Have you heard what Souths fans done to Crichton when he went to roosters? He is abused in public, spat at , ridiculed on Social Media etc, etc. I'm pretty sure Can won't go to roosters. He lives in the South Sydney district. And I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I thought what happened to Crichton was way over the top. Sure, it was treason but personal life should be separated from footy.
Turner didn't surprise me at all. He's played there before and he fitted the Bennett playbook of putting a second rower at centre to stiffen our defence eg Toni Carroll, Beau Scott. He's also a veteran first grader.
Isn't young Joshua Cook a hooker?
It's a huge step up from nsw cup which most players can't make. See also Corey Allen tearing up the BRL.
No idea...
Yeah because fans wouldn't change jobs for a pay rise.
Well I wouldn't change jobs for a pay rise if it meant I had to follow roosters instead of rabbitohs. And that's a fact.

Hi Spock
Yes and he is good
They can have that figurine version of him Pete but not the real thing, I’m sure that is what you meant?View attachment 35036 The South Sydney Gun Player. He might go off.I
I am confident he will be a Bunny for life bro! He’s South Sydney through and through and will be our Captain in 2-3 years.
I disagree on this one Pete, Doueihi is more versatile, really he can play and fill in at fullback, centre, halves, hooker and second row, AJ or Gags can’t do that and they cost more, we imo need to re-sign Douiehi and give him a bit of a pay rise and get him to settle in a position he’s comfortable with. Gagai is a top notch winger and can fill in at centre but his defence is dodgy and he’s hot and cold. I think AJ is the one we have to let go, I just think personally in my view that Gagai offers just a bit more than what AJ does. Latrell for AJ, yes please! AJ also thinks he’s a fullback and he’s not imo. Douiehi is gonna be a fine fine player in future too, he’s one we can’t lose.
we gave Angus a massive chance that Easts didn’t, then after we helped him and treated him well he threw it back and spat in our faces, I can understand why many were upset about that including me, but yes give a piece of your mind but leave it at that!
I’m surprised we let Turner go too when we have not much depth at all for second rowers.

That’s gonna be awesome if true mate, so I guess it’s just a matter of what we give the Titans in return?
I can understand what your saying. Alex Johnston is a try scoring machine on the wing. Dane Gagai maybe can't handle big guys too well in defence, but he sure knows his way to the line. Dourhie, is just recently promoted from reserves or bench because of injuries. I don't see first grade in him. But, you may be able to and that's fine. He's not a fullbacks boot laces, he can't handle wing and went OK in centres filling in before he done his knee in that Melbourne game at anz 2018. Add it all up and it's not fair pushing AJ out the door who's a Souths Junior and been with us for five years. Gagai, like I said at least deserves a stay of execution until his contract expires. And there's NO WAY I'd trade Murray for anyone. If he goes, it will be his own decision not mine. I don't believe he will go anyway. As for piss Clive, I don't drink. Do you?
I’m sure we’ve told AJ we would be happy to keep him on the wing, the problem is Pete from what I can gather and from what I’ve read AJ believes he’s a fullback, there in lies our problem, especially if AJ wants to pursue that elsewhere we shouldn’t stop him, but he’s had so many games at fullback and the reality is he hasn’t nailed down that position and put his stamp on it imo, he’s been solid Pete but like you said the other day we wanna make Grand Finals and not fall short, by all means if we wanna full short again persist with AJ at the back but we will get the same result imo. AJ is not a fullbacks boot laces and for Douiehi a guy who had never played fullback before he went better than I thought and offered more than AJ did and Douiehi played with a very good energy, he wouldn’t shirk the tough stuff and he got down and dirty which is what the good fullbacks do. Ideally for mine we get Latrell and have Douiehi to go back to fullback if things don’t work out with Latrell or if Latrell gets injured.
Where does the 1.5 million come from?
If AJ and DG put their hand up to go because they want fullback and centre, then I'm sure no one would begrudge them of that chance. But when it comes down to getting pushed out, Doueihi is your man.
