NRL 2020 semi-final: Rabbitohs overrun Eels - as it happened

Summary

A tense final that ebbed and flowed ended the way of the Rabbitohs after a decisive second-half burst. They go through to take on the Panthers next weekend for a right to appear in the 2020 NRL grand final.

Defeat was tough on Parramatta, who endured a horrendous build-up to the match, and started awfully, but battled back to lead at half-time courtesy of the omnipresent Gutherson. South Sydney came back strongly after the interval and scored a crucial early try, followed up ten minutes later to secure a narrow lead. That set the scene for the game’s decisive moment. On the hour mark Moses smashed a simple penalty against the post and after Souths gathered the looses ball they went down the other end to cross for a game-breaking four points.

The Eels seemed spooked by the eight-point margin and that led to handling errors in possession and gaps in defence. Two further Rabbitohs tries were the result, putting gloss on a result that was in the balance for most of the night.

The Rabbitohs were not at their scintillating best but still racked up 38 points in a final. Cook was outstanding in attack and defence, and Reynolds was sharp, but it was a solid allround team effort on the night that got them through. Gutherson and Paulo excelled for the Eels who made light of the absence of three of their preferred outside backs.

Thanks for joining me tonight. Let’s do this all again next week with a couple of titanic preliminary finals.

Parramatta Eels 24-38 South Sydney Rabbitohs

The Bunnies did it the hard way but they progress to a mouthwatering preliminary final with Penrith. The Eels did not disgrace themselves but have to accept a straight-sets exit.

TRY! Eels 24-38 Rabbitohs (Cook 79)

The most decisive attacking force of the night puts the game to bed for the Bunnies. Moses chips and chases from in his own half, Cook takes possession on halfway, surveys the scene, spots a channel on the right edge, that he darts through, then he sprints into open field, then he wrong-foots Gutherson charging across from fullback. Superb individual try from a player in supreme form.

TRY! Eels 24-32 Rabbitohs (Jennings 75)

Parramatta are desperate, perhaps too desperate, but they somehow keep the ball alive and ride their luck with a series of set restarts to enjoy a full set 15m from the line. They only need one invitation, Brown sending his troops right, then the ball comes back left through the offload machine Paulo, and out to Jennings with the overlap. He touches down in the corner and Moses smashes a super touchline conversion.

TRY! Eels 18-32 Rabbitohs (Paulo 70)

Souths cough up the bonus set cheaply. Can Parramatta take advantage? No, no they cannot. From midfield on halfway the Eels throw the ball wide to the left, but it’s slow and readable, and Paulo does exactly that, timing his attack perfectly to intercept Brown’s floaty cutout and waltz home unopposed.

This has been a heck of a turnaround in the second half.

Updated

69 mins: So close from South Sydney! Cook again orchestrates the right play from dummy half, this time sending his side down the short side the right where the ball flows through hands to the outside, then back in, for Allan to charge to the line, but he’s just tackled short with the fullback wise not to attempt a double movement touchdown. Cook then dribbles dangerously forcing a line drop-out.

68 mins: The Eels are showing an urgency bordering on panic. They have plenty of time left, but they need to establish field position.

66 mins: Close but no cigar from Souths. Cook has orchestrated play from hooker and after guiding a series of assaults from his forwards he heads left but Gagai and Johnston can’t combine for the score under the attention of fierce Parramatta defence.

64 mins: Parra try the short kick-off but it doesn’t work and Souths get a scrum on halfway. That’s quickly followed by another indiscretion and Reynolds kicks them 30m from the line.

TRY! Eels 18-26 Rabbitohs (Sironen 62)

Errors from both sides lead to a couple of cheap turnovers in midfield, the outcome of which is good field position for the Eels. Matterson gets the crowd interested with a tackle burst, then Brown darts towards the line before being scragged, and after the kick the ball returns for another set for the blue and gold. From there the tempo raises a notch again with Gutherson eager to get Paulo into the game, and it works a treat with the giant earning a penalty 20m out.

