Rabbitohs signings, rumours and injuries 2015-16

That sly smart arse Gould.

Why didn't he want to release him back to Souths????

What does/did Gould have against us????

maybe he got a hatred for souths when he was at easts

 

[hindyrabbit]

Doubt gould could decide where he goes after releasing him

When we were reinstated, Gould was a huge help in us putting together a team. Anyone who was any good already had a club and Gould help Piggins put together a roster for the season. I don't like the guy but I don't think he can be accused of hating us, at least not always.

Trent Barrett was assistant coach at the panthers and was going to manly, he probably did the deal with Gould.

Api is still close to Souths, he could come back.

I don't know but Tim Grant also asked for a early release and didn't get one as well. He wanted to join the club mid 2014

Any word on whether Kyle Turner will play tonight? I'm hearing he may not pass a concussion test.

I expect him to be out.

In the main NRL forum on here there is an uproar thread re Turner's welfare.

I don't think we'll know for sure until just before kick-off.

That's a complete load of rubbish.

Recruitment at Souths has always been a group effort with Madge having the over-riding and final say and that will be the case for as long as Madge is there. It's in his contract.

The only time he can be over ruled is when it comes to disciplinary issues and then the board will come into play. That is what happened with Dylan Walker.

Yeah I'd be very surprised if any NRL coach, maybe with the exception of the Panthers, would not have final say when it comes to signing players. The reason being is that the coach is held accountable for a team's performance and it is a bit hard to blame a coach for failure when you don't give him the tools that he needs and wants.

Chris McQueen's stats don't look any different to his last few seasons at Souths

79 metres av per game this season
25.6 av tackles with 2.6 av missed tackles this season

This from the NRL.com stats which inflate metres made based on the older stats. On the older stats 79m would be 60 odd metres a game

These stats are average at best and no different to what McQueen was doing at Souths

I've watched McQueen a few times this season and he is no different a player to last season. In all honesty, McQueen's form tailed off around mid-2014 and he has not been the same player since. I'm not sure what went wrong but the 2012-2013 McQueen was a world-class backrower with one of the most unique skill sets in the competition - a pacey forward who could get on the outside of defenders and who was also a target in the air for Adam Reynolds. He has not shown either of these traits in the last couple of years and was rightly let go.

Just on the Lachlan Coote situation, I would be very surprised if he joins us. Word is that Thurston is convincing him to say. I think it is getting to the stage now where we might start having to pay overs for quality players because the perception around other clubs is that we are a team in decline or were never as good as everyone initially thought. I think we are going to have to do exceptionally well this season to prove to outside players that we are still a force to be reckoned with and that were are an attractive club to join.

 

[southsport]

Latest rumour is that Keary will be with the storm in 2017.

 

[Rsag85]

No need to sign another fullback we have AJ

 

[Itsmeagain]

Word is high performance manager Troy Thomson set to tender resignation to join meninga at kangaroos in a permanent position on coaching staff...

Old news

 

[Itsmeagain]

Yeah I just noticed it had been confirmed.. Sorry

 

[Curns13]

No need to sign another fullback we have AJ

He's got the 2 months of origin this year to prove he's capable there. Two years in and he hasn't shown any signs that he is a first grade quality fullback.
