WIN 38-6

Rugby league revenge is a dish best served cold, but Cody Walker's red-hot Origin claims have left Brisbane with third degree burns in Wayne Bennett's first clash with the club that sacked him. Five months to the day that the seven-time premiership winning coach was punted via voicemail, Bennett's South Sydney trounced the powerhouse he helped build with a 38-6 demolition at ANZ Stadium on Thursday. It was Bennett who almost lured Walker to Red Hill twice in 2016, only for the 29-year-old to stay put at Redfern, Bennett eventually coming to him. Walker's two first half tries set in motion a night capped a night of heavy emotion for the Blues five-eighth contender. The six tries-to-one thumping came on the anniversary of his mother's sudden death from a heart attack, while the Rabbitohs also paid tribute to retiring champion Greg Inglis. Walker did both pointing to the sky after his first try and doing a goanna celebration with his second, which was Inlgis' signature move after scoring a try. The Broncos and coach Anthony Seibold return north with their sixth loss in two months. It was Walker who set it up with his two tries in three minutes. The first from a fortuitous grubber by Alex Johnston, Boyd perplexed by the bouncing ball and Walker pouncing for the opening try. A Corey Oates mistake in the play-the-ball gave Souths that first sniff, while Jamayne Isaako's follow-up punt over the dead ball line kept the red carpet rolled out. Walker duly waltzed right down it, piling more pressure on sky blue incumbents James Maloney and Nathan Cleary a month out from Origin I. Kicking on the last with Souths' fifth-play option scrambled, Walker again got the bounce, his ninth try of the season. When Brisbane had their crack, the Steeden just wasn't breaking their way. A left-side shift that was half a step off-kilter saw Oates shoved into touch with the try line calling. When they came again Anthony Milford created an overlap and looked to exploit it. He only found Adam Reynolds, who finished his 70-metre intercept with another goanna and the conversion too for 18-0. A minute from halftime Walker piloted Kyle Turner over to maintain the rage. Oates came infield afterwards to hit a Milford short ball for Brisbane's first points, a rare highlight among five mistakes from the hulking winger. Rookie Broncos half Tom Dearden gave plenty, and copped just as much too from Souths' big men, while his side wore an 8-3 penalty count that did them no favours among self-inflicted woes. With the contest meandering down, Sam Burgess bagged a try to go with his 156 metres across 70 minutes. John Sutton did the same from close range, his first try in his 16th season, and did a third goanna for the night - the end result equalling the Rabbitohs biggest win over Brisbane.

Reserve Grade - Canterbury NSW Premiership Round 8

v Newtown, Henson Park, Sat May 4 5:45pm

LOSS 24-26

Late Changes - Gordon is out Rodwell starts on the bench. The South Sydney Rabbitohs Canterbury Cup side have been defeated by the Newtown Jets 26-24 in their Round 8 fixture at Henson Park. With a last-minute 28-26 victory in the previous encounter, the boys in the Cardinal and Myrtle knew it would be a tough ask to beat the Jets away from home. Souths kicked off and forced a knock on from the Jets in the first set of the game. Dean Hawkins forced a repeat set with a neat little grubber into the in-goal, however, the Jets absorbed the ensuing pressure well, with the Rabbitohs knocking on late in the set. The Jets would give away more possession in the 8th minute, with fullback Will Kennedy spilling the ball on a kick return 20m out from his own line. The Rabbitohs would capitalize on this mistake, though, scoring off the scrum through left winger Mawene Hiroti, who would convert his own try for a 6-0 lead. The Jets would not be down for long, hitting back in the 16th minute through veteran hooker James Segeyaro. It was a great piece of play by the crafty dummy half, who threw a huge dummy to split the Rabbitohs’ defence down the middle on their own line. He scored untouched under the posts to level the scores at 6-all. Newtown then took the lead with a breath-taking try to Matt Evans in the 20th minute. A raid on halfway saw Luke Polselli find space on the left wing. As he came to the fullback he put a grubber in which sat up perfectly for Evans to dive on in the in-goal, making the scores 12-6 to Newtown. The lead would not last though, with Souths scoring through Leigh Higgins, who strolled through a huge gap after a successful block-play on the left. The try was converted for 12-all. The Rabbitohs would manage to take a slim 14-12 lead into halftime when Hiroti slotted a penalty goal in the dying seconds of the half after Ronaldo Mulitalo – fresh off his first-grade debut last week – hit Souths’ five-eighth Connor Tracey high. The Jets started the second half in impressive fashion with a penalty goal two quick tries to Mulitalo. The first came after Higgins spilled a bomb, with Ronaldo diving on the ball in the in-goal, while the other saw him dive over in the corner Suliasi Vunivalu-style. Both tries were converted for a 26-14 lead. However, poor discipline by the Jets would see Souths gifted opportunities to get back into the game. They scored two quick tries of their own through Dean Hawkins in the 58th minute and Hiroti for his second of the day in the 63rd minute. Hiroti was able to convert the Hawkins try, but not his own in the left corner, to have his side trail by 26-24 going into the final 15 minutes of the game. A tense final 15 minutes saw both sides presented with several scoring opportunities, which made for very compelling and entertaining viewing. However neither side was able to capitalize and the scores remained the same, this time with Newtown getting the chocolates in yet another Rabbitohs-Jets thriller.