Parramatta elect to kick the two points, and it should be a formality, but Moses smashes the post! And the ball lands in favour of Souths who gather and dash 60m! Oh my. And four tackles later the referee is signalling a try! What a turnaround.

Cook on the last tackle dabs a kick in-goal from the ruck and Gutherson swoops in to collect, but instead of touching down he tries to pick up and run, loses the ball in contact with the chasing Rabbitoh and his spillage lands in Sironen’s hands.

Reynolds doesn’t miss the conversion.

Hug huge turnaround in this contest. Scores should be level, but two massive Parramatta blunders mean the Bunnies lead by eight.

Updated

57 mins: It’s all going South Sydney’s way now. Approaching halfway deep in the set they earn a restart which allows them to probe on the edges of Parramatta’s defence in dangerous territory. It’s Walker’s turn to strut his stuff this time and he looks to have carved an opening on the left wing but he’s harshly called for a forward pass in contact.

TRY! Eels 18-20 Rabbitohs (Murray 55)

Adam Reynolds, take a bow. Souths grind their way to the halfway line but instead of playing conservatively Reynolds slows the game down, throws the dummy to his right, then darts through the gap. Line broken he offloads in the tackle on his outside to Graham who draws the last defender and passes inside to Murray who finishes the move.

Down by ten at the break, Reynolds kicks the conversion to put the Bunnies in the lead!

Updated

54 mins: Early kick from Reynolds forcing Gutherson to accept fierce contact from four chasing Rabbitohs - and he loses the ball! But it was stripped and it’s a penalty against the Rabbitohs. The Eels kick to good field position and lay siege to South Sydney’s line. Paulo in particular is a menace in these situations with his unerring ability to offload in traffic. It takes some excellent coverage from Johnston coming in off his left wing to snuff out the danger.

52 mins: Here they come again Parramatta, and it’s that man Gutherson again, turning a dangerous bouncing kick return into a 40m run before offloading to Jennings to eat up more metres. Taikarangi then takes up the charge with the Eels continuing their work down the left wing. Eventually they cycle the ball to the opposite flank but Souths defend well and force an error.

50 mins: That was a crucial score for South Sydney and goes to show how dangerous they can be when they build up a head of steam. Parramatta need to hold firm for a passage and they do just that with a solid set defensively before making excellent ground in attack.

TRY! Eels 18-14 Rabbitohs (Knight 47)

The Rabbitohs are building a head of steam with repeat sets but the Eels continue to defend stoutly. Koloamatangi makes Parra’s defender earn their corn with a barnstorming run, and after he’s brought down 15m from the line Cook takes advantage to snipe from the play-the-ball. His dart unsettles the defensive structure and he’s an offload away from a try-assist - and that offload arrives with Knight on the burst to crash over just to the right of the posts.

Reynolds adds the extras.

Updated

45 mins: Better from the Bunnies. ON tackle four the same pattern looked to be repeating but Reynolds took a step and fed Walker into space. He kept the ball alive down the left wing, finding Gagai, setting up a dangerous last tackle. Reynolds takes full advantage, dabbing through a wicked grubber that induces a line drop-out.

44 mins: Again - and this has been the pattern for much of the night - Souths can only reach halfway with their drive, forcing Reynolds to bomb deep. Parramatta have defended the middle well so far.

42 mins: Souths take the first set to halfway before Reynolds bombs to Gutherson. Good to see Su’A out for the Bunnies after his knee injury in the first half. Parramatta’s first hit of the half is more dangerous with a couple of half-breaks, the most threatening from Moses. Allan does well to neutralise a dangerous kick.

Here we go for the second half...

I’m drawn to that decision early on to accept two points when Souths were well on top. I wonder if they’ll rue the decision not to keep their foot on Parramatta’s throat at that stage.

