Rabbitohs vs Storm

Latrell magic powers sizzling Souths; Storm Achilles heel masks Munster class: 3 Big Hits.

“Some of the younger or less experienced players are down on confidence. “The left-handed flick was beautiful. Alex Johnston scored another double against the Storm to take his record at Accor Stadium to a remarkable 79 tries in 79 games at the venue. The seventh placed Rabbitohs need to win to cement their top eight spot, while the Storm desperately need to prevent a fourth straight loss to keep in touch with the top four. “He has scored nine tries in his last four games and the reason why Isaiah Tass is shining the shoes of Johnston is because every time he gets the ball down that left flank, he uses his speed and acceleration and just his finishing ability to put the ball down. “Only Latrell after he grubbered the ball into the legs of Marion Seve, he picked the ball up and made sure Johnston was on side and in position for the flick pass,” Alexander said. Mitchell had his grubber charged down, before he scooped up the ball and produced a brilliant flick pass to put the ball on a platter for Johnston. It was billed as the battle between superstars Latrell Mitchell and Cameron Munster and while the Storm five-eighth was excellent, the Souths fullback proved the difference in the end. Jaxson Paulo finished off try in the corner to get in on the party after another cutout pass from Mitchell created the space. Marion Seve scored a long-range try just before the break after some poor defence from Cody Walker to get the Storm back in the contest. The Rabbitohs have handed the Storm their fourth loss on the trot in a 24-12 victory inspired by a masterclass from Latrell Mitchell and another Alex Johnston double. The Rabbitohs scored five tries to two with Mitchell the difference between the two sides, despite a gutsy display from Cameron Munster.
