So, like, South Sydney got totally wrecked in their game against the Knights. Jye Gray got a gnarly cork and Peter Mamouzelos dislocated his elbow. Ouch! The Knights ended up winning 30-4 at a soaked Lang Park during Magic Round. Later on, the Warriors and Cowboys faced off, and the Tigers and Dragons closed out all the action on Saturday.

Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse for the Rabbitohs, Mamouzelos had to be helped off the field with his dislocated elbow as the full-time siren sounded. Poor dude got in the way of a rampaging player and ended up with a wonky elbow joint. Not a great way to end the day, especially with how the Rabbitohs have been struggling with injuries this season. Gray and Mamouzelos now join a long list of injured players on the team. At least they’ll have Latrell Mitchell back from suspension next week, so that’s something to look forward to.
Kalyn Ponga had a killer game for the Knights, earning himself an early mark in the last few minutes. The rain was coming down hard, causing both teams to fumble all over the place. Bayleigh Bentley-Hape couldn’t handle a bomb, and Bradman Best’s offload went way off target. Looks like the weather was making things extra challenging for everyone on the field.
The Knights got a bit greedy, breaking down the right but failing to capitalize on the opportunity. Bradman Best almost scored but ended up knocking on as he tried to get an offload away. Tough break, but that’s the way the game goes sometimes.
Souths finally managed to get on the board, with Bud Sullivan kicking wide to Campbell Graham, who set up Isaiah Tass for the try. It was a small victory in an otherwise tough game for the Rabbitohs.
Fletcher Sharpe had a killer game, scoring a hat-trick on his birthday. Kalyn Ponga and Bradman Best set up the opportunity, and Sharpe made the most of it, scoring under the posts. Talk about a birthday to remember!
Jye Gray had to be forced off the field after injuring his thigh. Hopefully, he can shake it off because the Rabbitohs can’t afford any more injuries. The game was starting to look rough for Souths, but they were doing their best to push through.
The rain made things even more challenging for both teams, with the pitch starting to show the effects of three games in two nights. The Knights were struggling to maintain their momentum, but they were determined to hold on to their lead.
All in all, it was a tough game for the Rabbitohs, but the Knights managed to come out on top. The rain, injuries, and slippery conditions made for an intense match. It’ll be interesting to see how both teams bounce back from this game in the coming weeks.
