The Rabbitohs took their time finding the extra points to close out their last match against the Bulldogs which still poses a question mark on their overall performance as a squad, contenders or pretenders they will begin their testing with the Wests Tigers who fought for every inch against the panthers but came up short in the last 10 minutes overall showing a lot of spirit and resilience, this match means a lot for momentum points and the ladder, the loser will feel the pinch.
