Awesome article in todays Sun-Herald.
Souths acknowledge their great players from the past as well as any club. There was a lovely tribute to the late,great John Sattler after the teams captains run on Friday.It has been two years since Sattler's passing and in that timethe Rabbitohs have moved to Heffron Park in Maroubra.
Previouslysome of Sattler's ashes had been spread on Redfern Oval. On Friday, some were spread on their new training groundin the presence of John's son Scott.The player who had the honour of doing that was Cam Murray.
Sattler loved the No. 13 red and green jumper which Murray wears.Those who were there said it meant the world to Murray. "I honestly had forgotten that the club still has some of his ashes and when Blake Solly called two weeks ago asking if they could spread them at Heffron,I was a little overwhelmed Scott said. "His words on the day were beautiful regarding Dad, and when I saw Cam there, I thought it would be fitting that a Bunnies kid who wears 13 and captains the club, but also epitomises what the club represents,would be what Dad would appreciate.He handled it like the true champion he is."
Murray said he was deeply honoured to play a role. "John Sattler is a towering figure at our club," he said "He set a standard for what it means to be a Rabbitoh that we all try to live up to."
