THE TEAM NEWS

CANTERBURY BULLDOGS

• Canterbury Bulldogs made it three wins from their last four games as they earned a thrilling success in golden point of their clash with North Queensland Cowboys last week.
• The Bulldogs fought back to level the scores late on before Matt Burton’s brilliant field goal landed the win but that success came at a cost with Raymond Faitala-Mariner, Franklin Pele and Jayden Okunbor all joining a long list of unavailable players.

Starting 13: Perham, Kiraz, Averillo, Alamoti, Addo-Carr, Burton, Flanagan, King, Mahoney, Sutton, Waddell, Preston, Edwards – Interchanges: Reynolds, Morrin, Tanner, Topine – Reserves: Burns, Oloapu, Hughes, Hoffman, Davey

SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS

• South Sydney Rabbitohs were beaten for the third time in their last four outings as their underwhelming start to the season continued.
• Melbourne Storm got the better of them but the Rabbits blew a host of chances to claim the win and they will be desperate to respond here. They have lost winger Alex Johnston but key forward Tevita Tatola is slated to return from a knee injury.

Starting 13: L. Mitchell, Milne, Tass, Graham, Tu’itupou Thompson, Walker, Ilias, Tatola, Cook, Burgess, Koloamatangi, Host, Murray – Interchanges: Cartwright, Suluka-Fifita, Moale, Sele – Reserves: Chee Kam, Taaffe, Lovett, Karapani, Hawkins

Unavailable: Liam Knight (Injured), Siliva Havili (Injured), Jai Arrow (Injured), Shaquai Mitchell (Injured), Alex Johnston (Injured)

THE PREDICTION

Canterbury Bulldogs secured an excellent win against North Queensland Cowboys in round 5 and will hope to notch another victory here as they host South Sydney Rabbitohs. The Dogs have done a good job of late and have proven tough to beat but they are missing a host of talent which could hinder their chances here. South Sydney are yet to hit their straps this term but they have won the past four matchups between the two teams and they are favoured to prevail in this contest.
