The South Sydney Rabbitohs have announced their Harold Matthews (under 16s) and SG Ball (under 18s) teams to take on the St George Dragons this Saturday at Jubilee Oval.
The two sides will be looking to bounce back from their respective Round 5 showings against the Newcastle Knights this week against the Dragons. Despite both going into the half-time break leading their much fancied opponents, the men in Red and Green were unable to hold on, with the SG Ball eventually going down 42-22, while the Harold Matthews Cup side went down 20-14.
While disappointed with the loss, SG Ball Coach Matt King believes that his side will learn plenty from the game.
“We came up against a really good team and it proved to be a great learning curve for us,” said King.
“Irrespective of the score-line, it’s really only a bad game if we don’t learn something from it, and I think that we’ll definitely take plenty out of that game.
“Individually we need to improve, but also as a team there’s obviously plenty that we can work on to fine tune things moving forward.
“It’s all about next week against the Dragons now.”