Meanwhile, in the AFL, things are not going according to plan for Collingwood.

Well, I confess I did not see that coming before kick-off, nor after an opening five minutes dominated by Souths, and especially when the scoreline read Eels 0-8 Bunnies after 20 minutes. But after grinding their way back into the contest Parramatta blew South Sydney off the park in a three-try ten minute burst. Clint Gutherson was all over it, scoring twice and assisting the other, providing an irrepressible energy to the side he skippers and jolting them into action.

But it’s probably been in defence that the Eels will have most pleased Brad Arthur. They have committed a couple of errors, young Dunster in particular, but overall they have secured the middle without much fuss and covered the wings despite the Rabbitohs enjoying plenty of possession in dangerous areas.

One stat of note to add, Parra are 11/11 this season after leading at half-time.

Half-time: Eels 18-8 Rabbitohs

Rip-roaring half of finals footy, and it ends with Parramatta in the ascendancy.

39 mins: Parra are defending excellently, once again denying Souths a sniff for five tackles. On the last Cook weaves a little magic to break the line but cramped for room he kicks a tasty grubber under the posts that the Eels have covered, but almost make a mess of trying to play their way out of trouble.They settle for a line drop-out.

37 mins: Good work from South Sydney’s Paulo, claiming the kick and running it out past halfway before Gutherson wraps him up. Again Parramatta defend superbly, even the under pressure left edge where Blake and Dunster wrap up Sironen on the last tackle within inches of the line.

35 mins: Better from the Bunnies who snipe dangerously left and right but the Eels are solid in defence and Gutherson is on hand yet again to mop up the grubber and jink his way out of danger.

34 mins: Parramatta look dangerous in possession yet again, and once more it’s down the left wing, but it’s all a little frantic this time and once pass too many ends up in touch. Someone just needed to steady and accept contact.

32 mins: The Bunnies again struggle under the high ball and after making it to halfway on a solid drive Reynolds targets the debutant in the left corner - and kicks out on the full! Souths need half-time to hurry up so they can regroup.

TRY! Eels 18-8 Rabbitohs (Gutherson 29)

Oh boy, this is incredible. The Eels are on a serious tear and Gutherson is playing like a man possessed. From the scrum following Allan’s error the Eels cut left and their inspirational fullback runs a huge arc from deep behind the scrum to hit the line and serious pace allowing him to take three tacklers with him after contact over the line. The grounding is inconclusive but with the on-field call a try the attacker (deservedly) get the benefit of any doubt.

Moses curls over another gorgeous conversion.

What an amazing burst from Parramatta!

Updated

29 mins: Souths are rattled. Solid drive from Parramatta from the restart and the kick hangs long enough in the air for the chase to pressurise Allan and the fullback spills the ball on his way down from the clouds.

TRY! Eels 12-8 Rabbitohs (Jennings 26)

Parramatta are on fire! From the restart the Eels make good yardage before Lane bursts the line and looks for the offload. Who’s on his outside? Gutherson of course, and he sprints in a weaving pattern, eating up the turf and burning off chasers until he’s run down 15m from the line. He still has the strngth and composure to offload in the tackle, hurling the ball wide to Jennings to complete the move. Thrilling rugby league.

Moses makes his second conversion in a matter of minutes, this one a belter from the touchline.

Updated

TRY! Eels 6-8 Rabbitohs (Gutherson 24)

Since that scrum on halfway the Eels found another gear, running and offloading at speed, looking for runners on both shoulders. A try seemed inevitable. When it came it was trademark Parramatta with the ball shipped from left to the middle where Paulo accept contact before offloading - he is so so good at that - with Gutherson hitting the line like a steam train to skip around his man and canter over the line. Gus Gould was so impressed he just compared Paulo to Arthur Beetson. Oh my.

