LOSS 18-20
The South Sydney Rabbitohs have gone down to the North Queensland Cowboys in Townsville tonight (Saturday) by 20-18. Despite keeping the Cowboys scoreless in the second half, a horror start for the Rabbitohs proved too much to overcome after finding themselves down 14-0 inside the first ten minutes of play. The Cowboys put their best foot forward right from the kick-off, with the hang-time allowing them to force the Rabbitohs deep into their own half. From the next set, Mathew Wright opened the scoring after a Johnathan Thurston bomb was tapped back by Curtis Rona for the centre to score. Thurston added the extras from out wide to make it six-nil after just three minutes. Things didn’t get easier for Souths, when Nathan Merritt spilled the ball on a kick-return in part thanks to a high-shot from the Cowboys. But referee Ben Cummins ruled a knock-on – the decision proving costly for the Rabbits immediately with Tariq Sims crashing over just two tackles later. Thurston hooked the conversion attempt, leaving the score at 10-0. If Souths thought that their bad luck was over, the ensuing kick-off proved them wrong, with Sdam Reynolds’ kick-off being taken over the touch-line on the full by Curtis Rona. North Queensland immediately made the Rabbitohs pay, with Antonio Winterstein crossing in the corner to make it 14-0 after just nine minutes. After a forgettable opening to the match for the visitors, the Rabbitohs finally got over the stripe when Adam Reynolds changed direction before stabbing a grubber-kick into the in-goal for Chris McQueen to swoop on and score. Reynolds converted from close range to make it 14-6 after 20 minutes. The Cowboys hit back seven minutes later though, when Rona desperately batted a kick back in to Wright, who picked up his second of the night just inside the touch-line. Thurston sprayed the conversion attempt, leaving the score at 18-6 with 11 minutes of the first half remaining. A penalty against the Rabbitohs within kicking distance, allowed Thurston to kick his side a further two points ahead from short-range to take the teams to the break with the home-side leading 20-6. On the resumption, birthday boy Jason Clark powered over in fine style under the sticks to narrow the gap. Reynolds added the extras to make the score a more respectable 20-12. Both sides traded blows as they looked to gain an advantage. With the clock winding down, Greg Inglis broke through the Cowboys line before being dragged down 15 metres out. But a John Sutton grubber into the in-goal sat up well for Inglis who planted the ball over the line to make it a two-point ball-game with Reynolds’ conversion. Reynolds’ towering bomb claimed another victim in the form of Mathew Wright with 10 minutes remaining – giving the Rabbitohs perfect field position, but the red and green’s failed to come up with points. The Rabbitohs had a range of opportunities late in the game, but the Cowboys held on to come out on top – ending Souths’ four-game winning streak.

The South Sydney Rabbitohs have turned in a quality performance away from home to defeat the North Queensland Cowboys 28-18 in the Holden Cup under 20’s. The Rabbitohs led 10-6 at half time, and went on with it in the second half to register the ten-point victory. Both teams had chances early but it was the home side that would score first when hooker Josh Chudleigh darted over from dummy-half on the back of two back-to-back penalties. Second rower Corey Jensen converted to give the Cowboys a six-nil lead after 14 minutes. The Cowboys made an error from their first set after points and the Rabbitohs made the most of it, swinging the ball to the left to centre Tevita Cottrell. Cottrell, who was coming off of a man-of-the-match performance for NSW under 18’s last week, held off two defenders to touch down in the left hand corner to reduce the Cowboys’ lead to two after 16 minutes. The Rabbitohs would be the next to cross when in the 31st minute of play, Wallace Tangiiti put in a deft grubber kick for right side second rower Jack Gosiewski, who pounced on the bouncing ball for the four-pointer. Irae Simone added the extras to give the visitors a 10-6 advantage at the end of the first half. South Sydney was the first team to score in the second stanza when Cheyne Whitelaw scored under the posts almost untouched, after some well-structured play from the Rabbitohs halves. Simone converted to give the red and greens a 16-6 lead after 53 minutes of play. The Cowboys scored their second try through front rower Viliame Kikau in the 66th minute, with Jensen’s conversion reducing the deficit to just four points. The Rabbitohs responded in the best way possible with big Zane Musgrove charging hard at the line from ten metres to score under the posts three minutes later, with Simone’s conversion re-establishing the ten point buffer with less than ten minutes remaining in the match. The Rabbitohs added a final try three minutes from full time through interchange forward Clayton Williams who also made the most of the space between defenders in the Cowboys’ middle to score under the sticks. Simone added the extras to give the Rabbitohs a 28 points to 12 lead. Kikau scored a consolation try in the final 20 seconds of the match to take the final score line to 28-18 in favour of the South Sydney side. The Rabbitohs found their groove in the second half, realising that attacking the Cowboys’ middle would pay dividends. Whitelaw, Cameron McInnes and PJ Los’e were busy all evening, with Brock Gray solid in his under 20s debut.
