Lucky or deft backspin?!

Haha, I reckon there was an element of luck there to hit the ball so deep into the in goal area and get it back.

 

[Man of Kent]

Turgess over.

[Man of Kent]

4-4 with Souths kick to come 

[Gerrumonside ref]

Bunnies 4-4 Pies

Burgess crashes over near the posts breaking a couple of tackles.

Kick missed.

[Man of Kent]

Still 4-4. 13 gone

[wackojacko]

He can never keep hold of it when he's playing for England...

[Man of Kent]

Try Souths. Campbell Graham.

Bad read from Wigan defence left gaping hole there. Valiant Tomkins tackle not enough.

 

[Gerrumonside ref]

The Bunnies break through the Wigan line on the right again near halfway and crash over despite some scrambling defence.

Kick missed.

Souths 8-4 Wigan

[Man of Kent]

8-4 Souths after 18

[Man of Kent]

Oh Samkins

[Gerrumonside ref]

Nightmare for Wigan as they knock on under the high kick near their own posts.

[Just Browny]

Lol

[Gerrumonside ref]

Wigan facing a repeat set.

[Old Frightful]

At least one of our English clubs can compete with the NRL

.

 

[Gerrumonside ref]

Burgess dragged into touch by the Rabbitohs at halfway 

[Gerrumonside ref]

Been impressed by the youthful Bunnies so far and I think the Cherry and Whites need to go back to basics after a good opening ten mins.

[Gerrumonside ref]

Marshall can’t hold onto it near the Souths’ line after Wigan get some good field position.

[Mattrhino]

I don't get this tackle over the touchline, apparently your not allowed to drag players but Burgess was being dragged by 3 players there. Not one of them was even attempting to tackle him towards the end.

[Man of Kent]

Cook makes about 50 yards from dummy half from a quick George Burgess PTB. Marshall binned for professional foul

[Gerrumonside ref]

South Sydney break through Wigan’s line again with great speed and power by Cook.

Wigan scramble in front of their sticks and Marshall is eventually sin binned for getting a hand in at the ptb.

[andyscoot]

Wigan looking pretty poor but how bad is the ruck? Twice the refs, half the speed.

Not so sure that’s a bad thing....

[Man of Kent]

Souths try. 12-4

Not sure myself buy I think the key was Burgess wasn't on the floor until being chucked into touch.
