2024 Rabbitohs Rumors, Signings and News

[themacemaceman]

He can take him,but i doubt he would get the 500k he would get from us, i still think he could transition into a good 9, and when fit id give him a go in regis

Illias might just need a new head coach. He has had 1 in his whole first grade career and that was JD.
And to be fair the whole team sucked under JD.
I think there will be a club willing to take a shot at a cheap half who was a win away from and grand final and also in a team leading the Comp half way through a season.
JD sacked illias to save his own skin . It’s unfortunate that then he broke his leg. Hornby could of had him back in the team for all we know if it wasn’t for the injury

You need someone with sharp acceleration as well as guile and deception out of dh to be a good hooker and I'm not sure they are Ilias' main attributes. Good defender and good short kicking game and I guess could whip an accurate pass from the ground if he trained to do it long enough but speed off the mark or tricking his way to getting the jump on the markers is not his thing.

 

[BotanyBorn&Bred]

I know he is untried in that position but his defence is excellent, is very tough,throws an excellent pass and reads the game well. I don’t think any half back would do any good if his forwards played like ours were at the beginning of the year.

Yep, the forwards going forward is the key.

Handy I know uve been on here for years and your only one of the very very few that I admire your input on here.in saying that I like ilias he is a good kid and yes he tries very very hard but he was a flop at #7 he was all over the park tackling shoe laces ile give him that he did try much harder than some other players in our team when he was half back his level of play aint much better than that flop of a past winger we had called jaxson paulo we crazily let taane milne play mostly in the regis whilst paulo fumbled balls most games and was a dud buy. But getting back to ilias he aint no reyno or dce or sam walker or hunt and I very doubt he would be as good as our past #9 apisai koroisau or our current #9 Damien cook .handy ilias might transition into a very good #9 but for myself we need to buy a proven performer at #9 with a track record as you know good guys finish last and I believe ilias is a good guy cheers mate.

In terms of our past #9, you forgot Isaac Luke, who I personally think was the best hooker we ever had, with the possible exception of Mario Fenech

 

[BotanyBorn&Bred]

Handy its a shame that cookie has gone to stmerge becoz humpreys can play either at hooker or if needed in the halves if injuries occur he has a good boot too.why let cookie go makes no sense to me.

Because he's getting old, and his D has been deteriorating for a while now, but this year has been particularly bad

Yeah, could very well be possible.
A possible analogy is Tom Deardon.
The Broncos gave up on him, he'd only ever had their coach, he moves away, and now look at him

I know the Broncos got their eye on Sam Walker to come over to them, but I bet they are wishing the never let Deardon go.
And going back to @Bobby Moses comment, when Deardon was there, the forward pack was garbage. What could a decent half do with that chite forward pack?
