Live: Rabbitohs v Bulldogs 7:18pm: ANZ Stadium, Sydney Olympic Park, Friday 7.35pm (AEST) Last meeting: Round 4 2013 - Souths 17 bt Bulldogs 12 at ANZ Stadium Head-to-head: Souths 65 Bulldogs 77 drawn 4 Referees: Matt Cecchin, Gavin Reynolds TV: Channel 9 (Live in Sydney, delay in Brisbane 9.30pm) TAB: Souths $1.38 Bulldogs $3.10 Draw $23 FootyTab: Bulldogs +4.5 Phil Mitchell writes: What a difference a week - and the return of two gun players - makes. A week ago Souths appeared in danger of slipping out of the top two after one win in four matches without injured superstar Greg Inglis. But the return of Inglis and skipper John Sutton made the world of difference on Friday as Souths accounted for Manly twice in a season for the first time in 24 years. The finals-like intensity in which that match was played will serve Souths well for a host of big games ahead, beginning with Canterbury. The Rabbitohs got the better of the Bulldogs (17-12) in round four but Canterbury are in better form now. The Bulldogs will be buoyed by their defeat of the Raiders in Canberra last Saturday without Ben Barba, Sam Kasiano and Greg Eastwood. Phil's tip: Rabbitohs by 10. AAP writes: Undoubtedly the match of the round. Souths can return to equal top spot and remain in the hunt for the minor premiership and the Bulldogs must win to retain any hope of securing a top-four finals berth. Accusations of diving and dangerous play have dogged the Rabbitohs all week, while the future of star fullback Ben Barba has been an unwanted distraction to the Bulldogs" build-up. Both sides probably can't wait to get stuck in and let their football do the talking. Souths were super impressive in bouncing back to form last week against Manly and say they've already clicked into finals mode. Key: If Greg Inglis is fully fit - and that's a big if after he copped a knock to his suspect knee against the Sea Eagles - his influence is likely to swing the match Souths" way.