Updated

22 mins: The Eels get a set restart midway in their own half and it threatens to turn into something promising when Paulo executes a trademark offload, but the ball goes to ground and Parramatta have to settle for a scrum on halfway. From the back they attack at speed and again head down the left edge. Not for the first time Gutherson’s passing almost ends the move but Jennings recovers before Taikarangi does magnificently to flick a pass behind his back to set up a chip chase that ends with Souths clearing to touch.

21 mins: Bennett earlier on talking about not targeting specific positions - pfft. Every kick tonight from Reynolds has gone high to the attacking left corner where the debutant Dunster is stationed. He’s handled them well enough, along with support from Gutherson, but it is clearly a rehearsed strategy.

TRY! Eels 0-8 Rabbitohs (Paulo 18)

Excellent kick and chase from the Rabbitohs and they pummel Gutherson close to his line. From the resulting play-the-ball the Eels fumble - yikes that was ugly, Dunster I think. Centre-field scrum for Souths, which is a horrible sight for any defence. And they quickly send the ball right, play through hands, on each catch and pass drawing defenders in, until Paulo has enough space to dart around the outside and over in the corner. Excellent from the Bunnies but a classic example of the dangers that come with unfamiliar defensive combinations.

Reynolds nails a very handsome touchline conversion.

Updated

16 mins: After a delay in the hands of trainers Su’A returns gingerly to his feet to take the play-the-ball.

16 mins: Not good for Souths, Su’A is down clutching his left knee and grimacing after crumpling under a three-man tackle.

15 mins: Oooh, six more on the last tackle for the Eels with Reynolds interfering with Lane at the ruck. It’s a slow build-up from Parramatta, biding their time for the moment to snipe - and they do on tackle four, shifting it to the left, but when Gutherson hits the line at speed his short pass to Lane on his left shoulder isn’t timed and the ball hits the ground.

13 mins: That Rabbitohs attack looks threatening and makes yards through the forwards before Walker sends the ball to the right edge but Jennings steps in off his wing and his presence prompts a knock on.

11 mins: The Parramatta defence has held up so far, withstanding that early barrage and dealing with Reynolds’ kicks with aplomb. Gutherson in particular has started strongly. The Eels then enjoy their first break of the night, receiving a penalty for a high tackle that allows them to clear to halfway.

From good attacking field position the Eels step it up a gear and almost find a gap on the left edge before a Souths hand knocks on. The next drive quickly earns a set restart with the momentum and crowd noise building with every carry. Again they go left and again they look threatening but when Lane straightens to head for the line there are enough Souths defenders to hold him up. The resulting kick is probing but Gagai plucks it from the air near the posts with great skill and darts forward 40m to set up a rapid counterattacking opportunity.

9 mins: The quicksilver ball players from the Rabbitohs haven’t turned it on just yet, opting to keep things tight through the middle for the time being. Parramatta look to expand on tackle four, throwing the ball at speed through hands to the right edge but by the time the chain reaches debutant Dunster the momentum has dribbled out and Souths smother.

7 mins: Souths make excellent yardage from Gutherson’s kick-off until Paulo and Campbell-Gillard hammer Murray backwards on halfway and force Reynolds to kick from inside his own half. The Eels take no risks with only their second set of the night.

PENALTY! Eels 0-2 Rabbitohs (Reynolds 5)

Gee this is ragged from Parramatta. Another six again early in the set after the scrum for the Bunnies, then a penalty for encroaching in the ten. The game has so far been played entirely inside the Eels’ defensive 30m zone. Perhaps surprisingly, Reynolds accepts the two points.

3 mins: That was a nightmare start for Parramatta who really just wanted to get a few sets under their belt after the day and week they’ve had. They respond well in defence and survive a full set behind the scrum despite conceding a set restart early in the phase. Souths are forced to kick on the last tackle and they’re fortunate to see it ricochet back their way after an accidental offside.

1 min: It only takes two carries by the Eels after receiving the kick-off before there’s a loose carry. Scrum to Souths 25m out.

