BOOYAH!!!

never forget roosters... its an 80 minute game.

SOUTH SYDNEY 24 d. ROOSTERS 22

The rabbitohs, with two tries in the final two minutes, beat the Roosters and secured a top-four spot. The first came from winger Nathan Merritt, then, as the seconds ticked down, halfback Adam Reynolds scored from a play which originated from the ensuing kick off. It was remarkable.


Up until then, the Roosters supporters had been singing. When halfback Mitchell Pearce scored with four minutes remaining, they had led 22-12. Doubts were surfacing in the Rabbitohs' ability to win on big occasions, knowing they could claw into the top-four with a win last night. In a flash, the Rabbitohs had responded, and the Roosters, who had scrapped and fought so hard, were left in disbelief.


The Rabbitohs had some issues to deal with too. Hooker Issac Luke was placed on report for a lifting tackle on his New Zealand teammate Shaun Kenny-Dowall. Luke can be a superb attacking weapon out of dummy half, but he needs to curb his aggression occasionally.

On top of that, the Rabbitohs suffered some injuries to key players. While both fullback Greg Inglis finished the match, he was certainly troubled by a knee injury suffered three minutes before half-time.

Reynolds, too, suffered a nasty injury and, while he managed to play on, the Rabbitohs will no doubt be sweating on his fitness over the next few days. Reynolds's left ankle was caught awkwardly underneath the weight of centre Mitchell Aubusson, and he finished the match with the joint heavily strapped.

Second-rower Dave Taylor also suffered a dislocated finger.

When Souths wanted to play they were difficult to stop. They showed that from the opening. Inglis was too quick to get past halfback Mitchell Pearce, not quick enough to get around fullback Anthony Minichiello, but good enough to throw a netball pass to Nathan Merritt for the try.

But then the Rabbitohs got a little comfortable. They weren't doing the things that came in the build-up to the try, like bending their back in attack. They did so in defence, which deprived the Roosters of points for a time, but the Rabbitohs kept turning the ball back to their opponents, with a pushed pass or one thrown forward.

They were always going to break and they finally did after 23 minutes. Skipper Braith Anasta's kick was contested by both Inglis and Roosters centre Tautau Moga. Neither of them came down with the ball; that was left to second-rower Boyd Cordner, who scored.

That sparked the Rabbitohs into action again. Their response was swift, Dave Taylor's flick finding centre Dylan Farrell, who put his winger Andrew Everingham over.

But then the Roosters piled on the pressure. It almost paid off, when Joseph Leilua cheekily grubbered for himself, only to pick the ball up with his right foot out of play.

The Rabbitohs copped the tip from their coach in the second half. They were more disciplined with the football and spent the early stages of the half dominating proceedings.

But the Roosters caught the Rabbitohs, well, on the hop. Souths interchange player Jason Clark tried a miracle flick with his side deep in attack, before Mitchell Pearce's ball put Moga into clear air, and the winger showed some toe to score.

Somehow, Leilua was denied another try by the video referee, Russell Smith, midway through the second half. The winger appeared to have done enough to convince the officials that he had grounded the ball in the corner, but Smith, somewhat mystifyingly, did not agree. But six minutes later, Leilua would not be denied, scoring in the same spot. Pearce finished off a movement full of flair with four minutes remaining.

They thought they were home. That can never be assumed.

SOUTH SYDNEY 24 (N Merritt 2 A Everingham A Reynolds tries A Reynolds 4 goals) bt SYDNEY ROOSTERS 22 (B Cordner J Leilua T Moga M Pearce tries B Anasta 3 goals) at Allianz Stadium. Referee: Shayne Hayne, Alan Shortall. Crowd: 19,934.

That was a hell of an ending to the game! I only saw the last 10 minutes but I'm so glad I did, that final try was a great example of nothing-to-lose rugby (and I'm not even a Rabbitohs fan, sorry )

hey no need to be sorry.

and yeah its such a pleasure to watch this team this year. they seem to stumble 20-15 minutes out from half time but after the break seem to gather their heads. they pull shit out of their hats that previous teams would never have. its awesome. cant wait for dragons game next weekend.

Well as a Tigers fan I can say that it has not been a pleasure watching our lot this year! Being from the UK originally, and a massive Wigan fan, I've got a bit of a soft spot for the Bunnies now that Michael Maguire is the coach. He got us to our first grand final in years and I was gutted when he left but I love watching the way his teams play.

BAH!!!!!!!!!

Inglis will get a couple of weeks for the shoulder charge. That was one of the most brutal tackles I've seen in a while. If he hadn't made contact with his head there wouldn't have been a problem with but he didn't missed him!!

it was a hit and half wasnt it?. maybe next time dean young will watch where hes going instead of looking for support. :P

i suspect inglis will get at least 3 weeks.

the ridiculous thing was while young was flat out on the deck, a cameraman thought it a good idea to get a shot of isaac luke to flash up on the big screen. luke wasnt amused and gave the camerman the 'cut' signal. what kind of idiot would flash on a guy suspended for a high shot when theres a guy on the ground as a result of the same thing. dumbarse.

im glad young is ok.

Yes Young's a tough nut. It's a shame his knees are giving out on him.

The TV directors at the footy are goons.They'll chase controversy any chance they get. The papers this morning were all about banning the shoulder charge when they should be looking at upping the suspensions for contact to the head. It gives me the shits when they waffle on about player welfare and then their the first to convict them of any wrongdoing whenever there is an off field discretion. After reading about the wash up of the Brett Stewart saga I was blown away at how it was reported to what really happen.

As Gus would say :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono:

im in two minds about the shoulder charge. my problem with it is i wonder whether some players utilise it in order to cause maximum damage or whether its used in order to stop an offensive player cold. personally i love a bone rattling hit as much as the next person but if a player goes into a shoulder charge only to inflict harm then something needs to be done.but at least league players arent wearing helmets and padded. ive no doubt G.I. saw dean young wasnt paying attention and used that to his advantage.. unfortunately its turned to his detriment... but no worries hell be back to help souths into the grand final.

and yeah that brett stewart business was utter bullshit.

7 more games and the bunnies will be premiers!!!!! woowoo!!!!!
