PANTHERS V RABBITOHS

Injuries/reports:

* No major injuries

* John Sutton did cop another hit to the face after breaking his nose last week.

* Aaron Gray suffered a cut to the head.

Talking points:

SuperCoaches who VC’d Bryce Cartwright or Sam Burgess are set to be handsomely rewarded.

* Burgess posted 99 points on the back of an inspired performance in the second half. He scored two tries, made 31 tackles and 28 points from hit-ups over eight metres.

* The CartyParty was in full swing (102 points) as the Bunnies struggled to contain him when he had the ball in hand. Cartwright orchestrated three tries, made a line break, two line break assists and five offloads.

* Cheapie of the week, Nathan Cleary(60 points) showed his pedigree as a future halves star. The youngster scored a try and made 16 points from goals.

Highlights:

* Trent Merrin is firming as even more of a priority as a final 17 player after he posted an impressive 90 points. Merrin played 80 minutes where he made 43 tackles, a tackle bust, three offloads an 36 points from hit-ups over eight metres.

* Early season cheapie Cody Walker (76 points) keeps on repaying the faith his owners have showed in him. Walker set-up a try, made four tackle busts, one linebreak and 20 points from goals.

* Greg Inglis (75points) showed glimpses of the brilliance he is capable of. He scored a try, made five tackle busts and a linebreak.

Lowlights:

* Potential POD, Tyrone Peachey had a quiet game and would have disappointed his owners with 33 points — considering he went into the match with a five-game average of 76. The only attacking stats registered were two tackle busts.

Aaron Gray was missing in action out on the edge for the Rabbitohs and finished with a low 15 points.
