2024 Rabbitohs Rumors, Signings and News

[Hellray]

He is on 850k not affordable

He would have signed that when he was deemed a nsw rep also though, so maybe now his brother is deemed better he may be willing or be resigned to taking a pay cut

NO SHOWS: George Burgess’ A-grade debut with South Eastern will have to wait after Redfern All Blacks only had SIX players show upWho would seriously want to tackle big Georgie Boy

Unless newcastle pay some freight

That's what they're saying. Today they're saying he's on $750k and the Knights are likely to pay some of that to get their cap into shape after they picked up Peter O'Sullivan (unfortunately) and he is looking to perform serious surgery on their cap. They're looking to offload Brailey as well they reckon.

Channel 9 reporting South’s have signed Melbourne Storm youngster Devonte Vaotu’ua to a 3yr deal.

Can play lock or prop and his style and work ethic has been likened to that of cam Murray

18yr old has been rated “very special talent”

dont know whos doing souths recruiting but to me a player from Melb Storm Nursery, and after watching highlights of him... not exactly going to set the world on fire...

650k is significant coin,we are looking at cheaper options probably in the 4to500k
Debelin would at this age be looking at 350,hunt maybe 450 to 500

Don’t we need more middles atm rather than edge players?

But I will agree with it’s somewhat concerning that we haven’t been mentioned with any of these players being shopped around the league

Yeah Phil Gould and his salary cap surely is stretched to the limit

Wouldn't be surprised if we snare some talent from the Q Cup considering Wayne is up there and would have some news about who's doing well up there.

Wayne will attract the players we need in good time.

Good point, well spotted.
Well spotted in the sense of you all need to quit whinging about "oh get this dude no get that one, I want him... he is more Salary Cap friendly".
Last May the club was 8-3 and had thumped virtually all in front of them. Hence, the existing roster merely needs some tweeking, not panic purchases. The Coach had no idea how to manage big name players and got caught out.
We have young Moale and Kelpie is also quite young. Koloamatangi will likely too become and 8 or 10, then there is Mitchell's frere. Plus Burt will develop others, as yet unexposed. Gray can become a bench #9 very dangerous when opponents fatigue.
There is also young Duncan, who under the Legend will likely become explosive, one can see the potential. Le Blanc is a hard grafter, as is Aiken if imported. Others will emerge, look at what Burt got out of a crock in Ethan lowe even had him winning in the backline!!
None of you goons bother about Campbell Graham. Yet this man is absolutely irreplaceable. He along with Tom B, has been our best the past two seasons, excluding the current one. His return is shrouded in mystery and it makes me very concerned. You all should be. Graham is a class player who is a leader, home grown and we cannot replace him.

Brenda Gould is going nowhere with Canterbury. Repeat nowhere. They need a lot more from Kikau but he is often missing. He fails to intimidate as he did at Penrith for seasons. Their halves are not scary. Addo-Carr's flag is always down, always injured. He should have joined us and played with guys he loves. Who are their prop forwards?
Canterbury are a stick - on Foreign Legion that Beau Geste would be proud to lead. A Foreign Legion that in the end, is going nowhere.

Gray is not a nine,get it through ur head,if anyone, duncan eould make a good 9

Put them on ignore handy I did long ago.

 

[Hellray]

I would still like to try and convert Ilias into a 9. He has the passing skills and the defence needed to be successful.
Him and humphries (when announced) could be a solid 2 options with Pete still here for another season also

I have thought about using Gray in the #14 jumper ahead of Mamo where he may need to slot into dh but more than likely comes on as an additional running threat somewhere through the middle the way Benji and Nikorima were used. This year anyway, Cook is still capable of playing 80 and Mamo could get better playing longer minutes in reggies in prep for possibly being our starting hooker next year instead of doing precious little at the backend of games in 1sts.

But I wouldn't consider Gray a #9 if he plays #14 even if he does slot in there for a few minutes. He is a spine player that could do a good job anywhere in the spine if called upon.
