LOSS 16-24

The South Sydney Rabbitohs have been defeated by the Melbourne Storm on ANZAC Day after a disappointing second half in what was really anyone’s game at halftime. There was very little to separate the two sides in the opening half, with arm-wrestle football dominating proceedings early in the game. It was the second half however, which proved decisive, with a stint in the sin bin for Latrell Mitchell and tries to Eli Katoa and Tyran Wishart proving to be too much for the Rabbitohs to overcome. The Storm were first to trouble the scorers when Su’a Fa’alogo and Ryan Papenhuyzen combined to produce a try in the 12th minute. The Rabbitohs were prompt to hit back, receiving an attacking set off the ensuing kick-off after a handling error by Stefano Utoikamanu. A slick backline move from the Red and Green culminated in Keaon Koloamatangi producing a magical flick pass behind his back to put Jack Wighton over to open South Sydney’s account. The Rabbitohs took the lead for the first time in the game, with second-gamer Bayleigh Bentley-Hape scoring the first try of his young NRL career. It was Jack Wighton who looked like scoring himself before Eli Katoa knocked the ball from his grip just meters shy of the line. With the Bunker having ruled that Katoa played at the ball, Bentley-Hape was free to pounce on the scraps to secure South Sydney’s second four-pointer of the night. Melbourne would draw back level with their second try of the game in the in the 38th minute through Xavier Coates, who finished off a backline move to cross in the left corner, leaving the scores 10-all at the break. The second half began in a frantic manner, with Melbourne immediately on the attack after Papenhuyzen sent the kick off out on the bounce. The Storm would come within inches of scoring through Fa’alogo, before a fantastic cover tackle from Jye Gray put Fa’alogo’s foot into touch just prior to grounding the ball. Melbourne would not be denied just minutes later however, with Eli Katoa leaping through the air to gather in a high kick and score to give his side their second lead of the game in the 43rd minute. South Sydney’s job became a lot more difficult when captain and fullback Latrell Mitchell found himself in the sin bin after a high shot on a falling Fa’alogo. Gray would shift to fullback and Wighton to five-eighth to cover Mitchell’s absence, while Papenhuyzen slotted the penalty goal to put the Storm ahead 18-10 after 50 minutes. The Storm continued their ascendency – despite the return of Mitchell to the field – with Tyran Wishart scoring in the 65th minute to extend his side’s lead to 14 points. South Sydney received a big boost when Papenhuyzen was sent to the sin bin after taking out Jye Gray off the ball in what was ruled to be a professional foul by the Bunker. A late try to Wighton – his second of the game – saw the Cardinal and Myrtle claw their way to within eight points with four minutes to go. This would prove to be the final scoring play of the game, with South Sydney unable to complete their comeback as the Storm held on for a 24-16 ANZAC Day victory.

Reserve Grade - NSW Cup Premiership Round 8

v Parramatta, Redfern Oval, Sat Apr 26 2:00pm [BAR TV]

