Final score
South Sydney Rabbitohs 6
Canterbury Bulldogs 14
The South Sydney Rabbitohs will tackle the Canterbury Bulldogs at ANZ Stadium in Sydney this Saturday. Can the Bunnies end their losing run, or will it be the improving Bulldogs who strike? Join The Roar from 7:30pm (AEST) to find out.
Souths are in a bit of a low, with two losses in a row. They remain in fourth spot on the ladder, but have Manly and Parramatta breathing down their necks hard.
Despite a great start to the season, the Bunnies have been mixed in recent months. Worryingly, they have won only three games out of their past nine.
They were gutsy against league leaders Melbourne, but ultimately beaten.
This is a game they need to win, and on paper, should do. They have both Sam Burgess and Adam Reynolds back from injury, which is a huge bonus.
Souths won’t win many games without this dynamic duo. Braidon Burns is also back in the centres, with Adam Doueihi continuing at fullback.
But they cannot underestimate the in-form Doggies. They may be sitting second from bottom, with only seven wins this season, but they have turned a corner recently.
Canterbury head into this one with two victories in a row, including a gritty come-from-behind result against Wests Tigers.
There is a real resolve and toughness that is building at Belmore. The squad seems a lot happier and the mid-season recruits have fitted in well.
New recruit Dallin Watene-Zelezniak has helped at fullback and Jack Cogger is growing every week. They remain unchanged after their win over the Tigers.
Prediction
The Dogs might be in form, but South Sydney have to stand up in this one. Wayne Bennett has not been happy with them in the past few weeks and has criticised them publicly.
Burgess’ return will give them power up front, while Reynolds will give them direction in the halves. Souths have too much class across the park for Canterbury to deal with.
Souths to win by 14 points.
