McIlwrick and Turner were trimmed 24h before the match. Britt and Brittain were 18th and 19th men.
WIN 24-6
A third career hat-trick from winger Robert Jennings and a stunning contribution from Blues hooker Damien Cook have shored up the Rabbitohs' spot at the top of the Telstra Premiership ladder despite a disciplined and determined showing from Canterbury. Jennings' third try moved him to 16 for the season and came off the back of enormous stints from NSW reps Cook and Angus Crichton just three days after a gruelling Holden State of Origin III. Cook racked up 46 tackles, four busts, 122 metres and a line break while Crichton chipped in 179 meters and three busts, a line break and 28 tackles. Both got an early shower about 10 minutes from full-time once coach Anthony Seibold was satisfied the result was beyond doubt. The 24-6 scoreline didn't do justice to what was one of Canterbury's most impressive efforts of 2018. Dogs skipper Josh Jackson was immense on the right edge in his 150th game while fullback Will Hopoate was outstanding, creating one try and racking up almost 300 metres with 10 busts. It is the ninth straight win for Souths – the first time they have managed that feat since 1989 – while the Bulldogs remain ahead of only Parramatta at the foot of the ladder. Souths threatened to shoot out of the blocks early but a clean break from Crichton in just the fourth minute did not pay dividends when the Blues back-rower's pass went astray. The blue and whites produced several impressive pieces of defence in the opening 20 minutes to keep the ladder-leaders scoreless. They opened the scoring via a Rhyse Martin penalty goal in the 19th minute but it was the red-hot Rabbitohs' left edge that created the first try with Cody Walker and Alex Johnston combining from a scrum play to send Jennings over for a four-pointer in the 27th minute. It became a quick double strike when Cook shredded the Dogs up the middle to put NSW teammate Crichton in space. Crichton's neat pass sent Cody Walker through a gap with Reynolds supporting to score. The impressive Bunnies defence produced try-savers from consecutive plays later in the half as Will Hopoate was held up then Reimis Smith was bundled into touch trying to score, allowing them to take their 12-2 advantage into half-time. They stretched their lead via a penalty goal and from the next set Jennings joined Warrior David Fusitu'a atop the try-scoring leaderboard with his 15th four-pointer of the season. It came via a lovely Reynolds short-side grubber after spotting some space behind the line. The Bulldogs quickly clawed one try back as Hopoate created their first try of the day with a lovely one-handed offload to put Smith over in the corner to make it 18-6 after 53 minutes. The 15th-placed Bulldogs simply refused to yield and had by far the better of the next 20 minutes as Nu Brown added spark off the bench and Jeremy Marshall-King, Martin, Josh Morris and Hopoate all found space with long runs at different stages. There was a no-try ruling against Aiden Tolman from the Bunker and Reimis Smith was bundled into touch, as the Rabbitohs showed the sort of defensive steel befitting the ladder-leaders. After soaking up a long period of pressure it was the Bunnies who stretched their lead. Jennings completed his third career hat-trick and went to the outright lead in the 2018 try-scoring stakes when he finished off yet another nice left-side shift in the 72nd minute.

