MATCH CENTRE: RABBITOHS v RAIDERS
9.37pm - Reynolds hurt in Rabbitohs romp
THE Rabbitohs ease to a 32-2 win but there was a concern over halfback Adam Reynolds, who left the game in the last 10 minutes and was seen icing his left foot in the dressing room.
Early reports suggested Reynolds had suffered an ankle injury.
Ben Te'o was forced from the field late in the first half with a corked shin, but returned in the second half.

9.28pm - Walker scores, Te'o back on the park
LEAD is out to 32-2 in favour of the Rabbitohs as Dylan Walker continues his impressive scoring run.
Ben Te'o is also back on the field for the Bunnies after limping off late in the first half with a corked shin.
Into the last ten minutes now.

9.21pm - Luke puts Goodwin over
SMART work from Issac Luke out of dummy half allows Bryson Goodwin to cross untouched in the corner.
Adam Reynolds can't convert.
26-2 Souths with 15 to go.

9.14pm - Merritt puts Origin nightmare behind him
NATHAN Merritt, who has come under heavy criticism this week for his ordinary Origin debut, has done what he does best: scored in the corner to extend Souths' lead.
Greg Inglis, the man who terrorised him most on Wednesday night, was among the first to congratulate his Bunnies teammate.
Souths' lead is out to 22-2 with 20 minutes to go.

8.58pm - Wighton out for the game, Te'o unlikely to return
RAIDERS centre Jack Wighton will not return after picking up a groin injury.
Better news than first feared regarding Ben Te'o. He has suffered a corked shin but still appears unlikely to return.

SOUTHS romped to a 16-2 halftime lead through tries to Sam Burgess, Justin Hunt and Issac Luke, but in worrying news for both the Bunnies and Queensland, Ben Te'o limped from the field shortly before the break.
Te'o has suffered a lower leg injury. We'll keep you updated.
