THE PREDICTION

It has been a difficult season for the Bulldogs and their season is petering out in miserable fashion, and it could get worse here as they face the Rabbitohs. Souths need to get the win to host an elimination final and they are finishing the regular season in excellent form having won six of their last seven matches. They did show signs of easing off the gas last weekend as they only beat the West Tigers by two points when they should have won it much more comfortably. That may spark a reaction from them and lead to a more comprehensive win here so expect them to win by a margin of 12 points or more.
