NRL LIVE: Rabbitohs back in control after Eels’ second-half fightback

It’s been a big few minutes for Edward Kosi, who now snaps up an intercept from well inside his own half and charges upfield. For a winger, the 115kg Kosi possesses more power than pace, so he’s chased down by the time he reaches the Eels’ 30 metres.

But the Rabbitohs make use of this momentum, sending it right to Tallis Duncan who slices through himself after setting up Kosi a few moments earlier. Duncan has been arguably the Rabbitohs’ best tonight, as a second-rower shifting into the centres.

And now there’s some drama with the bunker taking a look at a possible eight-point try. Eels centre Sean Russell, while attempting a try-saving tackle on Duncan, strikes Duncan’s face with his boot, so he’s on report and the Rabbitohs will get a couple of shots at goal here. That looks accidental so he might not have a case to answer with the match review committee.

In any case, Latrell Siegwalt misses his first shot at goal badly so it’s only going to be a six-point try after all.

Rabbitohs 22, Eels 12 with 26 minutes left
