WIN 18-16
South Sydney made hard work of their sixth successive victory, and their second without their State of Origin stars, but came way from Cbus Super Stadium with an 18-16 win against the Titans to remain safely in third position on the ladder. At one stage the Titans had conceded 12 penalties to Souths' three, had lively back-rower Keegan Hipgrave in the sin-bin twice, and put themselves on the back foot with errors. But the Rabbitohs were not safe until the final whistle and could blame themselves for that after dominating most of the first half. Souths completed at just 64 per cent [28 from 44 sets with the ball] with Sam Burgess as guilty as anyone, with four clear drops of the ball in possession. The victory makes it six straight for Souths on the Gold Coast, where the Titans have not beaten them since 2009. Gold Coast could not be blamed for lack of effort, with Queensland prop Jarrod Wallace more than making up for his poor performance on Wednesday night with 168 metres, the most of any forward on the field. However it was Ryan James who was the best forward of the match. He scored two tries, made 46 tackles and 163 metres from 20 runs, showing NSW coach Brad Fittler he is ready for Origin should any of the game one forwards strike injury. Souths should have led clearly at half-time after dominating possession and having the most scoring opportunities. But they had two tries disallowed and fell into errors late in the half that had marred the Titans' first 30 minutes. Gold Coast had had just 37 per cent of possession after 25 minutes because of a rush of penalties [seven in the first half] and handling errors and were down to 12 men after Hipgrave was binned for offside near the try line - deemed a professional foul. The Titans were certainly brave in defeat. They spent almost all the second half with a two-man interchange due to injuries to props Max King and Moeaki Fotuaika and spent 20 minutes without Keegan in the sin bin. Titans had the best possible start, with a try to Phil Sami in the fifth minute from an Ash Taylor kick that went clear through the hands of Rabbitohs winger Campbell Graham. They should have been further ahead four minutes later when a neat grubber from Alexander Brimson saw only Dale Copley and Keegan Hipgrave following the ball. But they got in each other's way trying to ground it and Copley knocked on. From that point, South dominated for most of the remainder of the first session. Sam Burgess crossed in Souths' next set only for a try to be called back because his brother George collided with Jarrod Wallace as he ran a decoy. However, they converted their next opportunity when Brimson came in and left Copley stranded, allowing Adam Doueihi to cross on the right edge. Adam Reynolds converted to give Souths a 6-4 lead after 13 minutes. Robbie Farah went over from dummy half after back-to-back penalties but dropped the ball, only for Hipgrave to be sin-binned, when referee Grant Atkins lost patience with the continual misdemeanors by the home side. Gold Coast junior product Cody Walker crossed on the left after playing with Titans right centre Brenko Lee who held off him. The score was 10-4 after 18 minutes but Souths had crossed the line four times, with two tries disallowed. The Titans were back in the game nine minutes before the break when skipper James charged over from 10 metres close to the ruck, with Michael Gordon converting for 10-all. Yet Souths were far more dominant in the first session. The Titans' errors continued in the second half. Reynolds kicked a penalty goal two minutes and two minutes later Hipgrave was binned for a second time in the match for a strip, the fourth penalty conceded by Gold Coast in the first four minutes of the half. Alex Johnston made them pay when he scored after a passing rush to the right in the 47th minute and Reynold's conversion made it 18-10. Sami was centimetres close to scoring his second soon after, again from a Taylor kick, but his right hand touched the dead-ball line before he grounded the ball with the other hand. James crossed for his second try from close range in the 61st minute to put Gold Coast within two points after Gordon's conversion. But with a quarter of the game remaining, they could not close the gap.