U20 NSW Jersey Flegg Cup - Round 7

v North Sydney, Stadium Australia, Thu May 2 5:45pm

WIN 26-12

Late Changes - team was 1-17. The South Sydney Rabbitohs Jersey Flegg side have defeated the North Sydney Bears 26-12 in an error-riddled clash at ANZ Stadium. In a forward-oriented battle, the likes of Matt French, Ky Rodwell and Brock Gardner led the way for the Red and Green, while Proceedings began in the worst possible fashion as the Rabbitohs fumbled from the kick-off, however strong defence from the outside backs forced the Bears into touch on the next set. And although they handed possession back to their opponents through penalties and errors, the Red and Green defence continued to repel the Bears' charges, again forcing them into touch before getting to the try line. Soon after, it was Nic Mougios and Kane Allan breaking the line on the right-hand side, and prop Ky Rodwell crashed over to score the first try of the match. Another attacking raid came undone with a lost ball, and a late shoulder charge penalty gave the Bears ammunition to retaliate, and they did so through a left-hand shift giving fullback Corey Fenning an opportunity to cross. Another mistake from the kick-off - this time a kick out on the full - was forgiven as Allan recovered the kick for touch. Strong defence from Rodwell and hooker Josh Cook then forced an error 30 metres from the try-line, but soon after the Red and Green lost an opportunity by turning the ball over. Young half Lachlan Ilias, in his first match for the Jersey Flegg side, was a menace with the boot, continually peppering North Sydney with pinpoint kicking, particularly spiral bombs. And it was an error that handed the side its next try, with a Bears dropped ball close to the try line seeing winger Jack Frasca score in the corner. A brilliant conversion from the sideline saw the side double the scores with just over five to go in the half. Although their opponents came out firing in the first set of the second half, the defence of the Rabbitohs continued to hold them out through the middle of the park. But an error on the first tackle from the scrum just ten metres from the line gave the Bears another chance, and luckily for the Red and Green, halfback Potusa Fuilala's attempt to get to the line was in vain as he was penalised for a double-movement. But it was the Bears who struck first, with Fenning again getting over the line through a left-hand backline shift. The scores were then levelled as the conversion was successful. Forcing an error from the kick-off, the Rabbitohs continued to throw the ball around recklessly, with an awry pass being picked up and taken 60 metres downfield, again handing the Bears opportunities to score. But it wasn't long until the Red and Green crossed over in the corner, thanks to fullback James Tautaiolefua crashing over in the right-hand corner. And soon after the Rabbitohs were on the attack once again as a Bears error gave the home side possession, only for an obstruction call to deny the side from furthering their lead. The determined South Sydney defence continued to pressure North Sydney into making errors, and a break from second rower Matt French saw the side earn a penalty just metres from the tryline. Bench forward Lachlan Gale then made a point of injecting himself into the contest, barging over from close range to score, and with Taaffe's conversion, the side led by ten with less than ten on the clock. Despite the Bears looking to score in the dying stages, it was the men in Cardinal and Myrtle who took the points after a hard-fought match with winger Kane Allan scoring in the final seconds of the match, adding in a fitting Goanna celebration in tribute to retired Rabbitohs Legend, Greg Inglis.

Womens NSWRL Premiership - Round 5

v Penrith Brothers, Mascot Oval, Sun May 5 1:30pm

WIN 42-4

Late Changes - Clay, Waters, Baird, Stojanovska and Lamb are out. O'Mealey starts at five eighth. The South Sydney Rabbitohs Harvey Norman Women’s Premiership have produced a dominant 42-4 win against Penrith Brothers in torrential conditions at Mascot Oval. It was a forward-oriented performance from the Red and Green, with the likes of Monicqa Mo’ale, Rhianna Sutherland and Kyara Nean dominating the middle of the field, and returning five-eighth Lavina O’Mealey steering the side in her first match since coming out of retirement. A huge hit from second rower Litisha Boney began a strong defensive effort to begin the proceedings, lifting the side to prevent their opponents from getting past the halfway mark on the first set of the game. Strong charges from front rower Monicqa Mo’ale soon followed, and on the ensuing set, Boney took advantage to score the first try of the match. A towering kick from the returning O’Mealey then forced a drop-out, with the five-eighth combining with Eloise Vunakece to put Tayla Pilley over to score just minutes later. A nightmare kick-off from Penrith saw the Red and Green drop-out, but strong defence prevented their opponents from going over. The forwards continued to dominate the match, with Kyara Nean forcing a mistake from Penrith with a brutal hit just as they looked to take advantage of their possession. More errors from Penrith gave more opportunities for the Rabbitohs, and soon it was Nean who crossed under the posts untouched after a frantic set. Another mistake from the kick-off gave Brothers a chance to strike back, but once again the defensive pressure from the Red and Green prevented any points from being conceded. O’Mealey continued to lead the side, orchestrating the attack and laying on pinpoint kicks to pin the defence in their own territory. Another bone-rattling hit - this time courtesy of Kandy Kennedy - gave the Rabbitohs the perfect chance to lay on their fourth try of the match, thanks to Rhianna Sutherland - completing a dominant first half from the Cardinal and Myrtle. A number of errors cruelled the side in the opening minutes of the second stanza, with a number of mistakes from kicks giving Penrith a weight of possession, which then saw them cross for the first try of the match to winger Regina Lui Toso. But the Rabbitohs wouldn’t be down for much longer, with Sutherland crossing for her second try through a signature charge. It wasn’t long before the Rabbitohs crossed again, with Penrith’s kick-off not going the required ten metres, with O’Mealey sending Vunakece over for her own four-pointer. The points continued for the Red and Green after a short arm-wrestle, with a break from Karri Doyle setting up Bryanna Murray to score the side’s seventh try, and Vunakece crashing over for her double soon after to round off a great victory.
