Yeah, I rate Lazarus the best, aswell. Also rate Chief over Price, too.

Chief was good but was fortunate to play with two good partners throughout his career. Mark Sargent and Tony Butterfield did the hard yards while Chief got the attention. without those two Chief wouldn't be looked upon as fondly in my opinion.

The South Sydney Rabbitohs have announced the signing of International Michael Crocker until the end of the 2012 season.
Crocker is signing a 3½ year contract today, joining the Rabbitohs squad immediately. He will be available for selection to play against the Wests Tigers next weekend.
Crocker, 28, brings a wealth of experience to the Rabbitohs pack, having played in ten State of Origin matches for Queensland, six Tests for Australia, and almost 150 NRL games including five grand final appearances for two premiership victories.
Crocker is widely regarded as one of the toughest and competitive players in Rugby League, with Rabbitohs CEO Shane Richardson saying Crocker will be a valuable asset to the Club.
“Michael Crocker is a winner and will add starch to our already-strong forward pack,” Mr Richardson said.
“Michael has been training at NRL level since the season finished last year, so he will be fit and available to play next weekend.
“We’re looking forward to seeing Michael in the red and green and I know our Members are as well. He will complement our other players with international experience such as Roy Asotasi, Issac Luke, Craig Wing, David Fa’alogo and David Kidwell with his tough, uncompromising style of play.
“To pick up a player of his ability and experience at this time of year is wonderful and we welcome Michael Crocker to our Club.”
Crocker says he is pleased to be able to start playing Rugby League again with the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
“I am really happy to have my future sorted out. It has been a long drawn out process and I am looking forward to getting back into a routine and also back onto the field,” Crocker said.

”The Rabbitohs are a club with a proud history and an exciting future. This squad is definitely a title contender. I am looking forward to playing alongside them and learning from Jason Taylor and Gorden Tallis.”
Rabbitohs Head Coach Jason Taylor is looking forward to seeing Crocker in action next week.
“Michael will begin training with us on Monday and we’re looking forward to including him in our squad,” Taylor said.
“Everyone knows what kind of player he is and it’s his aggression and skill that we are most pleased about having in our side.
“I’m excited that we are able to add another representative forward to our pack for this season and we welcome Michael on board.”

According to 9 news they have confirmed Souths have signed David Taylor for 3 years from 2010.

Good signing depending how he turns out. He's got all the potentional, but I take it the Broncos coaching staff believe he's not always committed to doing the hard stuff which is why he finds himself in the Qld Cup. He'll either be a massive success or an epic failure at Souths.

South Sydney sign Brisbane Broncos forward David Taylor for 2010

By staff writers
May 12, 2009 The NRL's hottest off-contract property has finally settled on a new home, Brisbane Broncos forward David Taylor agreeing to terms with South Sydney for 2010.
Speculation has been rife over the 20-year-old prop's future since before a ball was kicked in 2009 with the Rabbitohs making their intentions clear from the outset.

Taylor's 119kg frame and exceptional speed have made him a unique prospect, however questions still remain over his fitness and ability to last for extended stints on the field since the reduction in interchange numbers.

A junior of the Blackwater club in central Queensland, Taylor debuted for the Broncos in 2007, making an immediate impact and being earmarked as a representative player of the future.

“He was really enthusiastic about putting in a strong year for the Roosters and leaving the club on a successful note.
