Peachey to Souths

[Frenzy.]

I thought Peach said he would never play for another NRL side?

He has always said as much but I read somewhere he had a chat to Lance Thompson about it and came away feeling better about the prospect of moving on.

 

[Sheros los Deros]

Good luck to peach. I would have preffered it if he finished up at the Sharks

 

[givmeabeer]

Would be good to see Peppy back

 

[Nullajet]

It will be painful watching him in the souths jersey but at least we will get to watch him!!!!


I will have a new second fav team.....(sorry panthers)

 

[sharkadelic]

It just wouldnt seem right......

The Peach belongs in black, blue and white!

Wish you all the best Peach. Hope you end your career on a high.
Mcrae still can't get consistency with his half and 5/8 so Peach will be invaluable in that area, getting his hands on the ball and floating around. Will take a heap of pressure of those young 5/8's in the opposition's half.

Whatever he brings to the team will be more than matched by what he offers to the young Aboriginals in the district. The bloke will have tremendous respect in the area and will be keen to utilised I'd imagine.

Those blokes on that shopping list...Souths will get none.
It's a fact of life, if you have more than 2-3 years left in your career, you don't go to Souths. It's a superannuation home where you get a few extra dollars before you retire - Fletcher, Mellor, Galuvao, Cusack, Peachy.
They will not sign the Orfords, Anastas, Matuias, Pritchards, etc.

They might get Bird if they are serious, because there wouldn't be much of a bidding war - and if there is, they will definately be prepared to pay more than the Lithgow Shamrocks.
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

The Shamrocks????:?

They went belly up years ago.The only team in Lithgow are the reigning group 10 champions the Workies Wolves.

Well, sounds like the Wolves don't need him.
Souths here he comes.

Greenfield is a titan IMA

Titans just signed Richie Mathers to play Fullback. I reckon Clint will stick it out with the Saints, he's probably got a better chance of cracking it there then at the Titans. If Head moves on Hornby might stay at halfback permanently.

 

[MusiC FreaK]

As much as I hate seeing Peachey in opposition to the Sharks, as I'm sure we all are, I wish him all the best and I know he'll play extremely well for whichever club he plays for.

Go the Peach!

 

[camir21]

Peachey in another teams jersey doesn't look right especially when it is a South Sydney one.

:lol:

Read the name again dood.

 

[carinashark]

Good news for Souths. But Ill stay with Simmo thanks. Great game tonight, he just improves.

 

[Card Shark]

Souths suck!
Peach, dont stoop to this level.
Leave the game with dignity - you deserve it.

 

[shark_girl]

It will break my heart to see him wearing another teams jersey. I'll always see him as a Shark, but at least he gets another shot I suppose...

Hope he does well.

Souths issue Peachey lifeline
By James Hooper
May 27, 2006

SOUTH Sydney is poised to throw sacked English Super League fullback and former NRL star David Peachey a career lifeline for the remainder of 2006.

Despite having turned 32 last January, Peachey will hold contract talks with Souths supremos today to finalise terms on joining the Rabbitohs.
The Saturday Daily Telegraph understands that Souths will offer Peachey match payments of $2000 for each NRL appearance.

The shock move from Souths completes a dramatic month for Peachey, who was dumped by Widnes a fortnight ago after returning to Australia to visit his terminally-ill father.

Rabbitohs chief executive Shane Richardson refused to be drawn on the possible recruitment of Peachey last night, but the move is understood to be a formality.

Once Peachey signs, the former Sharks star will be eligible to play for the Rabbitohs after being registered with the NRL.

Souths meet Canberra next Saturday, with Peachey a possibility of wearing the famous red-and-green jersey in the national capital.

Retired Rabbitohs fullback Eric Simms last night endorsed the Peachey SOS as Souths continue to search for a watershed win in 2006.

"It would be a good move," Simms said.
"He's still got plenty of life left in him yet. "He'll be a handy acquisition until the end of the season.
"It might make Souths liven up a bit in the second round. They showed a bit of promise there the other day."

Souths legend John Sattler was another Rabbitohs great prepared to support the Peachey push, suggesting the veteran fullback was still capable of making a contribution in the NRL.

"He's always been a pretty good club man so I think he would be handy for Souths," Sattler said.

Souths are also poised to step up their 2007 recruitment drive, with New Zealand Test centre Nigel Vagana on top of the club's latest shopping list.
The Saturday Daily Telegraph understands the Rabbitohs are desperate to lure Roy Asotasi, Reni Maitua, Frank Pritchard and Greg Bird.

Peachey was sacked from his $200,000-a-season deal with division one English outfit Widnes in England after the Vikings appointed a new chairman.
The Saturday Daily Telegraph has learned that Peachey was sacked in part because he had made more than one mercy dash home to be at his sick father's bedside.

The Rabbitohs opportunity comes eight months after Peachey lashed out at the Sharks for refusing to offer him another season in the NRL, claiming the club was disloyal.

The Daily Telegraph

It's a good match.
He'll feel right at home.
Souths are 0-11

But do Souths realise that he knocked on many doors before he decided to knock on theirs?

I hope Nathan Brown didn't shut the door too hard in his face......

 

[Stonecutter]

Peachey is Souths last chance to get a win this season, can't see them win without the Peach's brilliance.
