Tips: Fittler reveals Souths star Dogs must terrorise

Brad Fittler has given the Bulldogs a game plan to compound the Rabbitohs’ misery, claiming they need to make one superstar a target to win their second game in a row.

Speaking on Wide World of Sports’ Freddy and The Eighth’s Tips, Fittler and Andrew Johns marvelled at the work rate of inspirational Souths captain Cameron Murray but cautioned that the representative star was becoming a one man show, making the team vulnerable when he tired.

Murray limped off training on Monday but is expected to suit up for the Rabbitohs in what has become an annual blockbuster Good Friday afternoon match.

“I can imagine why he’s injured, I can understand it,” Fittler said.

Johns replied: “Well last week against the Roosters I looked at the stats, I think it was after about 50 minutes, 10 minutes after half-time, Cam Murray had made 42 tackles, the closest to him was Victor (Radley) who had made 20.”

Murray went on to top the tackle count with 55 – a whopping 22 clear of Nat Butcher, who made the most tackles on the night for the Rabbitohs.

“Now if I am the opposition, I am just running at him,” Fittler said.
