South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Canterbury Bulldogs prediction
South Sydney Rabbitohs went into their bye week having won two and lost one of their opening three games. They responded excellent to losing away at Sydney Roosters with a gritty 20-16 triumph over Wests Tigers at home. The week off came at a good time for them and having not undergone any travel, will be raring to go.
Canterbury Bulldogs are also coming off the back of two wins and a loss. They put up just 16 points at home last time out, losing 16-24 to Newcastle Knights. Whilst they now have to make the trip up to the Rabbitohs, the hosts’ squad is fresher and should be better conditioned to maintain a higher level of performance the longer this match goes on. Therefore, back a home victory.
