The Roosters may be down on troops today but they get an early win with a successful captain’s challenge – with a knock on decision against Egan Butcher reversed by the bunker, and Brandon Smith penalised for a strip instead. Boos from the crowd (this is officially a Rabbitohs home game, despite it being played on the Roosters’ home turf) as the Roosters get a penalty.
But the South Sydney defence holds firm and soon the red and green faithful have something to cheer for – the Bunnies get upfield thanks to a six-again for offside, then they run it late in the set and David Fifita forces his way over from dummy half out wide on the right.
Latrell Mitchell has the goal-kicking boots back these days but he puts his first attempt wide from the sideline.
Rabbitohs 4, Roosters 0 after six minutes
