2021 Rabbitohs Rumours, Signings And News

[handyman2190]

I'm confident that there will be some pleasant surprises.
.

Thanks for your optimism southy, keeps me going anyway,glad your here brother

 

[Jim Rockford]

Reyno and Gags are past being top quality, they are on the slippery slope imo.
.

Reynos strength is his kicking and he is still kicking as well as ever.

Still he is on the slippery slope.

Manu anyone?

 

[Travitoh]

If Burns doesn't get badly injured in 2019, one of Gagai or Graham remain on a wing. Don't be surprised if Burns gets renewed and starts round 1 next year.

Another option at centre is Milne with either Mansour or Paulo on the wing.

Maybe even Latrell at centre with Ta'affe at FB.

There's enough options in the squad now to not need to go to the market. Going to market every time there is a gap isn't a move that equals success. It's been holding back Wests, StGI and Newcastle for years.

 

[handyman2190]

sly from extitans would be my pick, but curtis scot would be cheap and knows its probably his last hurra

 

[Travitoh]

Manu anyone?

No thanks. Currently earning approx $700k apparently and under contract for next season. He won't come cheap.

Doesn’t come cheap because he is trouble free and quality

 

[southsport]

Manu anyone?

Lol, that one is a trolling rumour that is floating around.

[Travitoh]

Look at where these players are going. Brisbane, StGI and Newcastle. Teams that haven't been relevant for a while and are trying to buy their way in. StGI are the best of those three and that's down to the coach IMO. They might play finals next year but they won't contend.

Buying doesn't equal success. Building and developing does.

 

[BradS]

B Ferguson ha ha ha ha

Agree and that’s what Souths have done investing in six juniors

but using your argument we would not have Mitchell

 

[handyman2190]

B Ferguson ha ha ha ha

Well i think he is still playing well and probably at 200k,dugan is available,i dont like him but again cheap 200k

 

[BradS]

Cronk said it last year Reyno does not have the x-factor to go all the way again, I hope he is wrong for this year though

Gags is the recipient of Cody’s and Latrells good play so not phased

SuA = MIA 9/10 times

now we have cap space to upgrade players and entice a marquee

would love to see Finucane if possible

Cant agree with u on this one,you have to do both, pinch juniors from around,tie your good ones up and buy what u need, props we dont have, wingers and centres as well,got lots of halves coming through

 

[Jim Rockford]

Cronk said it last year Reyno does not have the x-factor to go all the way again, I hope he is wrong for this year though

I put as much stock in Cronks opinion as I do tarot cards or telephone psychics.

 

[Jim Rockford]

As for Ferguson, that would be about the absolute dumbest thing we could do.

 

[Travitoh]

The investment in juniors is wasted if their path to first grade is blocked by cast offs from other clubs because we're afraid of dropping away.

Mitchell was signed to play FB for a team with premiership aspirations. Souths are now further from a premiership than they were before his arrival. I'm not blaming Latrell for that but the team hasn't kicked on.

That's not correct.
Last year was Souths' best chance of the three previous years, and Latrell was part of the team for most of the season. And even with Latrell getting injured towards the end, it was still their best chance in the last three years, the way the finals draw panned out.

And they are still a chance this year.
