2020 Rabbitohs Rumours, Signings and News

[Rabbits20]

Yep, he's officially gone,

Rabbitohs release Adam Doueihi: https://www.rabbitohs.com.au/news/2020/01/30/rabbitohs-release-adam-doueihi/

Sad but we knew it was coming, I can wish him nothing but the best. I couldn’t fault him in his time with us, he gave his best all the time!

 

[LittleWayne]

Of course Addo Carr would be awesome, but let’s be honest we need to find a forward or two, what we have right now in the pack won’t cut it in the big games in 2020.

Dunno who we will sign but I hope it’s someone reasonable.

True, but as we've been trying to recruit a forward already I see the two unrelated.

We've now got cap space for a back and forward.

 

[Souths Till I Die]

Adam Doueihi on 2.5m over 4 years is insanity.

If South's can now sign JAC it's the best bit of business we've done since we signed Mitchell on 600k.

That’s reportedly what we resigned him on too. The excuse was that it was ‘fullback money’.

Lol
We haven't done any business since we signed Latrell

I'm not sure we will sign JAC, even though he really does wanna come to Souths, Bennett is well known for not being one to spend big money on wingers, he'd rather spend it on fowards. Just ask our 2018 top try scorer George Jennings

Tigers.

Tigers.

Goodluck to deouihi, he is a Tigers junior so he is going home, to Madge who is a great coach as we know. He also will hopefully push for a starting spot. All the best to him. You dont play elite level rugby league forever so you have to take the opportunities when they arise.

Im really excited to see our backline perform next year though.

1. Mitchell
2. Gagai
3. Roberts
4. Burns
5. Graham
6. Walker
7. Reynolds

It’s what’s ahead of that when it becomes worrying.

8. Tom

11. Lowe
12. Sua
13. Murray

14. Sironen
15. Tatola
16. Amone
17. Nicholls

Not the most exciting group but enough talent there to win games.

AJ???

I've got AJ missing out at the moment too.

 

[NovoBunny94]

Yeah Graham is solid as and gagai is a SOO winger so.. unfortunately AJ misses out.
Hopefully burns stays fit.. would be great to see more of him consistently this year

 

[southsport]

I've got AJ missing out at the moment too.

That makes some sense too if the rumour that he won't be re-signed at seasons end is true.

Look they are not a bad bunch but not better than last season, so what makes anyone think we can do better?

 

[BrotherJim05]

What do you guy reckon about Doueihi? Haven't seen much of him play but hearing that you guys aren't too happy about him leaving. Is his favorite position fullback or is he more of a long term 5/8 option.

 

[Travitoh]

I believe Souths can do better because the backline was the issue in 2019, not the forward pack.

How a forward pack performs as a unit is more important than how each forward performs as an individual.

Cam Murray, Ethan Lowe and Tom Burgess are all rep players. Liam Knight and Junior Tatola progressed well last season and will have bigger roles this season. Jaydn Sua was a player that Souths fans were frothing over the prospect of signing 18 months ago.

The pieces are there to be a good pack, it's how they all come together that will matter.

I believe he came up the grades as a half but IMO his best position is FB. I would've happily skipped on Latrell in favour of keeping AD at the back if it were my decision to make.

I think that Nichols is solid but predictable. I would prefer Goodwin or Koloa in at 17 to give us more options. If Eden Gebbie is available in second half of year he might be a gun off the bench (see how he develops).
