LOSS 6-30
The South Sydney Rabbitohs were not able to achieve their goal of three wins on the trot after going down 30 points to 6 against the Wests Tigers at the Sydney Football Stadium tonight (Friday). The Tigers turned in an excellent performance against the Rabbitohs in front of 22,677 supporters to secure the two competition points from the 2011 Heritage Round. In an often fiery encounter, the Tigers ran in five tries unanswered tries to register their third win of the season. The Rabbitohs were the first to score in only the fourth minute of play when halfback Chris Sandow crossed adjacent to the uprights. A short ball from Sandow to captain Roy Asotasi hit the mark, with Asotasi bouncing out of a number of tackles before offloading back to Sandow to score. He converted his own try to give the Rabbitohs an early six-nil lead. A big hit by Asotasi in defence and a bombed try by Tigers winger Matt Utai gave the Rabbitohs confidence, and a booming 40/20 from Sandow in the 12th minute had the Rabbitohs on the attack. The points went begging, and only four minutes later Benji Marshall scored from a scrum to level the scores. In the 35th minute former Rabbitohs Wade McKinnon gave the home side the lead after hooker Robbie Farah broke the Rabbitohs’ defensive line. In the dying minutes the Sandow-Rhys Wesser combination nearly came up trumps, but at half time the Tigers went into the sheds with a 12-6 lead. It was a high tempo affair and not much separated the teams at the break. Two defensive lapses cost the Rabbitohs points but they were not out of the contest. However from the beginning of the second stanza the Rabbitohs were behind the eight-ball. An early error gave Mitch Brown an opportunity to score in the 46th minute of play, followed by two converted tries to second-rower Simon Dwyer and a penalty goal to Marshall. The Tigers were up by 24 points with ten minutes remaining and the game was out of reach for the Rabbitohs. The encounter threatened to blow up a number of times, once a cheap hit on John Sutton by Tigers interchange player Alan Schirnack. In the 75th minute Marshall was sin binned for a professional foul on Dave Taylor, but it was all too late for the Rabbitohs to make up any ground. Sandow and Taylor tried everything they could to breach the Tigers’ defensive line, but it seemed the Tigers were faster in everything they did throughout the game. The Rabbitohs rattled them in defensive a few times, with Greg Inglis pulling off two big hits throughout the match, but the Rabbitohs’ attack was not potent enough to mount consistent pressure on the Tigers. Unfortunately for the Rabbitohs, Club stalwart Luke Stuart appears to have ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament during the game.

U20 National Youth Toyota Cup - Round 5
v Wests-Tigers, 5:15pm
WIN 24-22
Late Changes, Haddick dropped off the bench. In the Toyota Cup match, the South Sydney Rabbitohs fought back from a 12-point deficit early in the second half to claim a 24 points to 22 victory over the Wests Tigers at the Sydney Football Stadium. Fullback James Roberts was once again the star of the show, scoring three tries and having a hand in the fourth, as well as making a try saving one-on-one tackle with 40 seconds left on the clock to give the Rabbitohs a two-point victory. Roberts’ three consecutive tries came in a blistering 21 minute period in the second half which saw the Rabbitohs snatch the lead for the first time in the game with only six minutes left on the clock.

LOSS 8-16
Late changes, George Burgess dropped out of the startig line up with Namoa starting. Kaifoto has come onto the bench replacing Dean Webster.

Kane Morgan, the North Sydney fullback, was left stranded. Mata'utia converts. 0-6 At the 30 minute mark, the game has developed in a drop ball a-thon. After the sixth dropped ball in as many minutes, a penalty for offside is given and the Bears are now peppering the Centurions line. Nathan Peats barges over from dummy-half and the Bears are on the board. Conversion by Vaivai unsuccessful. 4-6 And it is half time in heavy conditions. 60th minute Keith Lulia scores. Stigg perfectly places the grubber and Lulia beats Morgan. Conversion unsuccessful. 4-10 Bears hit back 4 minutes later with Curtis Johnson scoring for the Bears out wide. Vaivai can't convert and the score remains 8-10. Shaune Corrigan goes so close to scoring but the Centurions defence holds onto this two point lead with about 6 minutes to go. Centurians wrap up the match with 1 minute on the clock with a try to Simon Williams. Mata'Utia converts and the Central Coast 16 have defeated the North Sydney Bears 8.
