Get a prop from Penrith's juniors.We need props,arrows better on the edge
Take a good one, a real prospect, from the enemy. That's what turns the H2H record around.

Funny you should reference the panthers, because apparently if Sele moves on we are signing Tyrone Peachy. (Clearly not the prop you wanted) not sure I’m a fan of this rumour as he doesn’t help with our needsGet a prop from Penrith's juniors.

But Vlandys wants it his way or the highway. He is becoming like Trump. They, and their mouthpiece FOX and the Telegraph won't even discuss what the holdup is.'It's backfired' - Shock claims in bitter CBA dispute as RLPA slammed over 'shambolic' boycott: https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nr...s/news-story/e35a1bcc904f51bad959e679e6631faf

Covering up the NRL logo on jerseys now? Honestly I'm just sick of this now. Absolutely sick of it. Grow up and sort it out FFS!!!! The fact that V'landys said he'd remove Abdo from negotiations if they removed Newton to try and come up with a solution, but that was rejected, just makes me more angry. Ridiculous!
No big loss, he can't make a tackle to save his life, and unless he learns, he will be on the bench, or in reserves at the Bulldogs too.Former NSW playmaker could make surprise switch to Souths: https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/fo...urprise-switch-to-souths-20230726-p5drge.html
The only way I'd want to take Peachey, is if it was minimum wage or pretty close to it. Otherwise, it's a no from me. I think he's past it and can be a bit of a liability. Is he currently better than some of our depth options? Yea, maybe, but I just don't think it's worth it. Would much rather invest in guys like Munro and Karapani.
Taaffey pretty much confirmed to be gone now too, the club has been informed. Still not sure how to feel about that to be honest.
Anyway, there's a bit more stuff on the Charlie Rabbit movie,

The salary cap at that time allowed the club only one of Chricton and Murray to be retained. They 100% made the right choice. And allowed us to bring through Kaeon who is also 100% better than Crichton.Callmack,
You hit the nail on the head with reference to Blake Taaffey being released.
He will most certainly become a top Halfback given the chance.
As usual the souths management can't see what is in front of their eyes.
The following is just some of the stupid errors our management have made in the past by letting the following players go ;
Ashley Harrison, Bryson Goodwin, Jason Clark, Chris Sandow, Luke Keary, Angus Crichton, Nathan Brown, ADAM REYNOLDS and now Taaffey. What is it about Halfbacks that Souths dislike?
Have been viewing this web site for more than ten years and love the opinions of those who have posted. This my first and last post so thanks to you Callmack for your work you do![]()
I agree with it all brother,i just wish we had given taafe a go at 7 before we let him go, ilias just hasnt kicked onThe salary cap at that time allowed the club only one of Chricton and Murray to be retained. They 100% made the right choice. And allowed us to bring through Kaeon who is also 100% better than Crichton.
The club chose Reynolds over Sandow which ended up being 100% correct with Reynolds guiding us to 13 years of leadership and a premieship.
Keary had a big mouth and started telling Rusty how to run the club, particularly when it came to Burgess. F...him.
Everyone else Souths have let go since has been a bust elsewhere, rxcept Reynolds, a decision I didn't agree with.
Are you a family member of Taafe?
Thanks mate, appreciate that.Callmack,

Excellent.From The Daily Telegraph, I can't find a link right now but I will when I can. Here is the article for now,
South Sydney have extended the contract of Jai Arrow as part of a stunning near $21.5 million spending spree designed to ensure the club remains a premiership contender for years to come.
Arrow is off contract at the end of next season but has agreed a three-year extension, believed to be worth in the vicinity of $2.5 million keeping him at the club until at least the end of 2027.
South Sydney have made a point of not letting their players be available to rival clubs by locking them down well before they are able to hit the November 1 open market.
South Sydney have now secured 10 players in the past eight months including high profile recruit Jack Wighton. All but one has played either state or international football.
Arrow, a Queensland star, is the latest signing in a retention and recruitment drive that began at the end of last season when South Sydney re-signed hooker Damien Cook for a further two years.

Five days later, they announced the twin signings of Latrell Mitchell and Cody Walker - deals believed to be worth close to $6 million.
In the middle of March, they kept Tom Burgess for another season and then added Jacob Host for two more. Canberra’s Wighton was lured to Redfern at the end of April before Kangaroos centre Campbell Graham and prop Junior Tatola inked extensions in July.
Arrow is likely to be the next cab off the rank, although the Rabbitohs are also close to extending Keaon Koloamatangi for at least another three years.
Coach Jason Demetriou has also agreed a new deal which will keep him at the club until at least the end of 2026 with the club to announce his new contract in the coming weeks.
South Sydney's spending spree
Dec 16
Damien Cook 2 years $1.5 million
Dec 21
Cody Walker 2 years $1.6m
Latrell Mitchell 4 years $4m
March 16
Tom Burgess 1 year $400,000
March 30
Jacob Host 2 year $600,000
April 27
Jack Wighton 4 years $3.3 million
July 17
Campbell Graham 3 years $2.5 million
July 26
Junior Tatola 4 years $2.6 million
Jai Arrow 3 years $2.5 million
Keaon Koloamatangi 3 years $2.5 million
TOTAL $21.5 million
Despite the good news, rival clubs have capitalised on South Sydney’s spending spree with the Dragons landing Hame Sele to the club on a three year deal. Sele will be incoming coach Shane Flanagan’s first signing as he officially inks a long-term deal to return to the club.
A St George junior, Sele was cut adrift by the club at the end of 2018 after playing 18 games. He spent one season at Penrith before revitalising his career at South Sydney.
The Rabbitohs wanted to keep him but the Dragons’ trumpeted South Sydney’s deal.
The Rabbitohs will also lose Jed Cartwright (Newcastle) and Blake Taaffe (Canterbury) at the end of the season. Liam Knight also left the club this week to join Canterbury.
Michel Chee Kam and Dean Hawkins remain off-contract at the end of the season.
Yeah, I get where you are coming from, but at least Illias can tackle. How is Taafe gonna handle front rowers and edge towards absolutely targeting him, if he can tackle a winger or fullback in the open field or just outside the goal line?I agree with it all brother,i just wish we had given taafe a go at 7 before we let him go, ilias just hasnt kicked on
add these names who left/got cut and went to other clubs (i.e. NOT retiring)Excellent.
The club keeps all the top players and cuts the driftwood.
Host seems overpaid but that is just my opinion.
When I get a chance and time I'm gonna put together a list of guys Souths cut, or didn't resign, and we will all be able to see what's what and what's not. But off the top of my head, from 2012:
Sandow
Crichton
George Burgess
Keary
Hiroti
McGuiness
Douehi
Allen
Talaki
Brown
Burns
Brown
Tracey
Su'a
Reynolds
The GOAT
Gagai
Nikorema
Taafe
And considrering either who they we replaced by, or who we already had that was higher in the pecking order, whose weeping about any of these, with the excepton of Reynoldss
