2021 Rabbitohs Rumours, Signings And News

[Jim Rockford]

The media have written us off, except Blocker Roach

Unlike all the other ex-players who commentate, Blocker doesn't have biases or hidden agendas. He just calls it as he sees it. I definitely respect that.

Interesting to note that old p***k said his team Cronulla had a good season, didn't mention the sacking of their coach maybe cost them the season, and then deflected by going on about his article about the failures of the two mergers

Ignore, trying to clear "multi quote"

Good ol' Phil The Alco is nothing if not predictable.

Does anyone see a resemblance in Peter Mamouzelos and our past Hooker Jim serdaris who was a great player until he left souths which happens to anyone who leaves the greatest club of all

I see more Cookie than Sedaris

Also, from NRL.com, we all knew this was happening with Josh Cook but it was officially confirmed today,

Cook joins Bulldogs

The Bulldogs have secured the services of Josh Cook from the Rabbitohs for the next two seasons.

The 22 year-old has been an understudy to his namesake Damien at Redfern and is yet to make his NRL debut.

"We think that Josh has untapped potential and will provide another great option in the hooker position," Bulldogs CEO Aaron Warburton said.

I just think he's got that toughness that made Serdaris such a great hooker.

The rumour is that he grated and wore thin on the Souths boys for exactly this reason. When you got SOO and international test players in the team, they don't want or expect to be spoken to like that on a regular and weekly basis. Their other coaches didn't and wouldn't. And you can see it in the results after 2014 - 8th, 12th, and 12th.

This, plus the way he made GI play on one leg when he was clearly broken, and the "bootcamp" training sessions - they'd all had enough.

But hey, I remember when Madge turned up to coach the semi final a few hours after finding out his mum died - despite the complaints above, he'll hold a special place in my memory because of this.

 

[Jim Rockford]

Regardless of what else happened, he broke our drought. I'll always respect him for that.

That too. And turning up when his mum died is also a big thing in my eyes.

Anyway, that basketcase of a franchise deserve all the misery they are getting, and I don't feel sorry for them one bit (sorry Phantom).

They sold us out when they decided to merge, to save their arses, instead of standing strong like we did, and taking it to court; and then wanted to sue the NRL when we were re-admitted - I don't forget these things.

It's not all Madge's fault - their recruitment has been terrible, paying overs for criminals and garbage players - Pascoe needs to be the first person sacked, then all their recruitment personnel, then a board spill to sack the board

Mate I couldn't agree more. While there are some cool Tigers fans (like Phantom as well as my brother-in-law), everything you pointed out they did back then makes them one of my most hated clubs today. I will say that I tend to find that the ones who were Magpies fans are usually pretty cool while the old Balmain fans are the worthless scum.

What did Blocker say about us?

He said he still thinks we have a big chance and "I wouldn't be writing them off"

Hahaha - my ex-girlfriend went out with him back in the early 90s. I can confirm he is just as sleazy and disgusting as you would imagine him to be.
