    Rabbitohs Rumors, Signings and News

    Haven't heard a peep about Lodge or any other player signing since Ilias' release as yet.

    Rabbitohs Rumors, Signings and News

    Well, Demetriou was prepared to die on the "Ilias is the best half Souths have had in years" hill and so he did and now both of them are goneski before the end of the year. Not the only reason JD ultimately failed but a fair chunk of it in my view.

    All that matters is we have enough to get the replacement we need. ;)

    Some freight I imagine. A necessity.

    Rabbitohs Rumors, Signings and News

    Settle down. It's a long off season. Havili is a middle who can play a bit of hooker as a fill in. We can't sell off most of our hookers and replace them with props. Mamo is better than what you give him credit for I reckon. See my previous posts on him as I'm not going to repeat myself...

    I can't believe AJ will leave. We need to re-sign both he and Munro asap.

    Rabbitohs Rumors, Signings and News

    Yeah, I must admit to being a little underwhelmed by the prospect of getting him. But, at least we are looking now to fill the hole left by Tom Burgess' departure. Maybe reuniting with Wayne will see Lodge return to his best. When he was at the Broncos he was effective and he's still only 28...

    Rabbitohs Rumors, Signings and News

    Mate, it was Wayne that got Cook to leave leaving only Mamo. He's not now going to also get rid of Mamo when we have no other real fulltime hookers at the club with 1st grade experience. You can keep calling for all players you don't like to be cleaned out but its not going to change a thing...

    Rabbitohs Rumors, Signings and News

    So, if this Ilias deal does go through as appears likely at this point and we do sign Lodge, even with paying some of Illie's freight, we could have a smidge of cap space left. Now, even with all 30 spots taken in the squad, it is still possible to bump one of the minimum wage guys back out of...

    David Riccio @DaveRic1 Two-year deal for @SSFCRABBITOHS Lachlan Ilias to @NRL_Dragons now a mere formality. He will be the starting halfback in 2025. Understand a supportive push from Damien Cook played a factor in the pursuit. @telegraph_sport Full story...

    We can't quite count our chickens just yet but it's shaping nicely at this stage. ;) We need another prop not an expensive reserve grade halfback.

    Rabbitohs Rumors, Signings and News

    Dragoons apparently gave Lachie a 2nd medical today (bend over and think of England) so they obviously fancy him. Also ,they think he might be their only option to play halfback.

    Rabbitohs Rumors, Signings and News

    Meanwhile Brandon Smith's manager is emailing around for a new club. He won't be available until maybe August so any club that might want him for the backend of 2025 would only need a smallish? amount of cap space free to get him for the final 4 months of the NRL calendar year if he's not taken...

    Rabbitohs Rumors, Signings and News

    An announcement regarding Ilias’ arrival at the Dragons is reportedly imminent. Ilias’ exit from the Redfern club could reportedly have a ripple effect, with club bosses reportedly discussing a potential move for Matt Lodge. The move could only be made happen if cap space is cleared, however it...

    Still 3 months before the preseason starts and 4 for the season proper for Tats to get fully fit. Way too early to be ruling him in or out.

    Rabbitohs Rumors, Signings and News

    Not at all surprised to again have one of the toughest, if not the toughest, draw of any club. The NRL want to load the draw with marquee box-office clashes and the Rabbitohs have lots of great rivalries with many clubs so that's their focus. But it does make a difference as far as a club's...

    Giving up playing the Indigenous game is a big sacrifice for Latrell to make and wouldn't come lightly. But he is showing his commitment to the club and the need to turn things around is obvious. So far so good from him but its early days. Lets hope it leads into his best season yet.

    Rabbitohs Rumors, Signings and News

    He's a smart young kid, I've seen him play at Cup level where he has played full games and really impressed. In first grade, he's only had limited minutes mostly off the bench where he has been told to just do a job. But now he has the chance to show his full wares as a starting hooker and he...

    It's a fair chance.

    Rabbitohs Rumors, Signings and News

    We can try. I'd hang on to Mamo though. We aren't flush for hookers and he still has the chance to establish himself as a starting hooker which he hasn't had that chance before now, always in the shadows. He has some skill about him and could yet blossom under Wayne's coaching.
