In Round 15 of the NRL, the Rabbitohs hosted the Bulldogs at Accor Stadium, where the Bulldogs emerged victorious against the ladder leaders.
Previous encounters included a massive crowd of 65,305 on Good Friday, and the Bulldogs' win over the Eels attracted 59,878 spectators.
Despite a commanding 32-0 victory in their last meeting, this match proved much tougher for the Bulldogs, who successfully clinched their second regular-season win over the Rabbitohs for the first time since 2011.
The game faced disruptions when extreme weather forced a near 30-minute suspension.
Rabbitohs winger Alex Johnston continued his notable performance against the Bulldogs by scoring a try, bringing his career total to 202 tries.
He is now just 10 tries shy of Ken Irvine's all-time record of 212 premiership tries.
In summary, the Bulldogs secured a tightly contested win, showcasing resilience against the Rabbitohs, while Johnston's ongoing pursuit of the scoring record adds an exciting narrative to the competition.
