NRL 2011: Round 21 St. George-Illawarra Dragons v South Sydney Rabbitohs

A forgotten classic - the Dragons get out to a 20-0 lead in the first half at Wollongong in what looks like another sad trip down the F6 for South Sydney.

With the Dragons running riot in their Steelers red alternate strip, it's only the steely resolve of the Rabbitohs that can make this match a classic with a belter of a climax.
