Phil Gould has revived his legendary ‘Final Word’ pre-game address, a fixture of State of Origin football, to rally the Bulldogs’ supporters ahead of their highly anticipated match against the Rabbitohs. In a video shared across the club’s social media, Gould confidently navigates an empty Accor Stadium, delivering a stirring speech.
He declares, “Bulldogs fans, it’s the traditional Good Friday showdown against the South Sydney Rabbitohs – two of the biggest clubs with enormous followings.” Gould recalls the intense rivalries, noting past grand finals they’ve contested five decades apart, with the Rabbitohs coming out on top historically. However, he insists that today will be different, urging fans to show their support as the Rabbitohs also have a significant fan base.
The match promises to be a thrilling event, with expectations of nearly 70,000 spectators filling the stadium. With the fervour of Good Friday traditions and Gould’s electrifying motivation, fans are gearing up for what should be a spectacular day of rugby league action.
