WIN 22-14
The Burgess brothers steamrolled Cronulla as John Sutton and Robbie Farah turned back the clock to help stamp the Rabbitohs as genuine premiership contenders at ANZ Stadium on Friday night after registering a fifth consecutive win. The 22-14 scoreline belied the Rabbitohs dominance in what was effectively a one-sided contest until the final five minutes when the Sharks scored two late tries. South Sydney prop Tom Burgess scored two tries and was one of the many Souths stars as they overpowered the previously fourth-placed Cronulla to record their seventh win in their last eight matches. That record includes defeats of the Dragons, Warriors and Roosters. With their next four matches against teams positioned in the bottom half of the ladder, the Rabbitohs appear almost guaranteed of a finals berth and were described by Andrew Johns as "the real deal" during commentary of the Telstra Premiership match on Channel Nine. Souths were missing Greg Inglis and Dane Gagai on Queensland duty and NSW debutants Damien Cook and Angus Crichton, but they still boasted an impressive forward pack and that was where the game was won. England star Sam Burgess dropped back to the second row in Crichton's absence to partner Sutton, his 2014 premiership winning captain, who has recaptured his best form this season. Farah, the former NSW hooker, made 62 tackles in his first NRL appearance of the season in place ofCook, and was instrumental in his side's final try of the match by Tom Burgess. With Burgess and his twin brothers, George, starting in the front row and boom back-rower Cameron Murray at lock, the Rabbitohs dominated in the middle of the field to create a platform for halves Adam Reynolds and Cody Walker. In comparison, the Sharks struggled to make metres and on one occasion in the first half five-eighth Matt Moylan was forced to kick on the last tackle from inside his own 20 metre zone. Until the last 10 minutes, the Rabbitohs had been averaging about 10 running metres more in each of their sets of possession compared to the Sharks, with George Burgess (123m), Tom Burgess (140m), Sam Burgess (139m), Sutton (150m) and Murray (105m) all running more than 100 metres. Andrew Fifita (146m) and Paul Gallen (130m) were the only Cronulla forwards to carry the ball more than 100 metres, with prop Matt Prior (70m) the next best. Adding to the Sharks woes was the loss of Test forward Wade Graham in the 21st minute due to concussion after copping an accidental knee from Sam Burgess, the acting Souths captain. Rabbitohs centre Braidon Burns was forced from the field just a minute later with a knee injury and coach Anthony Seibold had to play interchange backrower Tyrell Fuimaono in a position he was already struggling for depth without Inglis and Gagai. After levelling the scores at 2-2 with a 12th minute penalty goal, Reynolds helped put his side in front a minute later when he ran the ball to the line and passed to Walker, who put Sutton into space on an angle run before finding Tom Burgess in support. Another Reynolds penalty goal extended Souths lead to 10-2 in the 25th minute and a cross field bomb by the former Blues playmaker resulted in a try to winger Campbell Graham five minutes after halftime. With Rabbitohs winger Robert Jennings [professional foul] and Cronulla five-eighth Matt Moylan [dissent] in the sin bin for separate incidents, Tom Burgess sealed the win when he crashed over for his second try in the 71st minute. Cronulla centre Jesse Ramien scored what appeared to be a consolation try five minutes from fulltime but when winger Sione Katoa dived over in two minutes later there were hopes the Sharks could snatch an unlikely win. But the clock beat the Sharks.

LOSS 10-28
Late Changes - Team is 1-17. The dynamic halves-pairing of Darren Nicholls and Jai Field has engineered a relentless second-half blitz from the Dragons as they recorded a commanding 28-10 victory over the North Sydney Bears on Saturday afternoon. Back-to-back tries in the first-half saw the Dragons take a comfortable 10-nil lead after half-an-hour, but a try to Dean Britt in the dying stages kept the Bears well and truly in the contest with just a converted try the difference. But three tries within a dominant nine-minute period, including two stunning four-pointers from Field, helped seal their second unanswered victory in convincing style. Patrick Herbert put in a starring man of the match performance after an early try set the tone for the away side, before he set up an incredible try for Field in the second-half to ice an impressive individual performance. The Dragons threatened early with some well-executed backline movements opening up some space down the left-hand touchline, but they were unable to capitalise on their chances with some costly handling errors. But while a majority of the opening 15 minutes was played through the middle-third, it was the Dragons who drew first blood after a determined effort from Herbert close to the line helped claim first points of the afternoon. They extended their lead when a towering Darren Nicholls bomb was fumbled by Bears fullback Jesse Arthurs, with Reuben Garrick picking up the scraps to cross in the left-hand corner. Nicholls was unable to convert at the Dragons took a 10-0 lead after 30 minutes. Momentum swung when a rampaging Zane Musgrove made a break through the middle-third to give his side valuable field position, and although they were unable to take advantage just a few tackles later, they eventually found their way when Dean Britt pounced on a deft kick from Billy Brittain for a crucial try just before half-time. Dean Hawkins couldn't convert just to the left of the uprights as the Dragons held onto a slender 10-4 advantage at the break. After a host of chances went begging just after the break for the Dragons, Nicholls took it upon himself to spark his side with a spirited individual effort from just 10 metres out which saw the dynamic halfback brush off three clutching Bears defenders on his way to the try-line. Brimming with confidence, Jai Field bolstered their lead when he latched onto a pin-point chip kick from Herbert after the livewire fullback broke through some flimsy Bears defence off the ensuing set for a scintillating four-pointer. Nicholls converted to take a comfortable 22-4 lead with just over 20 minutes remaining. Field looked threatening with the ball-in-hand after he inspired a Garrick break with some nifty footwork helping him get on the outside of the opposition defenders, but a desperate Hawkins saved the Bears after he intercepted a Garrick offload. Just moments later, the floodgates opened after Reece Robson took advantage of a quick play-the-ball with a darting run, before a late offload for Field saw the five-eighth show incredible pace to burn Arthurs for his second unanswered try. A Connor Tracey try in the final ten minutes salvaged some pride for the Bears after a disappointing performance, as the Dragons ran away with an 18-point victory and two much-needed competition points.
