Rabbitohs rumours, signings, injuries etc

[DynamicRabbit1]

Mate I'm not denying his skill.

He's in his tenth season as a pro footballer and he's been either stood down or sacked 4 times and released from the Broncos under rumours of similar issues.

On top of that, I don't think he fits what we need as a fullback.

In his last 3 seasons of NRL, he was only averaging 70-odd metres run per game.

With our big, not always super mobile forward pack we need our back three to make big metres off kick returns/early tackles coming out of our own end.

One of our back three is AJ, who already struggles a bit in that regard. If we add another lightweight who struggles to make metres, it'll serious hurt us

Check out how explosive he is currently for St Helens he is on his game and focused

 

[callmack1]

Just on the potential Papalii signing, I think he is more of what we need rather than Angus.

Agreed, he's more of that powerful, aggressive, Te'o like player we've been missing since 2014.

I've been watching him mate. Again, in his role he's world class on the field.

I just don't think he'd be a good fit for us on or off the field.

Each to their own though mate. I won't try to force you to agree with me. Just thought I'd add my two cents

Totally agree

 

[Mixo Joe]

Can't say I do mate.

Check it out Toady you'd find it quite interesting!

I agree. Whilst barba is a world class player, I like what we are building at Souths. I don’t think he’ll fit in. I hope he returns to the NRL in some way though. Is an absolute treat to watch play.

Dylan Walker may be interested in coming back to Souths for 2019 and Manly would let him go with their salary cap drama'

For the right price I'd love him back.

Also @callmack1 it seems the Warriors are keeping an eye on Hiroti and may make a play for him.

Thanks for info.

Where'd you hear that man? It doesn't really surprise me but I really hope we can hold onto Hiroti.

Walker is a Souths junior and talented but with our current backline/squad where would he fit in?
Not sure Hiroti would have any better chance over there if playing regular NRL

I love walker I really do but I don’t see GI returning to fullback anytime soon. Unless Gagai is okay with shifting to the wing I can’t see why we need him.

We need some second rowers more than anything. Sutton and Crichton are both leaving a fat hole in our edges.

 

[southsport]

I didn't want Walker to leave at the time but I'll pass on him now for reasons outlined by other posters.

 

[Travitoh]

Everyone is assuming GI plays on next year

Only from NRL whispers.

Just rumours at this point but thought I'd mention them.

Well there doesn't seem to be much doing with second rowers.

I don't really want Sam moving there and I think STID you are seeing why it's best Sam is in the middle. He occasionally runs a bit wider which is great too.

Apart from Fui and Turner there isn't much to speak of.

We really need to get a key back rower to play alongside Turner or Fui in our back row.

Souths are looking to lock down Doueihi for the next couple of seasons.

In that same article that you pulled up with Doueihi, Fox sports was mentioning that Ethan Lowe has an option to extend for 2019 at the cowboys. I wonder if we could persuade him to drop that and come to Souths. I always thought he was a very underrated player.

Facebook rumours.

Once it came out that Walker got some illegal payments from Manly, the bullshit artists "just happened" to get "inside word" that he was heading back to Souths

People making shit up to get attention

 

[Rabbit toes]

Koroisau looks likely to resign with Manly.

Yea cheers mate, I love to hear any rumour, no matter where it comes from.

Great news indeed and let's hope we can get it done.

Gee that's interesting and what a merry-go-round that'd be. Has a player swap like that ever happened?

Look, I'd like to get rid of Farah as I've said for a long time now that he is surplus to requirements but if he does go and Cook gets injured, what happens then? That's my only issue with it.
