2025 preseason Charity Shield - Vs Dragons

....and theres the old SSR back again. That didn't last long.

Well he’s got a point.

He’s been a catastrophic signing for you in many ways.

He’s been on his last chance for many seasons.

At the end of the day, the club is responsible. They all mean well, but there’s some slow learners in there.

I get that. It's just the incessant negativity. After his comment on Mamo I thought he was mellowing a bit.

He’s been a gentleman to me and well thought of in his travels around the forum.

Once the season starts, we can focus on the game I suppose.

 

[Det.Wojciehowicz]

Just a shame that he's got all his fellow Bunny fans so offside. He just needs to alter his approach a bit here on the Souths forum.

 

[Souths Till I Die]

STID centres..

Very good ball playing, very good at running lines and a massive boot. Sounds like a 6 to me SSR

TSP it just goes to show you that souths are clueless and don't do their homework why pay 2.1m for dud dodd when we got humpreys..souths ceo needs to be sacked Mr silly solly and bring back Shane richardson ffs..

I hope bennett takes control fully on who we buy and who we sack for the past 5+ years its been very poor recruiting..

I haven’t seen enough of Dodd to comment, but Latrell is on marquee money and the expectation is that he plays more than a handful of games per season.

In terms of expectations, I think Solly has been failing. The roster has been going backwards and inexcusably so because you aren’t stacked with Marquee.

JD will most likely never be seen again polite coaching circles.

Benny offers the main glimmer of hope after the recent injury tragedy to cam.

But he doesn’t come cheaply.

I expect nothing this year our signings are a failure and as you said has gone back wards the past 5 yrs its inexcusable to have dodd the dud here on 2.1m when humphreys is a better #7 im really over the past 5yrs at recruitment solly + ello + the whole boardroom need sacking its time for change and get rid of trellmyth the myth adds nothing to our club..no balls in this club where is rusty and co? Asleep at the wheel I reckon..Bennett must be desperate to had gone to souths too many dumb dumbs run the club/recruitment..

 

[southsydneyrabbitohs]

Many on here can't see it i suggest they all go to specsavers or put up with mediocre standards from top to bottom in our once great club..

There hasn’t been too many good decisions since Richo left and that was a fall out wasn’t it?

Which is not to say he’s correct in everything, far from it, but he has some basic formulas that seem to work most of the time.

I only seem to see Solly on mainstream media when he’s making another excuse for something.

Recruitment- simply not enough marquee or spread. Reliance on inconsistent players. Next big things failing and playing worse th

I was critical of Wighton but he shut me up, that’s fine, but he deserves more.

Your young fullback, he’s looking the goods as he builds, but hopefully injury doesn’t get him or he’s snapped up.

He can only do so much. I like to give the kids a while to settle in.

You’re in for an interesting season, Wayne brings most youngsters through but not everyone will make it.

I talk from experience following wests tigers, up until recently, appalling recruitment, bad management, whole club on the matey. Nightmare stuff.

 

[Det.Wojciehowicz]

Mate, all clubs make mistakes but we stuffed up royally with the Reyno situation. We are very much paying the price for that.

Yeah, there was a feeling that the club needed to transition and yes it did, but one does that very carefully.

You don’t gamble with the one of the best players in the game (which he was), apart from the loyalty and sheer talent he has.

As a kid, back in day, remember he came to grade early and he was a revelation. And that calmness v SGI in that final,he took control. That was a huge game for cam too. The game on the line, he steals the ball back. Unbelievable footy.

Everything south’s stood for was in that game. I can’t remember if lats played, probably not.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

I read Merro was arrested for some DV thing. That probably symbolises the current dark days. Presumed innocent of course.

I suppose a lot of marquee struggle post career. KT the hardest example to swallow.

That tribute to him, the sattler memorial, you can do this stuff the best in the game. Need all that talent thrust into the side.
