I think it’s fair to say the Rabbitohs are officially in crisis after three losses from three games to start the year. And an absolute humiliation at the hands of their greatest rivals. Ouch.

Latrell Mitchell sent to the sin-bin for a professional foul. It couldn’t really get much worse.

And what do you say about Jason Demetriou? If the coach wasn’t already feeling the heat,the next week will be an altogether different experience.

Just where do the pride of the league go from here?

Roosters 48 Rabbitohs 6

He waited a long time for his first,he’s not waiting long for his second.

This is just sheer want and determination as Angus Crichton pops an offload to Brandon Smith,who rifles a pass for the Roosters captain coming back on an angle near the posts and he manages to squeeze between Jacob Host,Cameron Murray and Cody Walker to score right under the black dot.

Joseph Suaalii has the simplest conversion.

Can they get 50 with only two minutes left?

By the way,37,594 at Allianz Stadium tonight. And maybe not a single Rabbitohs supporter left.

Roosters 48 Rabbitohs 6

He’s back on for the last five minutes.

Serious question:if you’re Jason Demetriou,why would you put him back out there? There’s only a risk of injury or Latrell losing his head again. I don’t know if I would have done that.

Anyway,let’s see what the final passages of this game have for us.

Who’s about the only person not to score tonight? James Tedesco. Yeah,he was always going to change that.

With his rival fullback sitting in the sin-bin,the Australian and NSW captain is on the scoresheet as the Roosters strip the Rabbitohs for numbers down the right. Dom Young kicks back infield for his No.1,who toes it ahead himself and just manages to plant the ball down before the dead ball line.

Super stuff.

Can we officially call this a bloodbath now?

Joseph Suaalii maintains the Roosters’ kickers perfect record tonight with the conversion.

Look away now Rabbitohs fans. The only positive is there’s just six minutes left.

Roosters 42 Rabbitohs 6

It just had to be,didn’t it?

It took all of 30 seconds after Latrell Mitchell left the field and the Rabbitohs were down to 12 men for the Roosters to capitalise.

This time it’s Joseph Manu getting his second try of the second half after some slick hands to the right. It’s just all too easy at the moment. Sandon Smith and Nat Butcher shovelled the ball quickly along the backline and Manu strolled over unimpeded.

Joseph Suaalii’s conversion attempt is good from near the touchline.

The pain for the Bunnies. Oh,the pain. And we’ve still got more than 13 minutes left.

Roosters 36 Rabbitohs 6

Latrell Mitchell has been sent to the sin-bin for foul play on James Tedesco. Wow.

He tries to shepherd a ball dead as Tedesco puts pressure on him. He’s grappling,gives him a little push and as the ball finally bounces out of play,with Tedesco sprawled on his back,Mitchell stamps on him and then drops a knee into his head. I can’t tell if there was any malice or intent in that all. It just looked like he was a little off balance. It had ro be accidental.

But the bunker has had a look at it and the Rabbitohs champion has been sent to the sin-bin for a professional foul in pushing Tedesco. Don’t the Roosters crowd love that?

It’s just going from bad to worse for South Sydney.

That’s probably the biggest damage thee Rabbitohs have inflicted on the Roosters tonight,with Brandon Smith sporting a nasty gash across his face. Almost his entire face is smeared in blood. He sees himself on the big screen. Guess what he does? Smiles. Why wouldn’t he when the scoreboard is next to his ugly mug?

They’ve patched him up and on he goes. He wouldn’t miss the rest of this for quids.
