The Way We See It: The Bulldogs might be 1-2 after three rounds but they have surprised many with just how competitive they have been minus four of their most important players. The return of Ben Barba and Frank Pritchard will add plenty more strings to their bow; however they haven’t been handed the easiest of tasks upon their return. To be honest, we wouldn’t be surprised if Barba is a little quieter than usual given that he hasn’t played for a month and there is so much anticipation surrounding his return. The Rabbitohs have been devastating in attack this season and we think they might just have a bit too much class for the Bulldogs at this time of year. Rabbitohs by eight points.
