Canterbury Bulldogs vs South Sydney Rabbitohs Preview

Canterbury and South Sydney meet in a pivotal contest between clubs crowded around the finals cut-off. The Bulldogs have won six of their past eight but let an important opportunity slip when the Roosters recovered to beat them 20-18. Souths maintained seventh place with a 28-24 victory over Parramatta, although their alternating win-loss sequence points to uneven form. The Rabbitohs must replace injured halfback Ashton Ward with Jayden Sullivan, while Campbell Graham’s return adds experience out wide and pushes Jye Gray to the bench. Canterbury makes one change after Sitili Tupouniua suffered another hamstring injury, with Alekolasimi Jones joining the interchange. Souths won the Round 5 meeting 32-24, but Canterbury’s recent consistency and stronger defensive platform give it an important edge in what should feel like a finals match.