v Canterbury-Bankstown, North Sydney Oval, Sat Jun 9 1:00pm
LOSS 10-20
Late Changes - Arthars, Freebairn are out. Butler starts centre, Fuimaono second row and Bailey on the bench. The Bulldogs have muscled their way to a gutsy 20-12 victory over the North Sydney Bears in a scrappy encounter at North Sydney Oval on Saturday afternoon. On the back of a barnstorming Rhyse Martin and spirited performance from Josh Bergamin, the Bulldogs were able to hold off a fast-finishing Bears outfit thanks to some committed defensive efforts in the closing stages. Both sides were guilty of ill-discipline with the ball-in-hand with some costly mistakes in the opening half, but the Bulldogs ensured they would go into the break with a slight advantage after a Martin try just moments before the half-time whistle. The Bears came out with a point to prove in the second-half but a scintillating individual effort from Bronson Garlick halted their momentum and ensured the Bulldogs would come away with two valuable competition points. Smith gave the Bulldogs a perfect start after he pounced on a loose Dean Hawkins pass before running 50 metres down the left-hand touchline to take an early lead after 10 minutes. Both sides were looking to take advantage of some valuable field position with some threatening attacking raids, but more handling errors ruined their chances with the Bulldogs holding onto their slender six-point advantage after 25 minutes. Just moments later, a determined effort from Connor Tracey saw the elusive five-eighth break through some poor defensive efforts to get the Bears back into the contest after a scrappy opening stanza. Hawkins converted to level the scores at 6-all after 30 minutes. A strong carry off a 20-metre restart from Josh Bergamin quickly shifted momentum after the Bulldogs were heavily on the back-foot, before a deft grubber from Lachlan Lewis saw Rhyse Martin snatch the lead with just five minutes remaining in the first-half. Martin converted his own try as the Bulldogs took a handy 12-6 lead at the break. An energetic start from the Bears saw them dominate the middle-third in the early exchanges, but a penalty-goal from Martin gave the Dogs an eight-point buffer after 50 minutes. The Bears threatened to hit-back with repeated sets on the Bulldogs goal-line but were unable to capitalise as the Bulldogs defence held strong. Garlick had an immediate impact off the bench when he burst onto a Martin offload on the halfway line before evading the fullback and clutching Bears defenders to cross for crucial four-pointer with just 20-minutes remaining. The Bears had a glimmer of hope when Mawene Hiroti crossed just five minutes later after he darted through some flimsy defence to reduce the deficit to just ten points. The Bulldogs looked to have put the result beyond doubt with Tuipulotu Katoa crossing in the right-hand corner in the closing stages only to be denied by a forward pass. Martin had a chance to add another two-points to their tally right on full-time, but he was unsuccessful as the Bulldogs claimed a hard-fought 20-12 victory.

Late Changes - Davis-Welsh, Simon, O'Mealey, Riley, Grimes and Cladwell are out. Doyle starts fullback, Ianeta Baker wing, Taupau five-eighth, Mikayla Baker hooker, Kershaw prop, Waters second row, Murray and Tallon added to the bench. South Sydney have rested six of the Womens Championship reprsentative stars. The South Sydney Rabbitohs women's team undefeated run has come to an end going down to CRL Newcastle 24-4 at Morry Breen Oval. With key players missing due to injury the Rabbitohs fielded a new formation of players, who showed incredible versatility and courage to adapt at a late stage. Right from the outset Newcastle had something to prove running hard and direct but it was the Rabbitohs who got on the board first. A big run from forward Kimbaley Kershaw set the Red and the Green up in good attacking position, allowing halfback Maddie Studdon to find Mary Taupau with a pinpoint kick the following tackle. Studdon couldn't convert the conversion leaving the Rabbitohs with a 4-0 lead after 5 minutes. However, Newcastle responded with intent, equalising through Hannah Southwell, who scored in the corner. Halfback Melanie Howard was unsuccessful with her conversion from out wide making it 4-4 in the seventh minute of the match. Newcastle would then amp up the pressure and were soon in again through centre Jayne Fressard, who was too strong and too powerful close to the line, extending her sides' lead out to 8-4. The Rabbitohs tried their hearts out to get themselves back into the match but some poor errors in key moments let them down and they were soon punished for it. Newcastle back-rower Caitlan Johnson barged over after a run from the car park to give Newcastle a 12-4 lead going into half-time. Coming out in the second half the Rabbitohs started with a new intent lead by Studdon and forward Grace Uluiburuto. However the Rabbitohs couldn't find the break they were after and Newcastle struck off the back of a couple of penalties. Southwell went in for her second off the back of a sweeping backline move by Newcastle. Howard nailed the conversion giving Newcastle a strong 18-4 lead. The remained of the match turned into an arm wrestle as the Red and Green pushed Newcastle right to the death. Despite continuously moving up the field through strong running, ball handling let the Red and Green down when they needed it most. Newcastle would wrap up the match with a converted try from Howard, who dummied her way through the Rabbitohs line to score under the posts.
