2020 Rabbitohs Rumours, Signings and News

[Travitoh]

I'm not sold on Latrell as a FB. He was at best third choice at Easts behind Tedesco and Manu.

I think that's mainly because he was a sensation at centre. Remember he's just a kid still. It seems like years ago he started that ears thing. Long before he even played any rep footy. Big dreams for a kid to have to play for kangaroos when he hadn't even had a full-time first grade spot yet. Or was it that? Hee Hee.

Easts didn't even deem him their best centre.

It was years ago, at least one new Eastern Suburbs contract ago.
But then again, i guess GI always had secret desires to leave Souths and play for Cessnock Goannas eventually.
Or maybe, just maybe, they're related to spirit animals and Indigenous culture. Nothing to do with footy.

Gees, then Manlys wombat (Graham Eadie) would have been in the pool.

You Can't Beat This No Matter How Hard You Try Or Cheat.

Totally untrue. Souths would have put themselves way over the cap. It sounds like tigers fans not wanting to admit Latrell wanted nothing to do with them.

Correct Pete, sound exactly right.

It seems as if Latrell and Cody are destined to play with each other. Every time Latrell comes up in media articles Cody Walker’s name somehow appears. The idea that our spine could potentially be

1. Mitchell
6. Walker
7. Reynolds
9. Cook

Is quite exciting. I could imagine all of them have played together at some point too considering they’re all NSW reps. I actually rate that more than any other spine in the comp.

@Souths Till I Die that to me would be the best spine in the comp providing Mitchell could become fit enough to handle the workload at fullback which I think he can!

 

[GGTSS]

I’m just going to put this out there - Latrell isn’t proven at fullback and in the modern game marquee money isn’t best spent on a centre. He’s a great player but we don’t need him; our backs are fine. Also we need to remember that Latrell is playing in an incredible team.

'Bout time some one was a bit sensible. To compare Mitchell to Inglis is ludicrous, I'd rather Souths chased the other Rooster centre, he's a much better footballer, Mitchell is a petulant child who has now been caught out and is looking like he is going to face the financial consequences of his greed.
I have always felt Souths should support the backs they have, Burns, Roberts, Gagai and let Mitchell forment disquiet elsewhere.

We had our players in the middle last two seasons. We haven't got that player capable of breaking the game open for us or put their hand up to do something in the last five minutes to get us up in those close major prelims. Let's go in to next year with the same team team. Same result will be the final result.

And like it or not, this player would have made all the difference in the last two major prelims.

Latrell is still only 21 years old. The Great Greg Inglis didn't reach the top at that young young age. This blokes potential is scary and could end up better than Inglis. And I'm the first person to say not many players will get even close to Greg. If Souths have a chance of signing him, I'd certainly do it. We need him and I can't believe he's not there already. Or is he? Hee Hee

Yep Latrell could’ve been the difference for us, he has that X Factor we do need.

After all if a half gets injured Douiehi has to play there and AJ back to fullback will just not work.

You won’t find many backs as talented as Latrell and imo Latrell is still young and hasn’t peaked yet.

All his family go for Souths, I reckon Latrell can deliver for us, he scores so many tries and a good goal kicker he’s strong defensively can turn a game......

I agree on that though, you can’t compare Latrell to GI.

Well Manu is locked up over there.

I think Latrell’ management have made him look very bad, wouldn’t surprise me if Latrell parts with that manager.

From what I’ve read and heard Latrell is a good young man who cares for his family.

I also reckon he will take a bit less to come to us.

Burns is far too injury prone, Gagai is a fine winger but no centre and doesn’t really have X Factor.

If we wanna fall just short of a GF again then we persist with what we have, but I believe the Latrell risk could be a master stroke and is one we need to take.

BENNY’S SLIDE SHOW


Wayne Bennett took on a Souths side with two marquee stars in Greg Inglis and Sam Burgess. Now that the two champs have their feet up in retirement, I can’t see the Bunnies making the finals. The premiership window is officially closed and the club needs a rebuild — and that

hasn’t been Bennett’s forte for some time. Souths are at the crossroads for the first time since 2011.


BUZZ’S 2020 NRL LADDER


1 Roosters


2 Raiders


3 Sea Eagles


4 Broncos

7 Eels


8 Storm


9 Rabbitohs


10 Panthers


11 Dragons

13 Wests Tigers

With what we currently have I’d say he’s close to the mark, but we still have signings to come.

Come on R20 he is a drunken wino! He has his peptide salary cap cheating gummies at 6 and who have they bought? The mighty bunnies top 8 certainties if not top 4. You watch some of the youngsters step up

Expectation is not a good thing for anyone. No one really knows how we will perform next year until we get about five games in. But assuming we don't add to the team for 2020 I certainly won't be expecting too much. Our players will give it all we can be certain of that. But without Burgess, Sutton and naturally Greg Inglis, we will definitely struggle at times. I do think we have enough to make the semis, but if we don't at least I'll know the boys tried their hardest and we will be better in 2021.

Mixo for once i disagree we have lost 5 forwards and signed 1 who may not play this next season,we are not in good shape, we may go even worse than 9th which i think is generous, im sorry but im a realist, we are not as strong as this season and we are short a backrower and a prop

I think 9ths a bit optimistic.

I don’t like Rothfield I won’t lie, but I thought his assessment as things stand right now was quite reasonable. Besides Rodwell and Koloa I don’t think we have many younger forwards younger than Amone and Sironen ready to step up, our depth took a big hit. Things can change though with a few signings before the season.

Expectation is not a good thing for anyone. No one really knows how we will perform next year until we get about five games in. But assuming we don't add to the team for 2020 I certainly won't be expecting too much. Our players will give it all we can be certain of that. But without Burgess, Sutton and naturally Greg Inglis, we will definitely struggle at times. I do think we have enough to make the semis, but if we don't at least I'll know the boys tried their hardest and we will be better in 2021.

That’s right Pete, the trials won’t tell us too much either apart from whether a couple of players look likely to step up. I’m also certain our boys we give their all but we lost like over 800 games of forwards leadership, that’s a lot to lose.

We may just have to take the hit for 2020 but with a few signings I definitely then see us as being able to possibly do something.

I think 9ths a bit optimistic.

Based on what we have right now where do you expect us to finish Spock? Tbh I’m gonna predict 8th as of right now.

Mixo for once i disagree we have lost 5 forwards and signed 1 who may not play this next season,we are not in good shape, we may go even worse than 9th which i think is generous, im sorry but im a realist, we are not as strong as this season and we are short a backrower and a prop

Second row is definitely a concern, even if Su’a and Sironen step up along with Lowe we are still very light on if an injury or two hits. Handyman where are you expecting us to finish with what we have right now?

Ooh I don't know about that Handy. I reckon we will have Arrow and we've got Murray the gun Sua with a full pre season as well as lowe big Tom B the best hooker in the comp an improving Tatola and mongrel Knight. Up and comers like Amone Johns and Sironen. Not a bad pack actually. Our halves are solid and you watch Jimmy step up with a full pre season and injury free and Braidon to be injury free as well. Agree we need a couple more forwards to round the team off. I am really looking forward to start of season. I'll let you know after round 6 if we'll make the semis