LOSS 20-50

Late Changes - O'Kane, Dodd and Le Blanc are out. Gudgeon starts at fullback, Kaho in the centre, Ward at halfback, French at lock, Johannssen on the bench. Mellars is the concussion sub. B.Williams dropped off the bench. The Parramatta Eels have absolutely dominated the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Redfern, making it three victories in a row for the blue and golds, while the Rabbitohs are in anguish after their seventh straight loss. From the opening whistle it was clear that it wasn’t South Sydney’s day, as they were called offside from the kick-off. With Parramatta beginning play just 25 metres out, they were straight on the attack, and Ronald Volkman and Deans Hawkins combined to get the ball out to Joash Papalii, who sent Jordan Samrani over in the first set of the match. Toni Mataele knocked it on in the hit-up off the kickoff, and thus it was the Rabbitohs’ turn to attack. Josh Schuster wasn’t afraid to chance his arm and put a risky grubber through early in the count, but it paid off, resulting in a dropout. As a result, he ended up icing a lovely face ball to Declan Casey, who sent Max Lehmann over with ease. For the third time in the match, the trend of errors in the set following the kick-off continued when Ashton Ward was crunched and lost possession in the act of playing the ball. The Eels were straight back on the attack as a result and took back a lead that they’d hold onto for the rest of the match. Volkman squared up the defence nicely and put his captain Dan Keir through a gap, who was too fast and powerful to be stopped at the line. Hawkins attempted a 40/20 that deflected off the South's defensive line. Bryce Cartwright was the first to react, scooping up the ball and finding his halfback on the inside, who did incredibly well to stroll down the field with a big focus on running speed, slowing down as defenders approached to keep them engaged and hitting Samrani on the outside for his second of the day. That was the straw that broke the camel's back, as Parramatta started rolling up the field with ease. Two short side raids in quick succession saw their lead grow in a flash as Volkman and Mohamad Alammadine crossed three minutes apart from each other. They put the icing on the first half cake when Ryan Matterson came up with an impossible offload that ended up with Bryce Cartwright, who pirouetted before fashioning a lovely cross kick to Samrani who chalked up a first half hat-trick, sending his side into the sheds up 32-6. As both teams came out for the second half, it felt as if South Sydney were no chance. After receiving a penalty in the first set of the half however, they found themselves on the board first thanks to some genuine x-factor shown by Schuster, who put in a chip-style crosskick for Leonard Skelton, who caught the ball at full speed and raced into the corner to score. Jordan Plath came onto the field soon after, and was providing his teammates with some much needed energy. Thanks to his spark they began moving up the field with less difficulty in the first half, and it was Ashton Ward’s turn to let the boot talk. He forced a dropout after perfectly placing a bomb for Alammadine, who, upon taking it, was rocked by a great shot from Skelton and ended up in the in-goal. Another attacking opportunity was seized by the Souths, when Ward put the ball up near the posts, where Plath, possibly the shortest man on the field, rose above everyone else in the contest to snatch the ball and notch up another try for the Bunnies. After Parramatta were given some field position via a penalty, they were looking to break their second half drought. They had bombed some chances, but finally added to their total through some one-two action with Hawkins and Cartwright, when Hawkins put Cartwright through a gap and he found Hawkins on the inside to finish it off. The Rabbitohs were dominating the first 20 minutes of the second half but this try put a pin in their balloon, as they conceded another to Papalii just minutes later, who was able to go himself off the wrap lines he’d been running so well all day when Volkman’s sleight of hand opened up the defence. Schuster’s boot created more points late in the match for Javier Pitovao, who dove on a sneaky grubber that he slid through after convincing everyone at Redfern Oval that he was going to pass the ball. It was too little too late however and the deception of Volkman came to the forefront once more, when he slid through the line untouched and found Saxon Pryke in support to bring up 50 points for the blue and gold.

NSWRL U21 Jersey Flegg Round 8

v Parramatta, 11:45am [BAR TV]

LOSS 22-32

Late Changes - Towns is out. Smith starts at fullback. Gallo is the concussion sub. South Sydney opened the scoring after some Hawkins forced a drop out, and two tackles later it was Wright who crossed out wide. A backline move saw Mellars almost setup HAwkins for a try. But it was Frame who burrowed over from dummy half to score in the next tackle. Possession from a string of penalties and dropped ball finally gave Parramatta a opportunity which they took and scored out wide. The final 10 minutes of the half became a error-a-thon as the teams went into the break South Sydney leading 12 to 4. Soon after the break a dropped bomb saw Parramatta score first in the second stanza. A opportunity up the other end of the field saw Alhazim score through a great diagonal run. Parramatta soon after hit back with two tries to take the lead for the first time in the match. Some clever ball work by the team saw South Sydney gain field position with Wright eventually scoring in the corner for his second of the afternoon, South Sydney regained the lead with 15 minutes to go. But immediately a dropped ball and a missed tackle from the scrum saw Parramatta score and were again back in front. Late in the game Parramatta wrapped up the match and winning 22 to 32. The toll of losing 3 forwards around halftime against the big PArramatta pack was too much in the end.

LOSS 8-28

Late Changes - Kaberry starts at prop, Lokeni on the bench.O'Brien is the concussion sub. Bourne drops off the bench. A dropped ball gave the Warriors a opportunity which they took to open the scoring. After some graet goal line defence, South Sydney got a opportunity, and it was great swearving by Feltham that saw him score out wide. Just before halftime the Warriors get a chance from a dropped ball and score next to the posts to go into the break leading 4 to 10. South Sydney hitback after the break, after some sustained pressure as Feltham once again chimes in to score. An error by South Sydney gave the Warriors a opportunity which they scored from to take a 8 point lead with 12 on the clock. Rooke also scores but loses the ball and the Warriors march up the field and score under the posts to seal the game. The Warriors scored again soon after, winning the game 8 to 28. So ends the gallant U17 season.
