headline uses dramatic language ('brutal banter') to sensationalize routine social media exchanges.
