We’ve been chatting Souths over at tigers forum today.

People were submitting that you need a couple of good forwards after the Sam retirement. There’s a small but noticeable gap.

So Arrow would be in the mix if he’s willing to head down.
I’ve heard you guys are the other club in the mix for Arrow too.

If you got Latrell, we’d be spewing and it would make for a instant “book of feuds” entry.

The middle finger to nick would be immense.

If he comes to us, there’s a rumour that we want the roosters to pay us something for his first year.

Either way, he wont be playing for Norths!

I looked at the posts, sorry 250, you are not having the best of nights. Chill.

Are you confident of getting Latrell mate?

You guys are still favs imo, we still have a chance though I reckon.

There was rumours at back end of last week that Latrell met with Souths Cares, no idea if there is any truth at all in that!

I hadn't heard about that. Last week he was up Taree helping with fires and securing family home. But I'd bet he's spoken to the big guns at Souths.

There’s a lot of talk about Latrell.

Some insiders think we are going to sign him soon, but who knows?

He means a lot to us. We have wealthy and committed sponsors.

You guys have superstars already. We don’t really have any. So we are pretty desperate.

I’ve even heard he signed with you secretly on Thursday lol.

He will be at North's if Wests don't give him a one year opt out and Roosters don't let him go to Souths. If rather see the latter just to make the Roosters brainstrust look stupid. Who'd pay $600K plus for someone to gallop around in reserve grade.

Those roosters hate like no other club!

Traitor Tedesco even dumps on us years after he pissed off.

They have about 5 fans too.

In the backline we are missing a superstar now like Latrell. If we keep AJ at fullback I’ll pull my hair out, if we miss Latrell we must imo go with Douiehi at fullback.

But personally I think we need at least 1 quality forward like Arrow first before we then look at a star back like Latrell.

Also what’d you make of this young forward who hasn’t played first grade yet and you guys signed him for reasonable money if I heard correctly?

Another rumour going around was Madge was looking at Kyle Turner for your pack as well. For mine he’d be a solid addition for you guys a handy no frills player who can do a job off the bench and covers centre too if a back goes down in a game, personally I wanted Souths to keep Turner on a bit of a cheaper deal.

Well A.J used to be a pretty good player, but lost his mojo a bit. It’s in him to be good at least.

I don’t know douhie that well.

There was a comment that your forwards where a bit more average than usual last year, but Murray and Cooke are the real deal. Murray poleaxed that guy and then stole the ball and I’ve watched that tackle a couple of times and there was nothing especially lucky about it. He’s a freak.

I am not keeping up with all the signings, but we have garner and twal and they are tradesman. There’s a feeling that Madge is a forwards coach and he has the boys punching a bit above their weight, but our backs are suspect at the best of times ( thus latrell).

I think he’s enjoying lifting a lower standard playing group than tweaking a good one, which he couldn’t manage for you guys for awhile.

Turner is good but we bought Jennings and he was a bit of a disaster for his ability. I’d be happy with Turner.

Ethan Lowe has just turned into a complete champion under Bennet. His career was in ruins, he was an afterthought. Next minute he’s origin hero.

Madge is buying cheap fringe type players in the main, building up I guess. But he’s very very popular in Tigerland and he’s found a good home!

You guys have a very good coach. He's a discipline coach, but he knows what he's doing. You can tell that by this year's results compared to previous years. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see you regulars in the semis very soon.

Can’t believe the bit where Weidler says we only have 250k spare in our cap.

I don’t believe that as I don’t believe anyone from within the club would’ve released that to him.

He also claims Souths have 28 contracted players when it's actually 29 until Sam's contract is cleared.

I don't believe Souths have millions free but I'd be shocked/disappointed if it's $250k. But then again, cap management has been poor since 2015.
