Their wins this season have been by an average of 27 points – their losses by an average of 19. <\/p>\n – Souths led 30-0 after 72 minutes. <\/p>\n – Souths completed over 90 percent of their sets (39\/43) – their best this season. <\/p>\n – Cameron McInnes was placed on report for a high tackle in the 16th minute – He has no charges in the past 12 months. <\/p>\n – Jesse Colquhoun was placed on report late in the first half for a late and high tackle. One unrelated hip drop charge in the past 12 months. <\/p>\n – Thomas Hazelton was placed on report for a high tackle in the 50th minute – has just one unrelated hip drop charge in the past 12 months. <\/p>\n – Blayke Brailey left the field late in the game after a collision with Cameron Murray when the latter was scoring his try. It was ruled to be category one – and he will be required to miss the Sharks magic round clash with the Bulldogs pending any appeal by the Sharks. This would end his 139 game streak without missing one. <\/p>\n – Campbell Graham celebrated his 150th game with his 70th try.<\/p>\n Fox Lab POTM – Alex Johnston grabbed multiple tries in a match for the 61st time – 11 more than the next best player Ken Irvine. His 17th hat-trick, overtakes Frank Burge and Ken Irvine for the most 3+ games ever. First Rabbitoh since Benny Wearing (1922-23) to score in nine straight games. 100 tries at Accor – first player to score 100 tries at any venue. He had a hand in another try, ran for 156 metres, made five linebeaks and busted seven tackles. <\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/content.foxsports.com.au\/fs\/electrode\/poster-fallback.png\"\/)
