Happy Good Friday to all! I hope it has been a good one thus far, it is about to get better with THREE massive games of football to enjoy! First up is the traditional, Bulldogs vs Rabbitohs clash which has been fiery in recent years, and with two sides outside the top eight.. it will add a layer of intensity to the contest! Join us at 4pm AEST for KICK-OFF.
