It's taken Souths some 15 seasons, but the Rabbitohs have finally got revenge on the Warriors for the darkest moment in their proud, long history. Back on June 25, 2006, Souths were humbled by the Warriors 66-0 at home - the biggest loss the club has known. I was at ANZ Stadium that day and the feeling in Souths' sheds after the game was a combination of embarrassment, hopelessness and shame. But on Saturday, the Rabbitohs turned the tables on the Warriors, producing a sparkling 60-22 win. It was only the fourth time Souths have reached the 60-point mark since they were founded in 1908 and long-time Souths fans who remember THAT game back in 2006 would have been well satisfied with the result. Souths played some sparkling football to totally outclass the hapless Warriors, who have had a tough time of it away from home for so long and appear to have lost their spirit.
