NRL Saturday live: Latrell Mitchell on report twice as South Sydney Rabbitohs torn apart by Warriors

The Warriors finish with remarkable commitment to hold up Tevita Tatola and Cody Walker over the line in the final minute, refusing to relent despite the 30-point advantage.

“The boys dug deep and to keep them to four points, it’s a credit to all the boys,” Addin Fonua-Blake tells ABC Sport.

For as good as the Warriors were, that’s another shocking day for the South Sydney Rabbitohs, who looked woeful in attack and it cost them dearly.

They kept giving the ball back to the Warriors, forcing themselves to do a mountain of defence and it eventually told, with the middle looking flimsy for the last 50 minutes of the game.

Latrell Mitchell went on report twice in the first half — for an elbow bumper on Shaun Johnson and a lifting tackle on Tohu Harris — and looks almost certain to miss at least a match.

Halves Cody Walker and Dean Hawkins had poor outings and the man who started the season in the Souths seven, Lachlan Ilias, broke his leg on the last play of the NSW Cup curtain raiser.

The Rabbitohs are now officially last on the ladder, with one win from five games, and the worst point differential in the league (-90).
