WIN 20-18

The South Sydney Rabbitohs have produced a gritty 20-18 victory over the Gold Coast Titans, holding onto a slim two-point lead in the final 12 minutes of the game to come up with the crucial win away from home. Latrell Mitchell starred in his return to the NRL, lining up at left centre with Jye Gray retaining his place at fullback. Mitchell produced two crucial try-assists, putting Alex Johnston over the line twice. Bayleigh Bentley-Hape was the other try-scorer on the right wing, and kicked 4/4 goals, including two penalties which proved to be the difference in the end. Jye Gray was also brilliant from fullback by running for a team high of 174 metres, including 39 metres post contact. The Rabbitohs started the game strongly, opening the scoring in the third minute through Alex Johnston. A penalty against Chris Randall saw the Rabbitohs march upfield for their first attacking opportunity of the game. From there, it was a big left shift from the Red and Green through the hands, with Latrell Mitchell throwing the last pass to send Johnston over in the corner for career try number 208. The Titans looked to have squared the ledger through Jayden Campbell, who strolled through a gap in the defence from close range with some fancy footwork. However, a late effort from Mitchell saw Campbell lose possession as he tried to bring the ball closer to the posts, with South Sydney off the hook and holding their lead for the time being. Gold Coast did eventually hit back through Jaylan De Groot on the right wing in the 11th minute, running off a questionable flick pass from Jojo Fifita in the centres. The successful conversion from Campbell saw the home side take the lead 6-4 for the first time in the game. The Titans then extended their lead through Beau Fermor, who hit a hole off a Kieran Foran short ball close to the line. A penalty against Jai Arrow for dissent saw the Titans go even further ahead in the 19th minute, with Campbell kicking the goal to put the scores at 12-4. A knock on from Jojo Fifita saw the Rabbitohs back in the attacking zone. This time they attacked the right-hand side, with Bayleigh Bentley-Hape crossing in the corner to get his side back into the contest. The right winger then converted his own try, reducing South Sydney’s deficit to just two points. The Rabbitohs began to dominate field position and march upfield thanks to some great power running and second-phase play. Liam Le Blanc was taken out without the ball on suspicion, with South Sydney awarded a penalty within range of the posts. Bentley-Hape slotted the goal, levelling things up at 12-all in the 31st minute. A lengthy bust from Latrell Mitchell saw the Rabbitohs find themselves back in attacking territory, where they were awarded a penalty in front of the posts for an illegal steal by Campbell on Arrow. With a minute remaining in the half, South Sydney opted for the shot at goal, with Bentley-Hape putting his side back in front 14-12 at the break.

The second half began slowly compared to the first, with both sides feeling each other out early and jostling for field position. The Rabbitohs lost Lachlan Hubner in the 54th minute when he sustained a head knock attempting to go low on Jaylan De Groot. This saw young gun Thomas Fletcher enter the contest in jersey 17. A line break coming out of trouble from Alofiana Khan-Pereira saw the home side on the attack for the first time in the second half. The Titans threw plenty at South Sydney in attack, but the Rabbitohs defended admirably and ultimately repelled the Titans. South Sydney then put together some scintillating attack off the back of their great defensive effort in the previous set, with Mitchell setting up Johnston for the second time in the game to put the away side even further ahead. Jamie Humphreys launched a midfield bomb which was gathered in by Mitchell who beat AJ Brimson to the ball in their air. Mitchell then threw an audacious flick pass to Johnston, who beat three defenders to find his way to the line for the 209th time in his career. The Titans were quick to hit back when Sam Verrills caught the South Sydney defenders napping with a sneaky dummy-half effort from a meter out from the line. Campbell kicked the goal, putting the scores at 20-18 in favour of the Rabbitohs with 12 minutes remaining. The home side put up quite the fight in the last few minutes, and came incredibly close to scoring on their left edge through Jojo Fifita on two occasions. However, the South Sydney defence would not break, and came up with a number of crucial try-savers to keep the scores at 20-18 to hold on for the win.

