Craig HillThe Rabbitohs make it four in a row

The words 'high-flying' and 'Rabbitohs' would have made no sense together just two months ago but the Redfern-based club are just that at the moment after securing four wins in a row - all nail-biting come-from-behind stuff - with a 34-30 victory over the Bulldogs in an away game at ANZ Stadium.
In the past four games, The Rabbitohs have completed big comebacks to win against the Warriors, Titans, Cowboys and the Bulldogs meaning that the club has collected 10 points (including the bye) in five weeks.
The Rabbitohs looked down and out with the Bulldogs leading at 24-6 but a blazing comeback saw them level the scores at 30-all in the 74th minute. Rookie fullback Luke Capewell then stole the limelight by scoring in the 87th minute to seal the win in golden point extra time.
Coach Jason Taylor was understandably delighted with his team's effort despite admitting that he wasn't if his team could make a miracle comeback yet again.
"At 24-6 I wasn't sure we could do it two weeks in a row," Taylor said.
"Craig Wing was inspirational in the way he sparked us out there tonight. It was special to watch."
In a sign that his heart could take no more of such suspense, Taylor said his team needs to start playing 80 minutes of football rather than relying on playing catch-up.
"We were poor in the first half. They were desperate to stop their losing streak, but we got it going in the second half. Our job now is to learn to play from the start of the game. That's the challenge for us," Taylor said.
