Souths beat Parramatta!


South Sydney remains undefeated after they beat the Parramatta Eels 31-6 in their first home game of the season at Telstra Stadium last Sunday.

In front of more than 15,000 fans the Rabbitohs produced a superb defensive and attacking effort to outclass their rivals five tries to one.

After a close first half, Souths let loose with winger Nathan Merritt proving especially strong.
Merritt, last season's leading try scorer, crossed for a brilliant individual try and scored another, while Paul Mellor, David Fa'alogo and Nigel Vagana also scored for the home side.

The Rabbitohs are now one of seven unbeaten sides in the competition, and are placed second on "for and against" points after two rounds.

This Saturday the Rabbitohs will face a tougher task when they take on the Cronulla Sharks. With the once cellar-dwellers now commanding respect, the match against the Sharks will be another chance for the rejuvenated Rabbitohs to prove they are a force in this year's competition.
