FULL TIME and the Tigers WIN again
Starford To'a takes the kick off catch and it should be enough for the Tigers
LUKE BROOKS KICKS IT
CHALLENGE UNSUCCESSFUL: Accidental offside is the ruling and the Tigers have a scrum 30m out from the Souths line
Jock Madden misses the field goal as Damien Cook charges the ball down and Ziggy rules an accidental offside
Jai Arrow somewhat stupidly takes a field goal as there is confusion for the Rabbitohs and the Bunnies give away 7 tackles from the 20, when they could've had the pressure on Tigers
Jackson Hastings hits the field goal sweetly again but again the angle is not there and it's another 7 tackle set for the Rabbitohs from the 20
Taane Milne loses the ball after the Rabbitohs make good metres and good field position is wasted
Jackson Hastings takes the shot at 2 points and it's got the power but the angle at the end is no good, plus it goes dead so the Rabbitohs get 7 tackles from the 20

Blake Taaffe from about 14m in from touch takes a few deeps breaths and slots the conversion to level the scores
TRY TIME - The repeat set helps Souths as they stack the right side and just a one on one tackle miss from Jackson Hastings lets Keaon Koloamatangi stroll through
SIX MORE TACKLES - Last tackle and the Tigers are pinned for a ruck infringement, so have to defend another set on their line
Souths scrum 10m out from the Tigers line
CHALLENGE SUCCESSFUL: The obvious call is eventually made took, the Bunker 1 replay to rule the knock on.
CAPTAINS CHALLENGE: Souths challenge the ruling of a knock on from Ziggy; Looked live a Tigers knock-on but the ruling is back off Tigers live
Jackson Hastings converts from right in front
Luke Brooks cleans up a scrappy pass that Lachlan Illias through after running on the last and it's off Campbell Graham's shoulder and Brooks races away to score
Cody Walker kicks into the corner but not much attack on it, more trying to pin the Tigers deep in their half
Not a lot of pressure on Starford To'a on the deep kick, though still can't get out of the 10m
Jackson Hastings conversion attempt is 99% on target as it hits the upright but goes back into the field of play
Off the scrum, the Tigers go right and somehow the defence goes wrong for Souths and it leaves Nofoaluma V Arrow and Nofoaluma goes into score and level things
PENALTY TIGERS: Much needed penalty as Tom Burgess is penalised for a strip
NO TRY - Damien Cook knocks the ball on the rebound and Tigers survive
BUNKER: Adam Gee is getting a workout in the bunker in the past 5 minutes, this time it's a Souths effort going up, Damien Cook looks to have knocked on but with the ball ending up with Tom Burgess potentially scoring, Ziggy wants to confirm
NO TRY - Josh Mansour makes a meal of taking the catch on a high kick BUT Ken Maumalo is ruled offside by the bunker and the live decision
NO TRY - Adam Gee in the bunker on debut rules the knock on, but says there was an escort from Cody Walker in the lead up
Well that's a calamity - Alex Johnston has thrown a pass to nobody and Luke Brooks cleans it up and claims the try. Some concern about a knock on from Luke Brooks as he passed it
The Bunnies were able to take advantage of the extra man, took them 9:30 to do it but they used the advantage
Blake Taaffe from 19m in from touch, about 15m out nails the conversion right through the middle
THE SAUCE - Josh Mansour chases through the Lachlan Illias kick and the deflection works it beautifully and the hands from Josh Mansour to ground are just magnificent like so many other things in his game.
Josh Mansour turns the ball back inside to Campbell Graham who puts it down simply
SECOND HALF IS GO! The Bunnies with the extra man have first use of the ball and get a penalty as well
Blake Taaffe loses the ball as the Rabbitohs start to command the attack in the Tigers 10
Alex Twal is gone for a professional foul
Ken Maumalo outjumps Josh Mansour (which who couldn't; Sorry Sauce) but can't hold onto the ball and loses it just in the field of play
Souths blow a certainty even though it was 70m out from the line - Tigers get the play horribly wrong and trying to keep it in, David Nofoaluma throws it to three Souths players but Cody Walker loses it
Blake Taaffe loses the ball having to clean up a ricochet which is very awkward
Blake Taaffe loses the ball having to clean up a ricochet which is very awkward
That was a amazing piece of play from Josh Mansour, shepherds the ball and was about to knock the ball dead but a diving Ken Maumalo pushed Mansour out of the way and made him miss the ball
PENALTY TIGERS x 2: Liam Knight on report twice once for a crusher tackle and then for a dangerous throw
Jackson Hastings from just inside the left hand sideline and gets it inside the upright and converts to put the Tigers in front again
The rushing up defence has almost caught Souths out a few times but finally they are caught out when Campbell Graham rushed up leaving Josh Mansour isolated and they can't stop Ken Maumalo in the corner
Six more tackles for the Tigers as the Rabbitohs take took long to get away from the tackle
Blake Taaffe's conversion attempt hangs itself out to the right and is waved away
Do the Rabbitohs or Tigers have an extra man? Just so much room on the outside for Souths as the spin left and Alex Johnston just has a great run at the line and the Tigers defence is in all sorts
Not the cleanest strike ever but Blake Taaffe gets the extra two from close range
Right place Right Time; Our words can't describe what happened there, Souths run it on the last and then it ends up with Johnston who look wrapped up but he got the offload away and Walker is on the spot to clean it up and score
BUNKER: What on earth has happened there - the Bunnies have crossed but the Referee has said NO TRY checking a myriad or things
SIX MORE - Ruck infringement against the Tigers as the Bunnies go on the attack
Repeat set for the Rabbitohs after Walker's kick goes in behind the Tigers line and Laurie carries it dead
An eventful minute or two for Souths with Taane Milne given 10 minutes by the referee after a high shot late on Daine Laurie. It doesn't matter that the try was scored, it was "Direct forceful contact"
From the sideline Jackson Hastings hits the conversion sweetly
David Nofoaluma gets over out wide after the Tigers have targeted the right-hand side well already and then a great cut out ball from Daine Laurie gets Nofa over out wide

Jackson Hastings assesses the situation well and kicks in behind the line and Blake Taaffe has to clean it up just before David Nofoaluma got there
SIX MORE - The Souths defence is pretty much up with the scrum and they give away the set restart
Josh Mansour can't come up with the ball after a loose pass comes his way; To'a pushed into touch but no advantage ruled
Last tackle the defence rushes up on Ilias and he's forced to rush a pass and it's forward into Damien Cook before going onto another Souths player
Not conventional but David Noafaluma pulls off as he traps the ball with his foot, pushes it away from the defence and then dives on it to get out of the ingoal
Strong defensive effort to start for the Rabbitohs as the Tigers struggled to make big metres
GAME ON! Zbigniew Przeklasa-Adamski calls time on but it's a false start initially as the ball comes off the tee before Damien Cook can get boot to ball - Tigers using the ball first defending the northern end.
