Southern Districts v Penrith
After running last year’s Grand Finallists close for much of the match, Penrith will take heart from a performance that saw them score two tries through Leo Burgess and David Reopoama before going down 32-12 at home to Souths. The Emus’ defence stood up well for much of the match, until two late tries put the game beyond doubt. Still searching for their first win of the season, Penrith remain 12th overall while undefeated Souths sit second, just one point off the pace.
