Oh, what an electrifying contest we're about to witness! The intimidating Canterbury Bulldogs, who have been chewing through the competition like a fresh bone, are squaring off against the plucky but inconsistent South Sydney Rabbitohs. Will the Rabbitohs hop to it, or will they end up as dog chow? Let's see if past matchups shed some light.
Take a gander at that last showdown in April '25 when the Bulldogs silenced the Rabbitohs with a jumping 32-0. That screams something, doesn't it? "Woof woof" (that's dog for "we demolished you.") But hold on to your carrots, folks. The Rabbitohs have had some bite against the Bulldogs, snapping out victories in '24 and '23.
Yet, the current season showcases the Bulldogs proudly wagging their tail at the number one spot in the NRL Premiership, while the Rabbitohs are burrowed deep down at #12. With the Bulldogs coming off a juicy 30-12 victory over the Parramatta Eels, and the Rabbitohs licking their wounds after a 36-12 clobbering from the Canberra Raiders, the old adage rings true: dogs chase, rabbits run!
Feeling a little hop-less for the Rabbitohs? Don't fret; remember, even the underdog can have his day. But based on their recent chase records, it feels like the Bulldogs might be fetching another victory tonight.
