South Sydney\u2019s impressive 48-6 win.<\/a><\/p>\nTo open the presser up, Fox League\u2019s Lara Pitt asked Bennett what he made of the performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cReally good,\u201d Bennett responded.<\/p>\n
When Pitt asked what the mindset among the playing group was in trying to break the Melbourne drought, Bennett was abrupt again. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou better ask Cam (Murray) that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Latrell Mitchell won the player of the match medal after another sensational performance but back rower Tallis Duncan mounted a strong case with a hat-trick. <\/p>\n
A reporter asked the Souths coach whether Duncan would handle a potential State of Origin call up and whether he\u2019s made for the Origin arena.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a Queenslander, mate, I\u2019ve got no opinion on New South Wales \u2026 You want to write that you go for your life, I\u2019m happy for you,\u201d Bennett responded.<\/p>\n
Souths have now scored at least 32 points in their past four games. They\u2019ll likely end the round third in the comp for points scored.<\/p>\n
Given she didn\u2019t get the answers she wanted from Bennett, Pitt asked Murray about the Bunnies\u2019 flourishing attack. <\/p>\n

\u201cCam, this team looks like they\u2019re playing kind of footy that they were back in 2021 when the guy next to you (Bennett) was here (in his first stint). He doesn\u2019t want to talk about it, so can you talk to us about the kind of attacking footy that they\u2019re putting on right now and how confident you are that this team can do well again this year,\u201d Pitt asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cI guess we\u2019re building nicely. I don\u2019t really want to pat ourselves on the back too much,\u201d Murray responded.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s still early in the season and so we\u2019ve probably strung together two good, consistent games, but it\u2019s a long season and you can\u2019t be singing your own praises too early. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s too hard a game to fall asleep and not recognise that every time you turn up in this jersey, you have to pay the price and so we\u2019re building nicely I\u2019ll say that.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Rabbitohs\u2019 next assignment will come against Newcastle next Sunday afternoon. <\/p>\n
