Round 7 Good Friday results, highlights, updates, latest news; Phil Gould brings back 'Final Word' speech for Bulldogs vs Rabbitohs

Phil Gould has brought back the iconic 'Final Word' pre-game speech that became synonymous with State of Origin football in years gone by.

However, this time around, Gould has used it to fire up Bulldogs fans ahead of a blockbuster clash against the Rabbitohs.

In a clip posted to the club's social media accounts, Gould walked through an empty Accor Stadium, delivering a speech like only he can.

"Bulldogs fans, it's the traditional Good Friday clash against the South Sydney Rabbitohs - two of the biggest clubs in the league, two of the biggest fanbases," he said.

"Haven't we had some battles against them over the years? We've played them in grand finals five decades apart - they got the better of us, but today will be a different day.

"We need you out here, because they've got a massive fanbase as well.

"Bulldogs. South Sydney. Good Friday. It should be a great day."

A crowd of close to 70,000 is expected to flock to the ground.
