BROCK BOWER FOUND DEAD IN TRAGIC TURN OF EVENTS
: In a shocking and heartbreaking turn of events, Brock Bower, the well-known and beloved public figure, has passed away. The cause of death is still unknown, but authorities are investigating the situation.
This news comes as a devastating blow to the many fans and admirers of Bower, who had come to know him as a charismatic and talented individual with a bright future ahead of him.
Zac Lomax celebrates a two-point field goal during the round 10 NRL match between the St George Illawarra Dragons and the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
With the result, the Rabbitohs became the first team in league history to concede 28 points in nine matches.
In the first half, Mitchell tried to usher a ball dead while under pressure from Kyle Flanagan.
Mitchell tried to kick it out, missing twice, before he eventually grounded the ball for a dropout.
“What are you doing?,” commentator Andrew Voss said on Mitchell’s efforts on Fox League.
“If they’ve saved it, it is the ugliest save in forcing the ball I’ve ever seen.”

Later, in an unwanted moment of déjà vu, Mitchell again failed to put the ball dead.
After swinging and missing in an attempt to ground the ball, Jack De Belin swooped in to score.
Voss says Mitchell was “not switched on”.
“Just force it … you don’t need to bat the ball dead,” he said.

Lomax opened the scoring for the Dragons in the ninth minute when he got on the end of a grubber in behind from Ben Hunt.
In response, Mitchell scored in his return from his three-week suspension — pouncing on a grubber from milestone man Cody Walker.
The Dragons were in again through Jack Bird on the right edge.
Walker thought he had scored with a minute left in the half before the Bunker deemed that the ball was knocked on by Jai Arrow in the lead-up.
Lomax slotted a handy two-point field goal on the verge of half-time to give the Dragons a 12-6 lead at the main break.

In the second half, Lomax then added a penalty kick after Walker was penalised for an escort during a Dragons kick chase.
Rabbitohs centre Izaac Tu’itupou Thompson scored in an impressive put-down — grounding the ball one-handed in the right corner while the rest of his body hovered out of bounds.
Jaydn Su’A extended the Dragons’ lead before Lomax added another penalty goal after the Rabbitohs were disciplined for talking back to Belinda Sharpe.
Mitchell finished the match with a double but it did little to help as South Sydney recorded their fifth-straight loss.
