Words to the wise: Souths set sights on Dogs

More than 30 years of Bulldogs brutality was enough for the Rabbitohs, writes Brad Walter.
''Throughout their years of dominance over us they have shown no contrition, no mercy; indeed they have seemed to thrive on brutality, almost as if they are forever taking revenge on us for Bobby McCarthy and the 1967 grand final. Well they have had enough revenge for McCarthy, enough revenge for a lifetime. It is time we took some revenge of our own for the way in which they have treated us on the field for the last 25 years.''
This is the excerpt from Russell Crowe's Book of Feuds that South Sydney captain Roy Asotasi insists will ensure he and his team-mates are fired up for tonight's match against Canterbury at ANZ Stadium.
A Bulldogs premiership winning player, Asotasi admitted to knowing little about the Rabbitohs' proud history before Crowe convinced him and fellow Kiwi stars David Kidwell and Nigel Vagana to join the club in 2007. Now he can't see himself playing anywhere else.

I think the Book of Feuds is a great initiative that has a definite place in South Sydney's folklore but every time it's raised in the press we get hammered.
Perhaps we should be a bit more select in how we motivate ourselves when we approach these big games so we dont give anything away.
