A bumper crowd should gather at ANZ Stadium to see South Sydney, who were back to their past last week with a win over Manly, take on a Canterbury side pushing for a top four spot.
The return of John Sutton and Greg Inglis saw the Rabbitohs was enough to spark the Bunnies last week after a month of indifferent performance.
South trailed Manly with 20 minutes to go but in pleasing signs for their supporters, Souths displayed the composure and belief that has been a trait of their side this year and posted three late tries.
With that winning feeling back and a record of 8-1 at ANZ Stadium, a ground they return to for the first time in five weeks after a series of tough road trips, Souths should prove hard to beat.
Canterbury has been in the news this week with confirmation that fullback Ben Barba has requested an earlier release from his current contract.
Not the ideal scenario for the Bulldogs on the eve of the finals but one that, given the run of dramas at the club this year, they’ll be able to handle.
They travelled to Canberra last week and were able to register a win when most visiting teams have struggled, 28 – 16. It was the Dogs’ fourth win from the past five weeks.
James Graham was outstanding for the Dogs in that match but will need more support from fellow forwards this week as they shape up against a strong Rabbitohs back who, should be able to lay the foundation for the win.
