[Rabbits20]

The Rorters - Plumbing new levels of scumminess!! They truly are a stain on the great game of Rugby League.

54-12 baby lads and we’ve just knocked them out of the top 4 and they can’t hack it lol!

Taffe will come right when we on the defence I will swap him with walker. Walker is a stronger defender

In regards to the player rumours mentioned on the last page, Im not to fussed about Chee Kam but certainly keen on Sims!!

 

[Rabbitsglory]

Sims great replacement for sua
Chee kam can play centre

Taffe will do an amazing job huge potential

[Jim Rockford]

That's awesome. What a great friend!

 

[BotanyBorn&Bred]

Just wondering, does anyone have the draw for the finals worked out?

Specifically does the loser of 2 v 3, play the winner of 6 v 7 or 5 v 8?

If we lose that Penrith game we could be facing Hargreaves' Band of Thugs again

 

[handyman2190]

Just read chee kam to sign,he is 29 can play 2nd row or centre

 

[Rabbit57]

Rumour that Souths are talking to Michael Chee Kam.
.

Not for me.

 

[southsport]

Not for me.

Some supporters like it and some don't, I'm happy enough to give him a chance.

That's cool. They'll be looking for some sort of square-up while we'll be busy running in a whole bunch more tries.

From Zero Tackle,

Rabbitohs add Tigers’ utility to shopping list

The South Sydney Rabbitohs have reportedly entered discussions with Wests Tigers' centre and back rower Michael Chee-Kam.

So advanced are the talks, according to an Sydney Morning Herald report, it's understood the Rabbitohs are almost certainly set to sign the 29-year-old for the 2022 season and beyond.

Wests Tigers' coach Michael Maguire was supposedly against re-signing Chee-Kam, but has changed his stance in the past month, having had him start in each of the last four games at centre.

The Tigers stand to lose Chee-Kam though, who has been underused this season horrifically. In the first 20 rounds, Chee-Kam had just one start at centre, as well as two games from the bench and one appearance from 18th man. He served as the 18th man on ten occasions during that period.

Chee-Kam has previously been a much bigger part of the Tigers' system, having moved from the Manly Sea Eagles at the end of 2015. He played 22 games in each of 2017, 2018 and 2019, scoring six tries in the later of those.

He only played nine games last year though before things got worse this time around and may be looking for a change to reinvigorate his career, which currently sits on 92 matches.

The Tigers will be looking to bring Zac Cini into first grade on a more permanent basis in the 2022 season, and with Moses Mbye leaving the club, there will be less competition in the backs should Chee-Kam also depart.

It's unclear how Chee-Kam would fit into the South Sydney system, however, he would undoubtedly be in with a chance at a spot on the bench in new coach Jason Demetriou's best 17.

He is a cheap replacement for gagai who can defend

 

[250excf]

someone built big like Moses Sulli running an angle outside Cody giving him options of AJ or Moses both at speed very very hard to defend in your own end
Taffe is awesome he’ll do us all proud
We r losing Gags Reynolds Sua Moga who’s replacing them
Taffe for Reynolds
I hear Sims is this true ? For Sua ( awesome if happens love his game except smashing halves )
Some big unit at centre like Suli

Hopefully we don’t buy anyone & use players we already have in the system, if we’ve already spent a fortune on them being professional athletes, what’s the point not giving them an opportunity?

I thought the club's policy was not to offer 30 and over more than one year deals?

 

[Jim Rockford]

I thought the club's policy was not to offer 30 and over more than one year deals?

What they say and what they do are clearly two wildly different things.

 

[southsport]

I thought the club's policy was not to offer 30 and over more than one year deals?

Is he over 30?
.

 

[BotanyBorn&Bred]

Is he over 30?
.

If we sign him, he'll be 30 in his first season with us.

Mansour - another one

So it just discredits what Solly said about Adam Reynolds not getting more than a one year deal.

We'll see if this also applies to Cody Walker - his contract is up at the end of next season.
