RIP to young Troy Dargan, whilst not a Rabbitoh anymore, way too young to go!

Terrible news on a Xmas Day. Signed with Canberra for next 2024 too. RIP and condolences to his family.

Vale Troy Dargan – South Sydney Rabbitohs

The South Sydney Rabbitohs are mourning the passing of former player, Troy Dargan, following a tragic motorcycle accident in the Cook Islands on Christmas Eve, aged just 26.

So incredibly tragic and sad. He may have only played two games for us but he will be forever a Rabbitoh and he served our club well.

Thoughts with his family and friends.

Caleb Clarke looks very impressive and his love of the Club and GI in particular seems unparalleled.

Would be delighted to have him join the first grade ranks as he looks quality. But it is sincerely hoped that neither Burns or Hawkins see any first grade, as that would be most detrimental to our chances of success.

Burns will be injured next week anyway. Hawkins isn’t up to first grade standard.
question marks if illias can run the side.
but Cody isn’t the answer at 7 either.

Abdo reveals NRL decision on forward pass technology

"This has been debated forever."

www.zerotackle.com

Not sure how I feel about this. I agree we should do our best to avoid interrupting the flow of games but the forward passes that are so blatant it's not funny, should be ruled on by the Bunker in my eyes.

 

[Travitoh]

I wonder what the game would look like if forward passes were ruled on the receiver not being behind the passer

Yes a tragedy was terrible news

 

[Rabbits20]

Brilliant news I’m so happy this was very important to get Pete locked down.

If I wasn’t in a moon boot I’d have jumped in the air

 

[Travitoh]

I don't know if it's been discussed already but a pod i was listening to suggested Koala is moving to the left edge and Duncan will come in on the right

Would love to see that. Tallis would have to put on some weight though.

Very happy to see that Pete is going to be re-signed long term! Stoked about that. I don't think there's any doubt that he's going to be our next hooker, especially after the role he played in the NSW Cup Season just gone.

However, to suggest that he is a better option than Cooky right now, as some people on other forums have, and to suggest that he is our number one hooker is quite frankly a ridiculous statement. Pete is not there yet, he's not that developed yet and Cooky is still one of the best hookers in the game and State of Origin worthy.

Can Pete get to that level and overtake Cooky? Of course he can and there will come a time where he will. But that time is a little while off right now.

I do think it's time to really start bringing Pete through and giving him the more regular experience that he needs, especially with a full string side. Rotate him in the 14-role depending on the opposition. I think he could become our starting hooker by 2025 or 26.

Anyways, stoked to see he's staying, and I look forward to it being officially announced.

2024 Laws and Interpretations

The NRL has confirmed a change to Law and Interpretations ahead of the 2024 NRL Pre-Season and Premiership.

www.nrl.com

Really not sure what to make of the rule change. Yea, it will create more in the air contests which can be exciting but did we really need to change it?

I don't like how a big part of the game in building pressure by forcing dropouts is being taken away.

Rabbitohs extend contract of Peter Mamouzelos until at least the end of 2027 – South Sydney Rabbitohs

The South Sydney Rabbitohs are delighted to announce the contract extension of young hooker Peter Mamouzelos for a further three seasons until the end of 2027 today.

www.rabbitohs.com.au

Great to have it official!! He's our next long-term hooker and I don't think there's any doubt about that. The development he's gone through and the improvement in his game the past couple of years has been immense and I hope that trajectory continues from here.

Signing til 2027 tells us he must be close.

Great to see!

 

[Travitoh]

Hopefully we see more of Mamz this season, ideally as the 14 splitting minutes with Cook
