Souths still in finals race

last Sunday that cost his team a shot at victory, Parramatta winger Luke Burt made no mistake with his conversion from wide out to get his side back in the contest at 12-6.
But a Sandow penalty goal an Issac Luke try in the space of a minute ended any hope an Eels fight back.
Rabbitohs back-rower David Taylor made a strong return in his first game in a month after a broken collarbone and he put the gloss on a dominant second half for the home side when he scored the match-sealer with 11 minutes left.
Taylor chased through a towering Sandow bomb and after Eels full-back Jarryd Hayne caught the ball, the Queensland back-rower stole it from Hayn'es grasp to score under the posts.
The Eels did manage to grab the last two tries of the night through Krisnan Inu and Feleti Mateo but it was too little too late to save the match or their season.
