MITCHELL LEADS RABBITOHS IN EELS’ WHITEWASH
PARRAMATTA EELS 0 SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS 26
TOM SMITH
LATRELL Mitchell inspired South Sydney to another crucial win, holding top-eight rivals Parramatta to nil on their home turf.
Braces to standoff Cody Walker and winger Alex Johnston — who both crossed either side of half-time — steered the Rabbitohs to the five-triesto-nil shut-out, which allows them to leapfrog (or bunnyhop) the Eels on the ladder.
Mitchell produced another dominant display at the back, troubling the Parra defenders with nearly every kickreturn.
He ultimately tallied 211 run metres, three line breaks, ten tackle busts, two offloads and a trademark try-assist to Johnston.
