2020 Rabbitohs Rumours, Signings and News

[NovoBunny94]

I think he will go to Easts as much as I don’t wanna believe it.

Another chapter to the book of feuds.

As much as i don't like melbourne as a city, if i was AD id def go to Melbourne. To further myself as a Rugby League Player.

 

[Travitoh]

Why not seek that better opportunity at Souths a good player will fight his way into a side. Don’t you rate Douehi?

I do rate Doueihi, it's why i didn't care much for bringing in Mitchell.

Now that Latrell is at Souths, Doueihi's best opportunity of minutes will be from the bench. Wests can offer him a FB job with a good chance at increasing his value beyond his current contract. He'd be a fool to turn it down.

 

[Souths Till I Die]

Damn, some Souths supporters are never happy. We have had one of the biggest recruitment off seasons in a long time. We signed arguably the best off contract forward in Arrow and easily the best off contract back in Mitchell which replace both Sam and GI.

We have some high quality juniors coming through in Dargan, Taafe, Dillon, Sironen, Marsters, Josh Cook. (I’m definitely missing a few here as well) Give these players time and they will eventually turn into your Campbell Graham’s, Cameron Murray’s and Adam Reynolds’. We are a club that are really good at developing players into first grade players. We have been for the last couple of years. We have let so many players go and fans always complain but we always manage to replace them. Doueihi is a fantastic player but Doueihi is replaceable.

I don’t want to be the club that holds players back from first grade. I want to be the club that develops players into regular first graders which is what we have done.

Doueihi also was a tigers fan and tigers junior growing up. Let him return home and play under Madge. I wish nothing but the best for him as a player as I know he’s a gun in the making.

Great post. We often forget we have some absolute stars in SG ball and HMatts. Some of these kids will be hitting their stride in 2-4 years. With The base of players we are recruiting ATM, I think our window is widening from about 2 years to next 4-5 years. Exciting times.

 

[handyman2190]

But is there a cap problem? They keep saying we are not over the cap even if Arrow comes over this year, we can keep Doueihi and sign Latrell. Is it spin to cover up another deal?

I dont think we have a cap problem perse, all clubs have tight caps, i think its more we are paying some players too much, eg gagai on the wing on 700k AJ pushing for FB on 400odd k, when you consider Addo car on 330k whats AJ doing on 400?

Time will tell but I don’t agree re Douehi .

Fair enough time will tell .

 

[BotanyBorn&Bred]

There was until GI and Sam were retired. Richo got bailed out of trouble there.



If Doueihi goes it will be for a better opportunity, not because he's being pushed.

Agreed with both points

 

[Travitoh]

To be fair, Addo-Carr's next contract will be worth double that at a minimum. His current contract was signed in 2017.
AJ's earning potential has arguably peaked.

 

[BotanyBorn&Bred]

IMO when an opportunity presents itself like signing Latrell at such a reduced price and risk to the club, you just cant pass on that, even if it means someone has to go. Obviously Doueihi wouldn't have been fist choice but if Gagai and Johnston are refusing to budge (which is their perogative) or other teans aren't interested then IIWII.

I hope that Doueihi reconsiders going to Melb. Its a good team, great coach and system, and we might be able to swing a swap for JAC

Correct and agreed

 

[CliveC]

This kind of makes me realise that Bennett is a good person as well as a good coach. He was straight up with Doueihi and didn’t f**k him around. We could’ve easily made him wait out his contract and be a backup but Bennett knows he’s a quality player that can get game time at other clubs. Good job South Sydney and good job Bennett. Maybe one day we’ll see Doueihi return to the club.

We will also have more cash to go towards resigning that huge off contract list at the end of the season.

Of AJ,Gags and Dewey who has the most potential.
No brainer!

Well AJ and Gagai have both represented Australia so I don’t really know what you’re insinuating by that post.

 

[Mascot Spy]

Off to the Tigers Mate

 

[Travitoh]

Some Souths fans:
Doueihi isn't good enough. Get Latrell Mitchell in!

The same Souths fans:
Why would the club let Doueihi go? He's a gun!

Mate well said, but as long as Easts don’t get him, surely they won’t.

My only concern is if Cody or Reyno go down I don’t think we have anyone that is ready yet and that’s a worry.

You. Can check my posts i for one never mentioned Mitchell, I dont agree letting douehi go and re Mitchell he has a bit to prove at souths. Anyhow he is gone our loss . I HOPE HE KILLS IT for the tigers.

Taafe, Dargan and Hawkins. Hawkins has been lurking around for a while now it’s definitely time for him to prove to the club if he’s going to be first grade standard. Taafe and Dargan have been reportedly ‘training the house down’ as well. Playing with heaps of confidence against the first grade boys.

 

[Rabbits20]

Off to the Tigers Mate

Thank God for that then, I’m disappointed I won’t lie but I’m ok with it.

As I said above my concern is if Reyno or Cody go down Dargan, Ta’affe and Hawkins aren’t ready for first grade yet.

Whereas if Latrell goes down we have back up in AJ, we don’t have that in the halves.

I don’t have confidence in Hawkins mate, I’ll see how the other two go.

I’ve heard the issue with Dargan is he’s defensively pretty poor.
