Punters rolling into Accor Stadium for this Round 24 showdown found themselves caught out as the South Sydney Rabbitohs put on a clinical display to overpower the Canterbury Bulldogs 22–6. In the lead-up, the market had a clear favourite in mind, with the Canterbury Bulldogs seeing some solid backing before the siren, shifting from 1.6→1.52 (firmed). Meanwhile, the South Sydney Rabbitohs drifted out in the lead-up, moving from 2.35→2.45 (drifted).
Despite the pre-match support for the home side, the contest quickly turned on its head once the action got underway. The Rabbitohs rolled into this fixture following a hard-fought W 28–24 v Parramatta Eels (H), and they carried that gritty form straight into enemy territory. The Bulldogs, on the other hand, were left searching for answers after coming off an L 18–20 v Sydney Roosters (A) last start.