Reserve Grade - Intrust Super NSW Premiership - Round 18
v Newtown, North Sydney Oval, Sun Jul 8 3:00pm
DRAW 28-28
Late Changes - Britt and Sabutey are out. Ilett starts prop, turner second row, Koloamatangi lock and Rodwell and Johnstone on the bench. The North Sydney Bears have clawed back from the jaws of defeat with three tries within nine minutes in the second-half helping them to a scintillating 28-all draw with the Newtown Jets on Saturday afternoon. The draw follows on from a previous 22-all draw earlier in the season, meaning the Frank Hyde Shield will be shared among the foundation clubs for the second year running as they each celebrate their 110th year. The Bears took an early 4-0 lead through Kyle Turner after 15 minutes, but the Jets responded in emphatic style with three unanswered tries within a relentless eight minute period of their own. Sosaia Feki was the first beneficiary of a William Kennedy cut-out pass in the 20th minute, before Jack Williams and Briton Nikora broke the game open with classy tries of their own just shortly after. The Bears got off to the perfect start in the second-half with a try to captain Billy Brittain from close-range, but a powerful surge from Aaron Gray just moments later gave the Jets a quick reprieve. The floodgates opened when Evans finished off a Braden Uele bust through the middle, but a miraculous try to Curtis Johnstone and another to Viliami Kaveinga got the Bears firmly back into the contest. A Jesse Arthurs try capped off an incredible comeback from the Bears, with Dean Hawkins nailing the sideline conversion to draw the game level at 28-all. Chances for Newtown to draw first blood were few and far between throughout the opening exchanges, but their committed goal-line defence were enough to keep the Bears at bay. With pressure mounting, the Bears eventually got their reward through Kyle Turner after he pounced on a Connor Tracey cross-field kick for the maiden try of the afternoon. The Jets hit-back shortly after conceding their first when Feki finished off a classy backline movement in the left-hand corner, with Kyle Flanagan nailing the sideline conversion to take a 6-4 lead after 20 minutes. They extended their lead on the ensuing set when Jack Williams sliced through some flimsy defence with a classy dummy sending him over adjacent to the uprights. Brimming with confidence, the Jets fired with their third try in quick succession after Nikora stormed onto a Flanagan short-ball to crash over for his fifth try of the season. After taking a comfortable 16-4 lead into half-time, the Jets were on the back foot early in the second stanza after Brittain scored with a quick dart out of dummy-half to give his side an array of confidence. A clumsy error of the following set of six gifted the Jets a golden opportunity to strike back, with Gray showing his class with a spirited carry down the right-hand side extending his sides lead. Uele proved unstoppable with the ball-in-hand with some strong carries through the middle-third, and another barnstorming run saw the front-rower break through the line before drawing the fullback for Evans to score the Jets fifth try of the afternoon. An amazing last ditch effort from Rhys Kennedy when the ball looked to have gone over the dead-ball line saw Johnstone score a crucial four-pointer with just 15 minutes remaining, with Tracey bursting through the Jets defence just moments later to send Kaveinga over to score. It saw a frantic final 10 minutes being played despite the Bears hopes looking to be all but over early in the second-half, with Kennedy was just centimetres away from scoring with the Jets desperate defence holding him out. The Bears eventually found the line with a try to Arthars in the right-hand corner on the back of some slick hands from Braidon Burns, but although Hawkins was able to calmly slot the conversion from out-wide, the young halfback was unable to ice a late field-goal as an enthralling game of rugby league finished with a draw.

NSWRL Women's Premiership - Round 14

WIN 40-4
Late Changes - Kershaw, Vanuakece, Grimes and Ianeta Baker are out. Nean starts prop, Johnson in the centres and Bryanna Murray on the bench. The South Sydney Rabbitohs women's team are the Harvey Norman NSW Women's Minor Premiers after winning their final regular season game 40-4 against the North Sydney Bears at North Sydney Oval. The Rabbitohs wrapped up first spot on the ladder thanks to hat tricks to try scoring phenomenon Taleena Simon and young gun Bryanna Murray. Despite the emphatic scoreline, it was a slow start from the Red and Green who were heavily matched by a fired up Bears. It was the women in Red and Black that would score first through five-eighth Shanice Parker who burrowed over from close range to punish the South Sydney defence. The conversion was sent wide but Bears had a 4-0 lead after just five minutes. It took a little time for the Souths to click into gear but when it did there was no stopping the eventual winners. Taleena Simon got her tally off to a start in the 15th minute, with a trademark run from 30 metres out to score in the corner. Halfback Maddie Studdon was unable to add the extras but the Rabbitohs were level at 4-4. Kyara Nean was the next South Sydney try scorer. Having one of her best games of the season whilst playing in an unfamiliar forward role, Nean was too strong close to the line and barged her way over to score next to the uprights, which allowed Studdon to easily add the extras and to take the Rabbitohs out to a 10-4 lead. The Rabbitohs would then score tries back-to-back in quick succession just before half-time. Centre Emma Gillogly scored a brilliant individual try as she sliced through the defence with ease after a Rabbitohs scrum to score. Then it was Murray's turn to score after she showed great tenacity to keep up with a flying Simon, to receive an offload and then slam the ball down for her first try in Rabbitohs colours. Studdon nailed both the conversions to send the Rabbitohs to the sheds with a 22-4 lead. The second half started like the first with the Bears coming out looking to spoil the Rabbitohs party. However, after ten minutes of back and forth between the two teams, the Rabbitohs pounced again through Murray, who had the simple task of catching and putting the ball down for her second try. The talented Murray would then grab her hat trick in the 49th minute with another try in the corner to send the Rabbitohs faithful into raptures. Studdon was unable to add the extras on both occasions but the Rabbitohs now had an unassailable 30-4 advantage. Providing every last pass to her teammate, winger Simon wasn't going to be outdone by the evergreen Murray, scoring two quick late tries to send her season tally to 22 for the season. Despite the valiant effort from the Bears, the Rabbitohs were simply too good in the end, as they wrapped up the minor premiership and put themselves within one game of the Grand Final.
