Ok well that free's up quite a few dollars. Let's be clever in who we pick, not another Mortimer type.

The rumour is the club called in the side 2 days after mad Monday to sign memorabilia, but it was actually drug testers. Barba was apparently the first one there and he shot a message to the rest of them and not many else turned up. He took a bullet for the team is what I'm hearing.

Don't be surprised if you find out that Barba failed another drug test during the final series.

Everything is okay we will get Benny back on one of those ay-proved NRL Gasnier type contracts.

1st half of a contract season (rd 13 on 2017) - sign for a $1.67 and pie. Backend it for four seasons and then only play him for three seasons.

It worked for the stinking stains.

I can't help but think that this is a bigger problem than we have been told. I just don't see us punting our best (or close to it) player for doing a line of blow on Mad Monday.

What I can tell you all including Billy Sultanas is that it is rife through every club. They all do including whatever team is unfortunate enough to have Billy Bird Seed as a fan (wonder if he / she is even member of its club). The shit that is swept under the carpet by those behind the scenes at the NRL would curl your hair. What I love is the club has taken a stand and dealt with it.

why wouldn't i?

your membership numbers have been awful for years, not nearly the same as the big clubs

your crowds have been crap for years, i mean you can only, with great discomfort, fit about 20k max in anyway

as for culture???..you have one junior in your whole squad, you've been busted as a club for systematic doping, you've had players who drink their own pis in public, glass girlfriends, & then theres Fifita, & thats only the last few years

shambles shonkies
I'll start with a Souffs favourite:
Schlossy's shoe
John Sutton/Luke Burgess
Russell Crowe's phone

Absolutely it's rife throughout the game from players to the bean counters. My old footy club had a sportsmans lunch a few months back. The former NRL player and now media personality spent more time in the cubicles then he did on the stage. Not bad for a 3k attendance fee!

that drug cloud just won't leave Woolooware
Souffs the first major drug scandal in Rugby League


What if the difference between losing and winning was more than training hard and playing smart? What if there were other forces at play, too difficult to overcome? What if one catastrophic event created an inescapable cycle of failure?

“ The Rabbitohs have finished in the bottom three 14 times in 18 seasons since winning the 1989 minor premiership. ”

For South Sydney, that event took place 20 years ago when the club became embroiled in rugby league’s first major drugs scandal, an event that coincided with their infamous slide from minor premiers in 1989 to wooden spooners 12 months later.

The club had already lost 10 of their opening 12 matches by the time the Australian Sports Drug Agency stormed a Rabbitohs training session on June 18, 1990, to conduct tests on 36 players.

But that afternoon marked the moment an out-of-sorts club plunged into dark decline.

The Rabbitohs would not win another game in 1990; and by the end of June, it was revealed that 10 players had tested positive to drugs.

What followed was a full-scale implosion, as those inside the club searched for people to blame; the sacking of implicated fullback Scott Wilson led to legal action against South Sydney.

All downhill ... Souths fell hard.



By season’s end, Souths were propping up the table with a measly four competition points as iconic players Mario Fenech, Les Davidson and Phil Blake led an exodus from a club now in financial ruin.

Interesting

help me here, aren't they the most successful rugby league club ever?
I do believe they have the largest number of members?
I also suspect that they have the most lucrative sponsorship portfolios of at least all the NSW clubs

hmmm, oh well

Billy can you just piss off. You aren't adding anything in here. You are just acting like a child for the sake of it. I'm embarrassed for you.

BTW billy is a rooster
Nah Billy is a faarrkked up Souffs supporter. It would seem that both our teams have won one premiership in the last 50 odd years Billy. How did you enjoy 2016 as a Rabbits fan Billy.....back to your usual position at the arse end of the ladder. Meanwhile the Sharkies won 15 straight on the way to being premiers....Up Up Cronulla!
