Bulldogs:
1. Hayze Perham 2. Jacob Kiraz 3. Jake Averillo 4. Paul Alamoti 5. Josh Addo-Carr 6. Matt Burton 7. Kyle Flanagan 8. Max King 9. Reed Mahoney 10. Ryan Sutton 11. Corey Waddell 12. Jacob Preston 13.

The Dogs have plenty of injuries especially in the forwards, and a short turn around after playing on Sunday in heavy conditions against the Cowboys, won in extra time by the Dogs. Played on Good Friday will ensure there is a good crowd supporting both teams. Max King (eye) and Jacob Preston (hand) have been named despite copping injuries against the Cowboys, but Raymond Faitala-Mariner (head knock), Franklin Pele (broken arm) and Jayden Okunbor (suspension) are all out. Harrison Edwards comes in at lock and Jackson Topine and Jayden Tanner join the bench.
Rabbitohs:
1. Latrell Mitchell 2. Taane Milne 3. Isaiah Tass 4. Campbell Graham 5. Izaac Tu’itupou Thompson 6. Cody Walker 7. Lachlan Ilias 8. Tevita Tatola 9. Damien Cook 10. Thomas Burgess 11. Keaon Koloamatangi 12. Jacob Host 13. Cameron Murray 14. Jed Cartwright 15. Daniel Suluka-Fifita 16. Davvy Moale 17. Hame Sele 18. Michael Chee Kam 19. Blake Taaffe 20. Ben Lovett 21. Josiah Karapani 22. Dean Hawkins
Souths have won the last four encounters and look the better side to me. Try scoring machine Alex Johnston is out with injury. Taane Milne will replace winger Alex Johnston, who suffered a head knock on the weekend, while prop Tevita Tatola has returned from a knee injury. Daniel Suluka Fifita goes to the bench and Michael Chee Kam slides to 18th man.
Referee: Gerard Sutton
The Bulldogs pulled off a miracle victory last week against the Cowboys, and looked slightly sharper in attack with Josh Reynolds off the bench.
The Rabbitohs were less than at their best in losing to the Storm. The Bulldogs are still struggling to put together a full pack and will have a hard time against the powerful Rabbitohs forwards. Souths to bounce back on Good Friday.
