SOUTHS 28 def PENRITH 18

SIX MORE PENRITH: Ruck infringement following the break by Papali'i

Laurie recovers and Penrith have to go the distance.

Souths survive! Every set closer and closer to victory for the Rabbitohs.

Hamstring for To'o and won't return.

Laurie is CRUNCHED by Ravalawa.

Six and a half to go... really need just one set at a time, reduce the Panthers yardage works

Leota loses it in the tackle of Keppie... this is a rare poor showing.

Tackle count restarts for the visitors but Jye Gray has come up with a one-on-one strip. That SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN!

Brian To'o is coming off for Penrith. So it's coming at a cost this loss for the visitors.

Penrith just seem to be running out of time. Souths doing just enough to put Penrith away for now... but is it too much?

Cole is taken on the last. Really anti-climatic end

Need to score quickly here Penrith. They are doing everything but score here.

Penrith need to put that decision behind them.

The replay, I cannot believe how Chris Butler has upheld that live decision.

That is a tight one, I have seen worse given from the Bunker and the Panthers cannot believe it.

VIDEO REF: Klein has NO TRY for Moses Leota

SIX MORE FOR THE PANTHERS

CHALLENGE PENRITH: On field ruling is a knock on but they are disputing if Jenkins was grabbed. He was CHALLENGE SUCCESSFUL

SIX MORE PENRITH: Ruck infringement.

Nice kick return from Daine Laurie and he finds Jack Cole before getting slaughtered by Mikaele Ravalawa.

Souths come up with another error - they are having horrible handling. Trent Toelau won't return with a knee injury.

Pass is ruled forward from the Panthers.

Great take from Paul Alamoti.

Trent Toelau is in the hands of the trainer as he comes off, Brad Schneider is his replacement.

PENALTY SOUTHS: Ruck interference.

Penrith complete their set after points.

Penrith need to find something here.

Gray loses it but great to see from Penrith to throw the footy around despite being down 28-0.

Just as they do that... it'll be another Souths error.

Souths now working out from their own end.

NO TRY!

VIDEO REF: Klein has NO TRY. Looked like a Tago knock on.

SIX MORE PENRITH: Ruck infringement

Liam Le Blanc loses the ball this time. So now we have entered the error phase of Thursday Night Football.

Take me now I have seen it all. Isaiah Yeo has thrown the world's most obvious forward pass since Mahomes hit Xavier Worthy in the Super Bowl.

Charge down from Martin and the Panthers have a rare set in Souths attacking territroy.

Alex Johnston update "shoulder blade/scapula concern" via Lara Pitt.

Alex Johnston comes off after a brave effort, Jayden Sullivan comes into the game.

SIX AGAIN SOUTHS

PENALTY SOUTHS: There was a late held call there and that's the only real subjective penalty of this one. I agree with Mick Ennis and that is not the right call.

INTERCEPT! Alex Johnston has intercepted it ! But with his shoulder is taken down immediately.

Great bit of scramble defence from the Panthers.

Lofted pass to Johnston and he is not 100% at all at the moment.

That pass from Jenkins is forward.

Havili in a bit of discomfort. Looks like Alex Johnston is going to battle to half-time, he has not been with the chase line the last few efforts.

Good grubber from Walker, Laurie takes it dead and it will be a goal line dropout.

Laurie drops it again! What is happening at Accor... send a search party and find the Penrith Panthers...

PENALTY SOUTHS: Kickoff out on the full

Souths will go for goal.

PENALTY SOUTHS: Late hit on the kicker.

Liam 'Smiley' Henry is out there - kick from inside the 40 is well defused by Gray.

Humphries goes short and direct. But Arrow is hit by Cole and Jenkins and crisis is averted.

Ravalawa takes it and is crunched for his trouble.

Great grubber from Gray and that'll be a dropout.

Offload looked to go forward but it's ruled to be okay and Souths looking for their third try.

NO TRY: Knock on from Martin.

VIDEO REF: Klein has NO TRY confirming a knock on in the contest.

Now Penrith into the armwrestle

Davvy Moale now out there for the home side - impressive first stint by Tatola.

Lindsay Smith is out there now. Isaiah Yeo desperate to change momentum as Laurie is taken desperately by Wighton.

Now Wighton is going, going, GONNNNE

Alamoti bundled over the sideline. Great job from Jack Wighton. Fortunate Son blares over the speaker as Penrith get reminded of the torture of the last 17 minutrs.

Looks as if Alex Johnston is okay out there at the moment.

Some enterprising play on the last from the Panthers but terrific South Sydney scramble saves the day.

That's a way to end the Souths momentum... poor kick into a seven tackle set. Penrith really needed the ball.

PENALTY SOUTHS: Slow peel against Luke Garner.

Great bit of sportsmanship from Daine Laurie to hold his body up until the trainer came.

Oh my lord Daine Laurie... he has put it down.

No surprises as Sorensen leaves for a HIA.

Scott Sorensen is down for the count and this will be an easy category 1 concussive incident.

SIX AGAIN SOUTHS: Ruck infrigement.

PENALTY SOUTHS: Incorrect restart.

Straight away they go down that fearsome left edge as Wighton and Johnston combine. AJ kicks infield and Souths force a dropout.

NRL game 100 for Mikaele Ravalawa.

Big mistake early in this one from Trent Toelau. Fails to get to a kick!

Both sides through their opening set. Has to be said Penrith really did dominate the field position early on.

UNDERWAY! Round 4 is underway and Souths will get first use of it!

Ash Klein is in charge officiating in game 406. Touch judges are Drew Oultram and Ziggy Przeklasa-Adamski. Chris Butler is in the bunker tonight. Kickoff at the top of the hour.

After recovering from the Race of Champions. The NRL makes a welcome return to Accor Stadium and the HOME of the South Sydney Rabbitohs as they take on the Penrith Panthers. Souths come into this one following a disappointing loss to Cronulla while Penrith face the prospect of three straight losses after defeats to the Roosters and Storm. Onto team news, Tevita Tatola starts while Davvy Moale is on the bench. For Penrith, Isaiah Papali'i earns the start while Kangaroo prop Lindsay Smith reverts back to the bench.
