WIN 36-20
The South Sydney Rabbitohs have claimed a 32-20 victory over the Gold Coast Titans tonight (Friday) in their Round 15 clash at ANZ Stadium. Injuries rattled this week’s line-up with a late exclusion of Sam Burgess who sustained a strained glute injury while Braidon Burns stepped in for Aaron Gray who was out with a facial injury. The Titans also had a shake up to their starting line-up with three players out for the State of Origin Game II and a long list of injuries. The game celebrated John Sutton’s 300th appearance for the South Sydney Rabbitohs across all grades and marked his 272nd NRL game. The night was made even sweeter for Sutton when he ran out as Captain for the match. The Titans produced the first completed set for the night off the kick-off but after the Rabbitohs gained possession, a knock on by Bryson Goodwin saw the Titans on the attack again. They capatalised on the opportunity and the Titans claimed the first points for the night when their debutant hooker Pat Politoni scored holding on to a well-placed offload from Nathaniel Peteru. Ash Taylor slotted the extras and the Rabbitohs fell behind by six points. The Titans extended their lead by another two points off a penalty kick and the Rabbitohs were on the back foot early on. The Rabbitohs were the next to get up to the try line but forward Tom Burgess lost it in the last seconds resulting in a no try call from upstairs. The Titans got the home crowd worried when Kevin Proctor picked up the rebound from a Politoni attacking grubber in the 17th minute and scored the second try for the evening. Taylor’s successful conversion added to the Titans 14 points to zero lead. The away side got the sweat rolling off Souths supporter’s foreheads when the Titans went over again but the video referee saved the four points calling a no try. With minutes ticking away in the first half, the Rabbitohs team gave the stadium something to cheer about with Angus Crichton stepping past three defenders and flying over the line to score. Adam Reynolds slotted the ball straight through the uprights and the Rabbitohs were on the board six points to 14. You could see the fire of determination light up in the Red and Green side and the Rabbitohs amped up their power and speed. The change showed on the scoreboard and a long powerful pass from Cody Walker out to Alex Johnston saw him sprint to the left side of the field and over the line. Reynolds conversion swayed to the right but the Rabbitohs narrowed in on the Titans 14 point to 10 lead. But the Titans had one more try in them for the first half with Joe Greenwood securing the points for the Gold Coast side. A successful Taylor conversion held the Titans in a 20 points to 10 lead as the half time siren sounded. The second half saw the Rabbitohs come out and add the first points for the next 40 minutes when a slick pass from Sutton to Walker resulted in a try. Reynolds added the two point conversion and the Rabbitohs secured 16 points to the Titans 20. With 30 minutes remaining on the clock, the Titans turned the ball over after trying to run it on their last run and the Rabbitohs made the most of the opportunity. Robbie Farah made a break on the left side of the field and offloaded to Johnston who sprinted into the middle and up the field to bring his side 20 metres out from the try line. Crichton made a powerful run and scored himself a double to level the scoreboard. Reynolds kick at goal slotted through the posts and the Rabbitohs gave themselves the lead for the first time in the game 22 points to 20. The South Sydney side wouldn’t stop there and extended their lead by another converted try when Goodwin weaved through the Titans defence to stumble over the line and place the ball down for the Rabbitohs 26th point. Reynolds had a shot from out in front nailing the kick and bringing the Rabbitohs into a 28 to 20 point lead. Once again Johnston showed his skills out on the wing, leaping for the score line and slamming the ball down for the Rabbitohs second double. An unlucky Reynolds kick hit the post but the Rabbitohs had a strong lead 32 points to 20. The Rabbitohs held the Titans off for the remainder of the match and the Rabbitohs claimed their first victory in front of their home crowd this season. Angus Crichton capped off a remarkable individiual performance by scoring in the dying minutes, running through several Gold Coast defenders and crashing over to seal his hat-trick. Adam Reynolds couldn't convert but the Rabbitohs were comfortable ahead to claim the win.
John Sutton played his 300th South Sydney senior premiership game, and had the honor of leading the team when regular captain Sam Burgess was ruled out.

The young Rabbitohs have won their fifth consecutive match, beating the Gold Coast Titans 26-18 at ANZ Stadium tonight (Friday). The Titans made it clear they were here to play with a crunching tackling on Lebanese Representative halfback Adam Doueihi in the 3rd minute. The Rabbitohs found themselves under plenty of Titans pressure in the following sets – Beau Cordtz caught in goal after an impressive scramble kept their opposition scoreless. However, the young Rabbitohs rallied and found themselves with good field position in the 8th minute to force the Titans into consecutive goal line dropouts. Despite this, the Rabbitohs would concede first points to the Gold Coast Titans after a quick shift to the right of field gave Jake Sparey plenty of space to easily finish in the corner. Ethan Roberts would convert and the Titans would be up 6-0 after 13 minutes. The Titans would gift the Rabbitohs an opportunity to get straight back into the game after knocking on from the kick off but Souths couldn’t convert. It took until the 20th minute for the Rabbitohs to get back into the contest after Adam Doueihi went through the middle of the Titans to score under the posts and convert his own effort. Flying Rabbitohs winger Jake Reweti would snatch the lead for the young Rabbitohs in the 33rd minute, creating an overlap and carrying the ball 17 metres to score in the left corner. The conversion attempt would prove too difficult for Doueihi and the Rabbitohs would lead 10-6. Blake Manowski would further the Rabbitohs advantage just before the half time siren, darting from dummy half to catch the Titans defenders out of position. Doueihi converted this kick and the Rabbitohs headed into the sheds with a 16-6 lead over the visitors. The young Rabbitohs started strongly in the second half but despite dominating the opening 10 minutes could not capitalise on their field position. This would prove costly for Souths as the Titans got a foothold in the game, giving Jake Sparey room on the right edge to claim his second try of the night. Ethan Roberts converted for the extras and the Titans would sit four points adrift at 16-12 after 52 minutes. Emotions would boil over in the 55th minute and a scuffle erupted in the middle of the field that stopped play for several minutes. With the penalty going the way of the Titans, the Gold Coast youth squad would capitalise on their opportunity to bag another try by Ethan Roberts. He converted his own effort and the Titans snatched the lead 18-16 after 62 minutes. The Rabbitohs would be motivated by this change in lead and throw everything at the Gold Coast Titans; finally finding the breakthrough as fullback Beau Cordtz swept into the attack on the left side of field to punch through the Titans line and score. Gabe Hamlin would put the result beyond doubt in the 74th minute, the Rabbitohs again targeting the left edge to get over the line. Doueihi couldn’t convert and the Rabbitohs would lead 24-18. A late penalty goal to Adam Doueihi in the 78th minute would be the cherry on top of a solid performance.