Reserve Grade - NSW Cup Premiership Round 23

v Sydney Roosters, Redfern Oval, Sun Aug 10 2:15pm [BAR TV]

LOSS 24-26

Match was relocated from Wentworth Park to Redfern Oval, due to the heavy rain in Sydney.

Late Changes - Dodd and Skelton are out. Quinn starts at five-eighth, Humphries at half, Kelso at second row. Kalo Kalo is the concussion sub. Sydney Roosters have won a thrilling contest at Redfern Oval in Round 23 of The Knock-On Effect NSW Cup, defeating South Sydney Rabbitohs 26-24 to keep their finals chances alive. Roosters struck first in this storied rivalry matchup through Ashton Warwick. The booming back-rower received a tidy short ball from the play-the-ball and crashed over to score a try. Sandon Smith converted the try for an early 6-0 lead. Roosters scored back-to-back tries for a 12-0 lead thanks to a classy move from Sandon Smith. The halfback threw a dummy to cut through the line and go on a run and found his centre Reece Foley outside of him, who skipped past the last defender to score. South Sydney clawed one back to get onto the scoreboard. Ammaron Gudgeon scooped up the ball on the 10-metre line following a failed short ball from Humphries, and the fullback pushed his way through the defence to just get the ball over the line. Rabbitohs scored back-to-back tries to level up the match. A cross-field kick found Haizyn Mellars who looked to be locked up by his opposing winger, however Mellars managed to get an offload out to Talanoa Penitani. Penitani managed to find a wide open gap and burst through to score. The combination for Sandon Smith and Ashton Warwick bore fruit once more as the half put up a cross-field bomb for Warwick. The young forward leapt up for a clean catch and scored his second of the day. The try was converted to send the Roosters into the sheds with an 18-12 lead. The Roosters were awarded a penalty for a high tackle midway through the second half and opted to take the two and push the lead out to 20-12. Souths scored a try to get back into the game. The left edge was in full flight as Quinn found Gudgeon who threw a cut-out ball to Mellars to dive in the corner and score a try. Humphries nailed the conversion from the sideline to tighten the score to 20-18. Haizyn Mellars scored himself back-to-back tries to put South Sydney in the lead for the first time in the game. Matthew Humphries put in a cross-field kick in the corner and Mellars leapt forward to take a clean catch and score his double. Humphries converted from the sideline again to make it 24-20. Following a scuffle Declan Casey was sent to the sin bin, and with South Sydney down to 12 players the Roosters took a golden opportunity to re-take the lead. Sandon Smith threw a cut-out pass to Fetalaiga Pauga who scored in the corner, and with less than 90 seconds on the clock Smith put the Roosters in the lead after kicking the conversion from the sideline to make the final score 26-24.

NSWRL U21 Jersey Flegg Round 21

v Sydney Roosters, 12:00pm [BAR TV]

LOSS 12-44

Match was relocated from Wentworth Park to Redfern Oval, due to the heavy rain.

Late Changes - Quinn is out. Taylor starts at five-eighth. Frame is the concussion sub. Mann dropps off the bench. The Roosters open the scoring with just a minute on the clock. They cross again under the posts. A few minutes later they score another long range try. Ten minutes later they were in again. South Sydney hit back when Fong pounced on a loose ball and scored under the posts. We let in another try down the left. The Roosters went into the break leading 6 to 26. A kick hits the upright and Easts are in again under the posts. They go back to back 2 minutes later with a try behind the ruck. A nice backline spread sees Poynton score out wide. But the Roosters ended up winning 12 to 44.

Central Coast hit back in the wet conditions dribbling the ball in goal on the last tackle to score next to the posts. A well worked scrum backline play saw Church score in the corner. South Sydney leading at the break 20 to 12. Midway through the second half, Central Coast scored a long range try from a scrum to narrow the marging to just 2 points, as the sun emerged.
