Not sure why there's a sudden influx of Bulldogs hate. Probably because none of the other fans (particularly Panthers fans) can cop seeing them in the big dance.
The Dogs and Rabbits have a lot in common off the field. Both clubs pride themselves on their juniors, community work and connection to their working class areas. Both teams do this well, dare i say better than the rest. Finally, both clubs have a strong rivalry on and off the field and it's no wonder that both games these year have been decided by less than 10 points. Plenty of fans to show their colours as well.
Not overly confident with this one as the Dogs are such a resilient team, however without Ennis (still not 100% on whether he will or won't play tbh) they lack direction. I think the loss of Issac is massive for our go forward but Koroisau is a noted replacement and the Dogs only replacements are Mbye (who isn't a specialist hooker), Reynolds (who would have to move out of position) and Damien Cook and Reni Maitua (need i say more?). However if the Dogs get a roll on they will be hard to stop and still boast the likes of Graham, Jackson, Eastwood and Hodkinson.
On the flip side, the Rabbitohs boast Greg Inglis, Sam Burgess and his brothers, Reynolds in form, and a firing Ben Te'o. We have the forwards to match the Dogs, the halves to create tries and the backs to score them. Got a feeling Inglis, Burgess and Te'o are going to have big games considering the latter 2 are leaving at season's end and Inglis is just a big name player. Hopefully we can overcome the loss of Luke, not to mention the 43 year burden, but i think the team is past that and will be using it as motivation.
Whoever wins this game will be doing it through the middle, as both teams contain international and state representatives throughout their pack (and overall team). The difference will be who can overcome the loss of their #9 better. Gonna be a cracking game and hopefully we can be singing Glory Glory at fulltime.
