Preview:
The Rabbitohs return home this week licking their wounds following last week’s 10-point defeat at the hands of the Storm.
Outside of Campbell Graham, South Sydney struggled to find any chemistry on attack, leaving the Rabbitohs with plenty of work to do if they hold any hope of finishing top four.
The Bulldogs have nothing to play for on the ladder, but they do head to ANZ Stadium with a handy two-game winning streak.
Canterbury received a bit of a confidence boost last week defeating the Tigers 18-16 at ANZ, and although Saturday night’s game is technically an “away” fixture, you can expect the Dogs to fancy their chances against the Bunnies.
For what it’s worth, Souths are 2-4 following a previous loss this season. The good news is they’ve won four games over the Dogs dating back to 2017, but this is still a huge test of the Rabbitohs’ maturity.
The bookies aren’t giving the Bulldogs any chance this week – and why should they? The Dogs haven’t won three-straight games since 2017. Then again, Canterbury’s form at ANZ in recent weeks suggests this could be close.
