South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Sydney Roosters - Round 27, 2026
The result
Rabbitohs ran away with it, beating Roosters 50 to 20 at Allianz Stadium and leading 20 to 4 at halftime. David Fifita opened the scoring in the 6th minute and Souths never looked back.
How it unfolded
Souths dominated the ball, making 85 percent completion rate to the Roosters' 61 percent, and backed it up with 1763 run metres to the Roosters' 1082. Roosters made more tackles, 360 to the Rabbitohs' 230, but that just reflected how much defending they were doing.
Against projection
Taylor Losalu beat his projection of 14 by 32, finishing with 46, while Aston Warwick scored 44 against a projected 16, 28 above it after coming off the bench. At the other end, Keaon Koloamatangi managed just 24 against a projection of 57, missing by 33, and Spencer Leniu lasted only 31 minutes for 10 points, 23 under his own projected mark.
Price moves
Jayden Sullivan rose $55,000 after scoring 48 against a break even of minus 1, and Salesi Foketi rose $38,000 off a return of 54 against a break even of 20. Latrell Mitchell fell $48,000 despite his 75 points, well short of a break even of 118, while Daniel Tupou dropped $29,000 after scoring 19 against a break even of 43.
Ownership outcome
Cody Walker only came off the bench but still put up 43 points with a try and two assists, the kind of return that would have landed well for anyone holding him. Connor Watson matched his 41 points for the Roosters, while Benaiah Ioelu's 48 points off a projection of 33 stands out as the sort of score a lightly owned player uses to make up ground.
