The Roosters and Rabbitohs remarkably haven't played each other in a finals game since the 1935 Grand Final - however this Friday night's preliminary final promises to make that 79-year drought well worth the wait.

Where do you even begin to describe the immense rivalry that these two Eastern Sydney teams have established over the last 106 years of rugby league history?

No teams in Australian rugby league history have met more times since their first meeting way back in 1908, when the Roosters overcame the Bunnies 13-12 - how ironic that even back then games were being decided by the single point that has so far encapsulated the 2014 NRL finals series.

Even though the Rabbitohs hold a current 108-96 head-to-head advantage over the years, it is Roosters fans that have enjoyed the last laugh in recent times - including a memorable Grand Final triumph last year.

Souths meanwhile haven't tasted premiership success for 43 years and even though players and officials are declaring that the 2014 version of the Rabbitohs is a far different one from previous years, you can never truly escape the significant pressure the team will feel in the dramatic build-up to Friday night's kick-off.

But are Souths are different team, that's the question? The Rabbitohs were pipped at the post in the preliminary finals the last two successive years against the Sea Eagles and Bulldogs - and those two teams went onto to lose in the Grand Final the following week.

However this year's competition has been the closest in recent memory, and all it takes is a club to peak at the right time in order to triumph. Souths finished the season reasonably strongly - despite a final round hiccup against the Roosters - and then dominated Manly to lead 40-0 after 55 minutes of their opening finals hit-out.

After earning the week-off following that victory, it is kind of difficult to predict where the Rabbitohs are currently at with their form at present. If you subscribe to the theory that winning breeds confidence then the Bunnies could be in trouble - they would have only won two matches in 32 days by the time they run out onto ANZ Stadium - with those two triumphs coming against a below-par Manly side and a Bulldogs side who was in control until the 70th minute when Trent Hodkinson kicked the ball out on the full to give them field position. Throw in a loss to the Roosters during that 32-day period and things don't actually look too flash for the Bunnies.

The Bondi boys meanwhile will head into his contest on the back of winning momentum having survived a fast-finishing Cowboys side last week.

However - much like the Rabbitohs - the Roosters will be worried about how easily they let their opponents back into the game after a dominating early period.

While the Sea Eagles pegged back 24 points against Souths, the Cowboys rallied to draw level with the Roosters by notching up 30 unanswered points in the stages leading up to and after halftime.

Only a lucky bounce off the forearm of Robert Lui saw them escape with victory and a date with the Rabbitohs on Friday night.

However the Roosters are winners. They proved that last year and they have proved it again this campaign by finishing the season as minor premiers despite playing well below their best for the majority of the season.

They have a perfect combination of brutal forwards, skilful outside backs, savvy veterans and youthful exuberance. Couple that with their winning mentality under Trent Robinson and the huge pressure that is on the Rabbitohs this week, and I think the Tri-colours deserve to go into this clash as favourites.
