We need props
Yes we need quality props if they are available and we need forwards that make an impact. I think Curran could do a good job i the middle he wouldn’t be the biggest middle at About 105kg but he is 10 kg heavier than Ruben Cotter who does a good job for Cowboys QLD and Australia. If a gun prop is available I agree but he is at least worth thinking about.

We dont have money for a GUN prop,all we can afford is someone like Kepi who is on 500 and manly maybe contributes 150 so he costs us 350, or a young reserve grader we can develop,Gun props usually comand 700

Club has been making some serious plays in the offseason with Keebra and Blackhawks. Since we're losing Sele i think Keppie is a good replacement for him. Keppie is a big boy and will only become better as he's only 25 and coming into his prime years. Burgess and Tatola cant carry the props by themselves which theyve had to do most of the year. Shaquai Mitchell will probably be in the 4 prop rotation as well. I can potentially see a forward pack like.

8. Tatola
9. Cook
10. Burgess
11. Arrow
12. Koloa
13. Murray

14. Mamazoules
15. Keppie
16. Mitchell
17. Havili

i dont know who will be 14 but i like the look of mamazoules or maybe even Hawkins to come in in games where Illias is struggling.

I agree with thumper,duncan cannot be left out and they would do well to teach him some backline positional play during the off season, as i see wighton backing up the halves and FB roles,duncan has shown some speed,also cam can move into centre during a game if injuries occur

Yeah that makes sense. Havili is also a hooker as well so he can give Cook a spell. I dont know if Cook is an 80 minute hooker anymore.

He has all the Bling on, Gucci hat ,Bling watch and chain.
Hope he performs for the money he is on!
IMO a soft forward that stops at the line instead of bending it, much better out there for his coin.
I wouldn’t call him a soft forward he can bend the line. He did have a bad last 6-8 weeks to end this season as did most of the team.

We all know what he can do.

Props

burgess
Junior
Arrow
Davvy
Suluka fifita
Shaq
Brock Gray

so Keppie will fill a gap
Havili is used as a middle off the bench as well. Duncan will be used as a middle.

I have heard Keppie is coming just finalising the deal. Arrow won’t be leaving either.

Curran though we won’t be getting we don’t have enough cap space left we’re only looking at Curran if the Keppie deal fell through.

I have a feeling after next season Tom might leave too and go and be with Sam in England and play for Warrington. I do not wanna lose Tom though he’s hard to replace as he’s such a big body and he bends the line back. Our win record goes down quite a bit when Tom isn’t there.

Mate Duncan will be in our best 17 JD said at back end of this season he’s earnt that right now to be in our best 17. The club has big wraps on him as you know.

Also I prefer Tom off the bench he has much better impact for us off the bench than starting.

I also can confirm Keaon upgraded deal kicks in for 2025 and 26 and we had to pay 800k a season for those two years to keep him that’s what it took for us to get that deal over the line.

On membership packs how do you redeem for multiple memberships that way you don’t pay x 2 x 3 postage if it’s going to the same household? Don’t wanna pay $48 postage for 3 memberships all going the same house.

I got the email today too with the link to the member store.

The whole thing is a nightmare. So say you have 6-8 family members for example does each need to have their own Rabbitohs account? If you live in the same household surely you can do however many at the same time…..

My Dad Isn’t happy with the process this season either.

What was wrong with just the members pack and the cap and scarf why change what’s broken and complicate it @Hellray @The Mad Hatter @Souths Till I Die @southsport @callmack1 @handyman2190 so many I’ve heard from and read on social media are peeved off with the club for making this over complicated.

Something about 100 credits too equals $100 but $16.20 of those credits goes on postage fees to get it sent out. It beggars belief…….

Arrow resigned,he could only leave if we released him,and indications are he is happy,were did this come from?

I ord the standard pack plus cap plus carry bag and used the 100$ and paid 6 dollars postage its difficult to manage took me 5 trys ,its not the easiest i agree and in previous years the cap was part of the package,this year you need to add it and use the 100dollars credit

Yeah i forgot about Duncan i think that letting Murray play second receiver is a great idea for when Duncan comes on.

I dont mind 800k for Keaon. He is such a versatile forward and can even slot into the middle of the field. I think its a bargain.

The talk was raiders and saints were ready with 900 plus, so we had no choice,but i keep hearing martin from riff only took 750 to stay, so i think we overpaid 50k

I called the club about 1 hour ago waited 15mins to speak to someone so not too bad. He said if he links Mums or Dads account to mine that can take up to 2 weeks to work he said it’s better for Mum to have her own account he said does she have her own email I said no she doesn’t.

So we can use my Sister email for Mum.

He said they have been having issues with the website and that you shouldn’t need the link to get in if you’re a member it should also work without the link if you’re logged into your Rabbitohs account.

I told him mate not your fault but this has been a dogs breakfast and I have friends finding the same thing. He said it’s what majority of members wanted that is more options to pick for what you want in your pack.
