Wests play the ball with no dummy half in place. OMG!

Farnworth grounds it but I think there was a knock-on in the lead-up, ref agrees, bunker .... also agrees.

Fantastic scenes and noise at Brookie, with DCE guiding his charges to victory over the Premiers in his club record appearance game.

Great to see such pride and passion. You could see how much it meant to him in his lovely comments post-match with the Fox studio team.

Quote

Latrell Mitchell has been hit with a three-game after the Rabbitohs superstar was placed on report twice during a 34-4 loss to the Warriors on Saturday.

Twenty minutes into the game Mitchell was penalised for an elbow to the head of Shaun Johnson and then six minutes before half-time he was pinged for a lifting tackle on Tohu Harris.

Mitchell was only charged for the first incident and if he challenges the charge at the judiciary and loses he’ll miss four weeks.

Fox Sports - Latrell banned

The Titans are desperate to break their duck for 2024 in this Queensland derby but it will be a tough task against the Cowboys at home.

Both teams look like they’ll line up 1-17 but dropped Cowboys forward Thomas Mikaele is currently the 18th Man and could come into calculations in a late switch.

Titans superstar David Fifita is on the bench but could come into the starting side after playing 55 minutes off the bench in his return from injury against the Dolphins last week.

Was at the Wembley 1968 "Watersplash" CC final in 1968 (Leeds v Wakefield). These conditions reminded me of that epic match. So many memories from that occasion!
