South Sydney are playing for pride and a positive beginning for 2017 when they take on the finals bound Bulldogs on Friday night.

The 13th placed Rabbitohs will have no influence on the Dogs place in the finals regardless of the result but there is certainly pride on the line.

First Nations forward Kyle Turner says, after whats been another disappointing 2016, he and his teammates are hoping for a good result to set them up for next season.
