Coming off a solid win against the Gold Coast Titans previously, the Rabbitohs carried that momentum straight onto their home turf.

For the Sydney Roosters, the result marks a tough outing following their previous loss against the Dolphins, leaving them searching for answers as they look back on a difficult night at the office where their defence simply could not contain the rampant Rabbitohs attack.
