Canterbury Bulldogs vs South Sydney Rabbitohs, Round 24 2026 - Expert Prediction

If Canterbury are going to complete their late-season charge into the finals, this is a game they have to win, and the Bulldogs are backed to cash in on their improved form against a vulnerable South Sydney defence.

Canterbury had a golden opportunity to move into the top eight last week before letting an 18-8 lead slip against the Roosters, eventually falling 20-18. It was a painful result, but it should not overshadow how dramatically the Bulldogs have turned their season around.

They have won six of their last eight matches and are now within striking distance of the finals. With a difficult clash against Penrith still to come, dropping this game against South Sydney would leave their September hopes in serious trouble.

That puts Canterbury -4.5 firmly in play. The Bulldogs have not just been winning during this late-season surge, they have been putting teams away. Their last four victories have come by an average margin of 19 points, including a 36-22 win over Melbourne, an 18-6 victory over the Warriors and a 32-0 demolition of the Tigers.

Canterbury Over 22.5 points also appeals against a South Sydney defence that continues to concede opportunities. The Rabbitohs have allowed at least 24 points in six consecutive games, while Canterbury have averaged 26.8 points across their last five victories.

The player angle is Josh Curran Anytime Tryscorer. Curran has scored in five consecutive matches and continues to provide a threat off the bench running hard through the middle and close to the line. At a time when Canterbury are finding more ways to generate points, backing his scoring streak to continue makes sense.

Head to Head

Canterbury have won three of the last five meetings with South Sydney, although the Rabbitohs claimed the first clash between these sides in 2026.

South Sydney won 32-24 in Round 5 after building an early advantage, but Canterbury won both meetings in 2025, including a dominant 32-0 performance at Accor Stadium.

Canterbury Bulldogs Form Analysis

Canterbury enter Round 24 sitting ninth and with virtually no margin for error in the race for the finals.

The Bulldogs appeared on track for another statement victory last week when they turned an 8-0 half-time deficit into an 18-8 lead against the Roosters. Three tries in 11 minutes had them in control, but they failed to close out the contest and conceded twice late in a 20-18 defeat.

Despite that result, their attack has also become more reliable when they get on top. The Bulldogs scored 36 against Melbourne, 32 against the Tigers and 30 against Gold Coast, and the combination of Lachlan Galvin and Stephen Crichton has provided greater stability through the middle of the field.

South Sydney Rabbitohs Form Analysis

South Sydney remain inside the top eight, but their recent performances have been anything but convincing.

The Rabbitohs raced to a 28-0 half-time lead against Parramatta last weekend and appeared headed for a comfortable victory before completely losing control of the game. The Eels scored 24 unanswered points after the break and South Sydney needed a clutch Cody Walker 40/20 in the final minutes to escape with a 28-24 win.

Defence remains the major concern. South Sydney have conceded 24 points or more in six consecutive games, giving up an average of 28 points across their last five.
