While Latrell Mitchell may have grabbed the headlines, Jye Gray is having another terrific game at fullback and produces another spectacular effort at the back to outjump James Tedesco to a tricky bomb.
It’s a nail-biter of a finish here after a topsy-turvy game. After a first half in which both teams struggled with the ball in hand, suddenly either team looks capable of scoring at any moment.
Now Chad Townsend puts up a booming bomb, and this time it’s Mitchell’s turn to outleap the opposition and bring it down safely. Now Souths earn a penalty for a strip in a two-man tackle by Siua Wong (the Roosters use, and lose, their captain’s challenge). The Bunnies should be able to hang onto this one.
Rabbitohs 20, Roosters 14 after 78 minutes