Kick-off!

Here we go, 80 minutes from a preliminary final against Penrith...

And here are the Eels, led out by Clint Gutherson and his luxurious hair. Parramatta are in blue with yellow trim. We’ll be underway shortly.

Here come the Rabbitohs, jogging out into enemy territory to a chorus of boos. The Bunnies are in their home jersey of green and red hoops, but the trim and short is white tonight to provide contrast with the Eels.

Brad Arthur is putting on his game face, telling channel nine: “In my seven years I haven’t seen the boys bounce into the sheds with more energy.” Parra fans better hope he’s not bluffing.

Not for the first time in his storied career Wayne Bennett is at the centre of something incredible. Nick Tedeschi walks us through it here:

The Rabbitohs looked dead and buried a number of times this year. They won just one of their first four games. As recently as round 11, the Bunnies were 10th with a 5-6 record. They had lost to the Broncos and had not beaten a team who would go on to finish in the top six. Two weeks out from the finals, Souths were stunned by then-last placed Canterbury. These were hardly the credentials of a premiership contender.

15,000 fans will socially distance themselves in Bankwest Stadium tonight. Conditions in western Sydney are excellent, by the way, it’s clear and dry with temperatures in the high teens. There is a slight breeze but it shouldn’t be enough to influence proceedings.

The NRL finals have been scintillating. Week one was full of highlights and storylines, and week two has begun with the Raiders and Roosters serving up one of the most incident-packed contests of modern times.

My money was on the Roosters to make it a three-peat this season, and their late season collapse has been both surprising and dramatic. It will be fascinating to see what happens now to such a powerful, but ageing, group of players.

The Raiders continue to show they are one of the great stories of the season. Despite losing talisman Josh Hodgson to injury back in July, Canberra continue to excite on a weekly basis, running in some of the most thrilling improvised tries, and in Jack Wighton they have arguably the most influential player in the competition right now.

Sydney’s exit gives the finals an unexpected look with Canberra now travelling to Brisbane to take on Melbourne, and Penrith welcoming the winner of tonight’s clash in the other prelim.

I think the crucial difference between the NRL and Super League (I’m guessing you’re from the UK Uncy) is community transmission numbers. Australia in general and NSW in particular have suppressed the spread of Covid-19 since the first wave took everyone by surprise in March. That has enabled the phased reintroduction of socially distanced crowds slowly over many weeks with confidence that any outbreaks could be quickly traced. Without that confidence, reintroducing crowds would be incredibly risky.

Over here, the situation is different just across the state border in Victoria where large gatherings remain prohibited to control a second wave. Active case numbers in the state are now below 200, but reopening is proceeding with caution.

Watching from afar, it’s hard to see the UK case numbers stabilising sufficiently to make the NRL or Australia a useful comparison. There may be a reappraisal of “Covid normal” and the inherent risks therein by authorities, but if that is the case the threshold would probably be well below that of current procedures here.

Here’s a brief news story on Michael Jennings and his failed drug test. The NRL has clarified the 32-year-old tested positive to Ligandrol (the supplement that was identified in swimmer Shayna Jack’s system) and Ibutamoren (a growth hormone).

South Sydney XVII

In contrast to the plight of his opposite number, Wayne Bennett has the luxury of naming an unchanged 17. His Rabbitohs are flying at the moment, especially as an attacking force with ball players Cody Walker, Adam Reynolds, and Damien Cook all in sparkling form. Against Parramatta’s unfamiliar combinations out wide it’s hard not to see Souths taking full advantage and racking up plenty of points. Bennett, typically, gave nothing away when asked about profiting from the Eels’ misfortune. “We’re not big on targeting players or positions, we’re just playing footy,” he said publicly. I’d hazard a guess he’s been saying something else behind closed doors.

