Rabbitohs by 14, last weeks loss will have woken them up and doggies are due to not turn up. Lafai to score a double though
We didn't turn up for the first 60 minutes of the last game. I reckon this will be a cracker though. Big forward battle, they've got the better halves but that outside backline is very ordinary at the moment. If we can contain GI I reckon we're a proper chance. Fuck I wish Mbye was playing though.
If the Dogs stick it to the Bunnies pack for the whole 80mins they're a chance. Souths class will come through in the end, Bunnies by 8.
This is such a tough one for me. I think any team with a strong forward pack is going to trouble the Rabbitohs this year and there's few better packs than the Dogs (at least through the middle) but over 2014 and the beginning of this year I feel like the Dogs have little to no game management ability despite having quite a solid win/loss record. Their ability to control games when on top is non-existent, they struggle to win back momentum when it goes against them and they never know how to finish a game off. For that reason the Rabbits should have too much class despite their short comings in the forwards but I honestly just don't know. Bulldogs 1-5 @ 7.00 is my tip in the end. Reynolds being demoted to the bench sealed it for me.
Rabbits safe bet. Eels just had a blinder last week and the Dogs stole a match because of the scheduling and a field goal missed from 15m out. They didn't not turn up lol, just were completely shown up by a better side.
Nothing like a cut out ball from your prop on play 1 off a kick off to a 2nd rower hugging the touch line in wet conditions. :facepalm:
