Warriors

Cameron Murray and Latrell Mitchell led South Sydney to an emphatic 48-10 defeat of the Warriors on Saturday that keeps the Rabbitohs top four hopes alive.

We are in a tough situation because we are living out of a suitcase and we have got four weeks to go, and we need to show a lot more that what we showed tonight," - Warriors interim coach Stacey Jones. I said to the boys before the game that at this time of the year it becomes about levels. Teams step up a level and other teams fall out the back door so it is up to us every week to step up our levels and make sure that when we get to finals we are playing the footy we know we are capable of," - Rabbitohs coach Jason Demetriou. "We have got some big games and we have got some aspirations about how we want to finish the season. "I just said [to the players] that next week starts now for us. "I just want to see some real care in the jersey.

The Rabbitohs effectively put the contest to bed when they scored six tries to one in the first half.

Edward Kosi hit back for the away side in their first and only real opportunity of the opening half, but Jai Arrow then found an offload through three tacklers for Mitchell to crash over. Perhaps the pick of his contributions was the sliced cut-out pass that found Izaac Thompson on debut to score his first NRL try and the Rabbitohs' seventh of the afternoon. Mitchell kicked all eight conversions, adding two tries and two try assists to go with two line assists and two linebreaks.

The Auckland side have fallen to a fourth straight defeat in the NRL.

The term "rent free" has been tossed back and forth between the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors, with both sides feeling as if the other thinks ...

That said, both sides acknowledge that their best battles are yet to come, with Morant also telling Rooks, "Even after we lost in the series, I told them 'I feel like it's time for y'all to get another ring.' You know... With Golden State winning in six games, and then going on to win the championship, the petty back and forth was seemingly over; however, it has somehow continued into August. As you see after they won a championship, everything was Grizzlies. Playing 'Whoop That Trick' on they parade, showing it in the club, talking about Jaren, this and that."