SOUTH SYDNEY: 1. Corey Allan, 2. Alex Johnston, 3. Campbell Graham, 4. Dane Gagai, 5. Jaxon Paulo, 6. Cody Walker, 7. Adam Reynolds (c), 8. Tevita Tatola, 9. Damien Cook, 10. Thomas Burgess, 11. Jaydn Su’A 12. Bayley Sironen, 13. Cameron Murray. Interchange: 14. Mark Nicholls, 15. Liam Knight, 16. Jed Cartwright, 17. Keaon Koloamatangi

Parramatta XVII

It’s been a chaotic week at the selection table for Brad Arthur. He knew before the end of the qualifying final that he’d need to find a replacement for Maika Sivo on the left wing, and Blake Ferguson was always unlikely to pull up after suffering a knock late on against Melbourne. And then with just hours to go until kick-off Michael Jennings was hastily removed from the starting 13. The three new outside backs are George Jennings, Brad Takairangi, and Haze Dunster, the latter making his first grade debut. Elsewhere, Ray Stone replaces the suspended Marata Niukroe on the interchange.

Arthur tried to put on a brave face after being overrun by the Storm last time out, but on such a poor run of form and with carnage to his outside backs, his makeshift side is going to be up against it. “On the weekend, and they’re not excuses, but we had positional changes. We lost a winger, had back-rowers playing in the centres and then lost a back-rower to a head knock and then another winger,” he told the press. He’s hardly in a better position from the outset tonight.

In milestone news Mitch Moses celebrates his 150th NRL appearance tonight, Nathan Brown his 100th.

PARRAMATTA: 1. Clinton Gutherson 2. George Jennings 4. Waqa Blake 19. Brad Takairangi 20. Haze Dunster 6. Dylan Brown 7. Mitchell Moses 8. Reagan Campbell-Gillard 9. Reed Mahoney 10. Junior Paulo 11.

Preamble

Hello everybody and welcome to live coverage of the weekend’s second NRL semi-final. Parramatta v South Sydney is underway at Bankwest Stadium at 7.50pm.

A week is a long time in rugby league. At 8.10pm last Saturday night the Eels were 12-0 to the good and an hour away from a preliminary final, while the Rabbitohs were front page news as the bad boys of the NRL. Fast forward to today and the Bunnies are the free-scoring dark horses nobody wants to face, and Parramatta, well, the wheels appear to be falling off spectacularly. Already without their two premier outside backs, Brad Arthur was today forced to stand down Michael Jennings for failing a drug test. Here’s the club’s official statement:

The Parramatta Eels have today been made aware of the provisional suspension handed down to Michael Jennings under the NRL’s Anti-Doping Policy... Jennings has been stood down from today’s game and ongoing training/playing responsibilities while the process runs its course, which under the policy includes the opportunity to have his B-sample analysed.

It’s a sickener for Eels supporters with their side already heading into tonight’s contest as underdogs despite finishing three places and three wins better off than the Rabbitohs after the regular season. However, Parramatta have failed to convince for some time, clinching a top-four finish thanks largely to a blistering start to the campaign. They have been soundly beaten in three of their last six matches, a run that began with a 38-0 shellacking at the hands of the Bunnies. It is very hard to make a case for anything other than an ignominious straight-sets exit.

To make matters worse, the Rabbitohs are flying. A disjointed start to the season has blossomed into an imposing run home with Souths boasting arguably the most coherent attacking unit in the competition, despite - or perhaps even because of -star recruit Latrell Mitchell missing through injury. The Bunnies have racked up 106 points in two weeks during show-stopping performances against the Knights and Roosters. It wasn’t long ago that they put 56 beyond Manly and 38 past the Eels either. After winning just one of their opening four matches the Rabbitohs are now heavily favoured to reach a preliminary final.

I’ll be back in a short while with line-ups and whatnot. If you want to get in touch at any point, you can reach me on Twitter or email.

Eels, elements of the past and the future combining to make something not quite as good as either...
