Rabbitohs coach Jason Demetriou was understandably rapt with rising halfback Lachlan Ilias after his match-winning play.
« I just said to him after the game I was just proud he put his hand up and said, ‘Give me the ball’, » Demetriou told reporters.
« He’s a young half in his second year. Everyone was expecting it to go to Latrell.
« He’s hit them in the 20s before, he knows how to hit them.
« He’ll get a lot out of that, he’ll get a lot out of icing that game as a young half. »
