South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Canterbury Bulldogs, Round 15 2025 - Expert Prediction


Despite being crippled by Origin, the Bulldogs will do the deed on South Sydney covering the line as the favourite in what is likely to be a low scoring match.

The Bulldogs will be missing Stephen Crichton, Matt Burton, Max King and Kurt Mann, while the Bunnies come into the contest without their two guns Latrell Mitchell (Origin and Cody Walker (injury) which certainly takes the sting out of this contest. 

That is the major reason why I like the under 44.5 because it is real hard to see this game exploding without all of the above strike power. The past two have also hit the under between the Dogs and Rabbits.

Canterbury have the depth in their squad to cover the 7.5 points as the favourite while it is hard to see how Souths are going to find points.

Jacob Preston will return from suspension this week and will look to keep his 3-game try scoring run rolling against Souths, who he also scored against earlier this season.

  • Canterbury Bulldogs are 8-0 vs Bottom 9 teams
  • Canterbury Bulldogs are ranked 2nd in Run Metres vs South Sydney Rabbitohs's defence ranked 17th
  • Canterbury Bulldogs are ranked 1st in Territory vs South Sydney Rabbitohs's defence ranked 16th
  • Jacob Preston has scored in 3 consecutive games and bagged a 4-pointer against Souths earlier this season.

Head to Head 


Souths have been a problem for the Doggies winning 6 of the last 8 games against Canterbury. However, the Dogs have won 2 of the last 3 matches. 

South won the match 20-16 in 2024, but the Dogs got their revenge in the first match against the Bunnies in Round 7 this season, blanking Souths 32-0.

The previous two matches between Souths and Canterbury have gone under the game total.

Souths have fallen from grace after two consecutive losses to the Warriors and Raiders, sitting back down in 14th in the ladder. It certainly isn’t a hole they can’t dig out of considering they have the same amount of wins as the Dolphins in ninth and are 1-point off seventh place.

The problem at the moment for the Bunnies is their fitness and it is obviously affecting them on game day when there are new combinations everywhere. 

The Rabbits give up the most opposition run metres of any side which has them ranked 16th in territory in the league. They are simply playing too much footy in their own end to win matches.

With the Raiders on a run the Bulldogs have slipped into second on the ladder after their blowout loss to the Dolphins in Round 13. They bounced back in a good way against the Eels last weekend, getting back to their restricting  style of footy and running away with the game in the second half. 

Canterbury had 64% of the ball after the break and a whopping 79% of the territory, not even giving the Eels any chance of making a play at their line, winning the tackles inside 20m 30-0 in the second half. This is exactly the type of game that Cameron Ciraldo wants his men to play and they executed perfectly. 

The Lachie Galvin drama has now moved to Bankstown with the former Tiger coming on late, pushing Toby Sexton to hooker and joining Burton in the halves. It will be interesting to see how this one plays out.

The Dogs will be without Stephen Crichton, Matt Burton, Max King and Kurt Mann who are all on Origin duty, however, they still fill a strong side. 

A new and exciting halves pairing of Toby Sexton and Lachie Galvin will steer the ship in the absence of Burton.

Jacob Kiraz moves to the centres with Blake Wilson coming in on the wing. Josh Curran will move in as prop and Bailey Hayward will start at lock. Jacob Preston comes back from his suspension and will start in the second row.
