The Bulldogs have lost two on the trot.
The Rabbitohs have won three straight.
Yet as we enter the final round of NRL, only the former is guaranteed a spot in this year's finals series.
Everyone knows how destructive the Dogs can be on their day, but the question is, when will that be?
Now – on the eve of the finals – they have the chance to send a message to the rest of the competition, just like the Sharks did last week, that they are a genuine threat heading into the finals.
And tonight's match has extra meaning, with the Bulldogs still a chance of finishing as high as fourth or as low as seventh depending on other results.
The Bulldogs will host the Rabbitohs at 9.50 tonight.
Tomorrow Melbourne Storm will meet the Sharks at 9.30pm.
