Connor Tracey busts through the middle and goes himself repeatedly before finally getting dragged down.

With less than seven minutes on the clock and the margin 16, it looks like the Eels have this one in the bag.

An unimaginative end to a set from the Rabbitohs as Tom Burgess is comfortably accounted for on the last. The Eels pick up a penalty coming out of their own end now and they could well finish this game off here.

Parramatta look likely down the edge again but the last past to Ferguson is errant and he ends up soccering it over the sideline.

Souths go close down the right side after Doueihi poked through the line, but the Eels are wise to it and nullify the threat.

Manu Ma'u goes close... he's hovering over the line and the Bunnies somehow rake it out but it pops back to the Eels and it's six more!

A mid-field break from Gower who finds Clint Gutherson on the run... Gutho's away! He makes it to about 30m out. As the set winds down the Eels manage to force a drop-out by burying Campbell Graham in goal.

The Bunnies on the march since halftime - they're making metres far more easily than the Eels but so far their last-tackle options have let them down.

Connor Tracey breaks down the left flank after getting past Josh Hoffman but is wrapped up 20m out. Souths switch to the other wing on the following plays but they are caught on the last just short of the line. Handover to the Eels.

And we're back underway at Bankwest Stadium. Parramatta have first use.
