Easter Friday begins with it an absolute cracker of a match with the South Sydney Rabbitohs taking on the Canterbury Bulldogs. Join The Roar for live scores and coverage from 4:00pm (AEST).

South Sydney have shaken off a rough start to post back-to-back wins for the first time this season.

They currently sit 7th on the ladder and will be hoping to achieve another big jump with a win on Friday afternoon.

Canterbury are one of the form teams in the competition, currently sitting in second place with a 4-2 record. They managed to scrape a one-point win over the inconsistent Warriors in New Zealand last weekend.

Souths have been forced to make two changes this weekend, with both George Burgess and Ben Te’o suspended. Luke Burgess replaces his brother in the run-on side, while Chris McQueen will start for Te’o.

Ben Lowe and Joe Picker have been named in the 17, while Joel Reddy and Alex Johnston have been named to an extended bench.

The Bulldogs have made one change, with Pat O’Hanlon replacing the injured Frank Pritchard on the bench. Perennial 18th man Moses Mbye has once again been named on the extended bench for the Dogs.

Although the Rabbits have won the past two meetings between the two clubs, the Bulldogs have won 15 of the last 22, showing that the Bulldogs have dominated this matchup in recent times.

Prediction
Probably one of the hardest games to pick this weekend, with both teams in fairly good form coming in.

Considering the Rabbitohs missed the least amount of tackles in a game since the stat was recorded last weekend, I’ll back them in a thriller.

Rabbitohs by 2.
