You'll find a nice photo gallery of the game and players here. Although the Tigers won 30-26, Rabbitohs Coach Jason Taylor was pleased with his team, saying "It was a superb day all around." You'll find a full review of the game at the Rabbitohs official website. A list of scheduled game dates is also at the site.
The Rabbitohs have the first sell-out of rugby league for 2009! A crowd of 5000 will view the Rabbitohs "members only" match against Wests Tigers on February 8th.

Souths chief executive Shane Richardson said the club could have sold out the ground twice over, with the final 300 tickets unwanted by Tigers members snapped up last week.
"We could have got 8,000 or 10,000 if we'd wanted to but we only had 5,000 to do it without putting in temporary grandstands,'' Richardson said. "It's a very positive start to the season and there's lots of people looking forward to returning to Redfern.
"Every fan there is going to be a ticketed member - it's a first in rugby league. We sold out our half of the tickets a month and a half ago, the last ones were just the extra 300 we got back from the Tigers.''
