Souths beat Eels to go three clear South Sydney halfback Adam Reynolds displayed another string to his already impressive bow, but Parramatta coach Ricky Stuart fumed after the NRL ladder-leading Rabbitohs beat the last-placed Eels 30-10. Halves Reynolds and John Sutton starred, as South Sydney moved three points clear at the top of the NRL ladder with the victory at ANZ Stadium on Sunday. The Rabbitohs trailed 4-0 early on, but scored the next 18 points to take control of the game. Strapping five-eighth Sutton stood in a tackle to set up a try and scored one himself in a commanding performance while Reynolds scored one try and set up two more with kicks, finishing with 14 points. Renowned for his smart distribution and precise kicking, Reynolds ran to the line more than he has in the past and revealed it was something he had been working on. "I've been working really hard at it at training and I'm just trying to pick the right time to run," Reynolds told AAP. I'm just trying to look on improving my game as a whole. Winger Ken Sio scored two tries for Parramatta, the second of which was a 90-metre intercept effort, after a pass from Reynolds deflected into his hands. Eels coach Ricky Stuart labelled the 13-6 penalty count against his side a disgrace and was adamant opposing sides weren't being penalised for the same actions that his team were. "To keep my job I don't communicate with (referees' boss) Daniel Anderson because I don't agree with what he's doing," Stuart said. I know a lot of other coaches, or most, are the same in regards to my thoughts. But he couldn't complain about Souths being the better team, conceding the Rabbitohs had dominated most of the rain-lashed game. Souths coach Michael Maguire praised his team for their professionalism in the trying conditions and for coping without their four State of Origin representatives and the suspended George Burgess. "It has been a credit to all those younger guys who have come into the squad and worked extremely hard to try and take their opportunities," Maguire said. They are doing that so I'm giving myself some (selection) headaches into the back end of the season. Among those younger players was big forward Tom Burgess, the last of the four Burgess siblings to break into first grade. "I thought Thomas did really well today," said Sam Burgess, the best known and most accomplished of the quartet. He's been working hard for the last six months coming through the grades and he's a credit to himself.
