Rabbitohs vs Eels

Classy Latrell shines in Bunnies return as big guns fall flat for 'disappointing' Eels: 3 Big Hits.

But Alex Johnston with speed has the ability to do both when he’s finishing and taking intercepts.” Territorially Souths have killed the Eels.” it was a poor pass from Mitchell Moses but you make your own luck in rugby league,” Marshall said. He’s able to set up his outside men. “That’s what he can do. “The wingers really haven’t done the job that the South Sydney men have done, but you’re right it’s been Moses, Brown and their edges that haven’t seen the quality ball that they should of,” he said in response to Flanagan. Johnston finished the game with 250 running metres, two tackle busts and two linebreaks to go with his two tries. Johnston told Fox League at half time that he was “lucky enough to be in the right position,” but Benji Marshall and Cooper Cronk gave him the credit he deserved. Cooper Cronk said at half time that Mitchell was “warming to the contest” and acknowledged how he got a linebreak assist with each of his two runs in the first half. Mitchell really started to find his feet in the second half and finished the game with 119 running metres, a try assist, four linebreak assists, two tackle busts and two offloads. Mitchell took a little bit of time to find his feet with Cooper Cronk saying at half time that he was “warming to the contest,” but the superstar fullback came alive as the game went on. “I don’t know whether it’s a coincidence the fact that Latrell is back in this side but the execution from Souths and their work on the edges has improved out of sight,” he said.

The Parramatta Eels team to take on the South Sydney Rabbitohs in Round 16 is set. With one hour until kick off, just the one change remains with Ryan Matterson ...

South Sydney have extended their winning streak over Parramatta to five with a resounding 30-12 victory in muddy conditions at Accor Stadium on Saturday ...

Both teams will be in action next week during the bye-affected round. They like to play quite expansive with a lot of offloads in their game so the conditions were probably going to limit that and allowed us to tighten up and have that defensive mindset which I thought we did really well." We're not seeing any shortcuts at training but we've got to work together and try to win the game together." "As a team we were disappointed with the opening 30 minutes against the Dragons. I think we saw a fair difference tonight. In the wet, greasy conditions there was absolutely no respect shown by South Sydney when Jai Arrow crossed the line and for good reason. We need 17 players owning their job and we're just not getting that.

Brendan Wood reviews the South Sydney Rabbitohs convincing win over the Parramatta Eels on Saturday night.

After several sets of building pressure, Jaxson Paulo was on the end of a quick pass from Campbell Graham as he crossed in the corner with an acrobatic try. With the rain easing off over the break, the Eels started poorly when Clint Gutherson kicked the ball dead in one of their first attacking opportunities. However, on the stroke of halftime, Alex Johnston intercepted a pass from Mitch Moses and he sprinted away to complete a first half double. After a fifth tackle option broke down, Jaxson Paulo stabbed a kick back across field for Isaiah Tass, who showed plenty of skill to grab the ball and offload to Jai Arrow in one motion. Following a close call where Jaxson Paulo was denied a try, the Eels finally found their feet. After a day of heavy rainfall at Accor Stadium, it was the Rabbitohs who opened the scoring early.

Cook, Cameron Murray and Jai Arrow have all been named to back up from Origin. Mark Nicholls will start at prop with Tom Burgess moving to the bench. Damien Cook has struggled behind an at times pedestrian pack this season, whilst Cody Walker is yet to find his best.

South Sydney fullback Latrell Mitchell has eased back into the NRL after an absence of almost three months to help restore confidence to the Rabbitohs in a ...

When the game was in the balance, Alex Johnston put his hand up for yardage carriages more often than Mitchel, while the halves took on the vast majority of playmaking duties. Souths are the most error-prone team in the league but somehow managed to hold the ball better in the wet than they do when it's dry. Playing his first game since injuring a hamstring in round five, Mitchell focused more on getting through the 80 minutes unscathed than putting on a rugby league masterclass.
