It was a record crowd of 65,305 for a non-finals fixture in the annual Good Friday match that greeted the teams as they entered the field. The South Sydney Rabbitohs have suffered a disappointing defeat at the hands of the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs. It was an uphill battle for South Sydney, who found themselves on the wrong end of the possession count 61%-39%. This proved to be too much for the Rabbitohs to overcome, going down 32-0 in what was ultimately a frustrating afternoon for the Red and Green. Canterbury-Bankstown opened the scoring when Josh Curran burrowed over from close range after a loose pass from South Sydney gave the Bulldogs a full set in the attacking zone. The Rabbitohs were reduced to 12 men in the 18th minute, with Euan Aitken sent to the sin bin after he impeded Matt Burton off the ball. Stephen Crichton slotted the ensuing penalty, giving the Bulldogs an 8-0 lead. South Sydney then suffered another setback, with Lachlan Hubner leaving the field after a head knock in the following set of six, to be replaced by Tallis Duncan. The Bulldogs were able to make the most of their one-man advantage, with Max King breaking his 80-game try-scoring drought in the 26th minute off a crash play close to the line. Aitken returned to the field in the 28th minute to put South Sydney back to their full complement. However, it wasn’t enough to stem the tide of the Bulldogs’ onslaught, with Sitili Tupouniua crossing after 33 minutes to put the score at 20-0 at the halftime break.

The Bulldogs began the second half where they left off in the first, with Jacob Preston muscling his way over in the 42nd minute. Canterbury-Bankstown was afforded numerous opportunities throughout the second half thanks to a high error count from the Rabbitohs. However, they were unable to capitalise again until the 69th minute when Bronson Xerri scored to take his side past the 30-point mark. This would prove to be the final scoring play of the game, leaving South Sydney to lick their wounds after the heavy defeat.

Reserve Grade - NSW Cup Premiership Round 7

v Canterbury-Bankstown, 1:45pm [BAR TV]

LOSS 18-62

Late Changes - Quinn starts at five-eighth, Le Blanc at lock. Schuster and French on the bench. Pitovao is the concussion sub. Miller, B.Williams and Plath drop off the bench, After a tight win against the Knights and the bye last week, the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have secured back-to-back wins for the first time this season in Round Seven of the Knock On Effect NSW Cup with a dominant 62-18 win over South Sydney Rabbitohs at Accor Stadium in the traditional Good Friday clash. The Bulldogs struck first as some tidy passing down the right edge found Blake Taaffe who linked up with a wide open Blake Wilson who scored with ease to put the home team ahead 4-0. The kick was waved away. The home side made it back-to-back tries through former Rabbitoh Blake Taaffe. Veteran half Drew Hutchison made a break through the line and passed outside to Taaffe who dove over to score. The fullback converted his own try to put Canterbury-Bankstown ahead 10-0. It was one way traffic at Accor Stadium as Bulldogs scored their third try of the day before half-time. Some more clinical passing down the left edge proved lethal as Taaffe found himself with the ball again and tapped it along to Wilson who crashed over for his second try of the day. The try was converted to put the home team ahead 16-0. Bulldogs scored again just minutes after when they broke through the line with speed and outside back Jonathan Sua strolled over for a comfortable four pointer. The kick was slotted with ease for a 22-0 lead. Rabbitohs bounced back with nine minutes before the break in an attempt to claw their way back into the game. Hooker Daniel O’Donnell cut through the line and zipped past several defenders and scored underneath the posts. The try was converted to shorten the scoreline to 22-6. The away side scored again shortly after to tighten the score to 22-12. Ashton Ward cut through the line this time and passed inside to forward Thomas Fletcher to score a try as the travelling Rabbitohs wouldn’t go down without a fight. Bulldogs bounced back to extend their lead shortly before half-time through Blake Wilson to secure himself a first half hat-trick. The clinical right edge bore fruit once again as Sua found his winger wide open for a comfortable try. The kick was unsuccessful to send the two sides into the sheds at 26-12. The home side picked up where they left off through front rower Lipoi Hopoi who busted through a tackle and charged down to score himself a try. Taaffe slotted the conversion to extend the lead to 32-12. Canterbury-Bankstown looked to put this game to bed as they scored their seventh try of the game. Reuben Moyle kicked a classy grubber through the line and Luke Smith charged through and jumped on the ball to claim the try and push the lead out to 38-12. The Rabbitohs scored a try through Max Lehmann in an attempt to make a last ditch comeback. Some scrambling from the Rabbitohs saw the ball fall to Declan Casey who found his winger wide open for try. The kick was converted to bring the score to 38-18. The Bulldogs scored again to extend the lead to 44-18 through Blake Wilson again. The winger received the ball on the 30 metre line and used his speed to blitz past the defence and dive in the corner. Bulldogs scored yet again through winger Jethro Rinakama. The home team went down the left edge this time and the ball found the hands of Rinakama who used his pace to beat his man and score himself a try. The conversion was nailed from the sideline to notch up fifty points for the home team. The home side crashed over yet again. Half Joseph O’Neill attempted to take on the line and broke through with strength to crash over the line just next to the posts, lining up a simple conversion for Blake Taaffe. Canterbury-Bankstown finished off the match with one more four pointer. Jethro Rinakama found himself with the ball on the halfway line and sprinted for fifty metres to score himself another try after the siren. The conversion was nailed to make the final score 62-18. This was South Sydney's worst reserve grade defensive effort in 22 years.
