Dangerous Doueihi helps Seibold secure first win in charge

ROOKIE halfback Adam Doueihi has guided South Sydney to its first win of the NRL season with a 34-6 upset of Manly in the wet at ANZ Stadium.

In just his second game of first grade, the 19-year-old played a deft hand in difficult conditions to ignite his side’s season.

Before yesterday, the Rab- bitohs had won just five of 20 games missing Adam Reynolds, however the Lebanon international put on a classy display to guide his side around the park.

The Souths wingers dined out with Robert Jennings — who had his best game in first grade — grabbing a hat-trick and Richard Kennar crossing for a double.

The Sea Eagles came back to earth with a thud following their 54-0 defeat of Parramatta just six days earlier as they failed to adapt to the conditions and continually turned over the ball while on the attack.

Daly Cherry-Evans had a night to forget, summed up when he had a goaline grubber scooped up by Alex Johnston who ran 100 metres. Mean- while his opposite number Doueihi stood out as the Bunnies celebrated coach Anthony Seibold’s first win.

Doueihi gave Seibold food for thought about what to do with him when Reynolds returns from a knee injury as early as next week.

Sam Burgess was also inspirational for the Rabbitohs, who led 14-0 at halftime. SOUTH SYDNEY Tries: Goals: MANLY Tries: Goals:
