Latrell on fire as Walker stars to keep Souths' top four hopes alive, clunky Eels blow it: 3 Big Hits.

“His ability to push into space. “Two runs and two linebreaks. “They flexed their muscles. Two runs and 60 metres for Latrell early.” Walker was the catalyst for the Rabbitohs’ fast start and his teammates followed to blow the Eels out of the contest. Greg Alexander believes Walker is ahead of most five-eighths in the history of the game because of his running game and ability to work hard off the ball and be a hole runner. “The start from Souths put so much scoreboard pressure on the Eels and they quite simply didn’t have the artillery to answer the call.” “A couple of touches and a couple of linebreaks. Souths dominated with five tries to nil, including a doubles to Cody Walker and Alex Johnston and a try to Izaac Thompson to blow the Eels away. Mitchell backed up his two linebreaks in the first half with a try assist for Johnston’s second of the night to all but lock up the result. The Rabbitohs have thrashed the Eels 26-0 on the back of doubles to Alex Johnston and Cody Walker with Latrell Mitchell on fire to keep their top four hopes alive. Walker pounced on a Dean Hawkins kick that bounced off Waqa Blake to grab a double of his own and seal a memorable win for the Bunnies.
