Fiji Bati fullback Marcelo Montoya has been named to start for the Bulldogs when they take on the Rabbitohs tonight.

With no injuries from their Round 3 win, the Bulldogs are expected to retain the same roster this week.

South Sydney also received a confidence boost with their first win of the season, a confident 34‑6 display against the Manly Sea Eagles.

The two sides are fierce rivals and have traditionally put on good displays.

Since 2007 this will be the ninth time the Rabbitohs and Bulldogs faced up against one another in the Good Friday clash, in which the Bulldogs have come away with the win five times out of the eight matches.

The Rabbitohs take on the Bulldogs at 5.10pm while the Sharks meet the Storm at 9.05pm.

Meanwhile, Fiji Bati’s Viliame Kikau and Waqa Blake were instrumental scoring a try each for the Penrith Panthers producing their finest performance of the season to date to stun North Queensland Cowboys 33‑14 last night.
