Whats happened ,hunt signing with the broncos is a travesty of justice, we got questioned by the nrl about signing whighton on a cheaper deal than he was offered elsewere, now weve all heard how the cap is so stretched at the broncos and they cant afford selwyn etc etc, now theyve found 550k for hunt and no peep from the nrl ,there is a paper bag here somewere,what a joke,talk about stacking the deck,and we cant afford a prop or winger and we have a few unsigned
He must be a bennet appointee so bennet must have some faith,and if he is a mongrel,good, the players need someone biting their heelsA concerning signing for Sths,IMO, is the Head of Performance coach Trent "Peptides " ELKIN--he was in the peptides saga at the Sharks up to his eyeballs & was told at the time he'd never coach in the NRL again--from all reports he is a nasty character even telling a female photographer to "Get f---ed."
exactly the right type of man we need.He must be a bennet appointee so bennet must have some faith,and if he is a mongrel,good, the players need someone biting their heels
It’s a long pre season. Maybe they ripping into the gym and weights and that side of it more so than catching and passing footballs.exactly the right type of man we need.

BENNETT’S BIG-NAME SIGNING HITLIST
Wayne Bennett officially returns to South Sydney on Monday and at the top of the priority list will be what to do with the money freed up by Lachlan Ilias’ move to the Dragons.
It’s no secret the injury Cam Murray picked up playing for Australia at the Pacific Nations has only intensified the Rabbitohs’ urgency to add to their forwards stocks.
And they’d love to bring in a player to add a bit more mongrel to their pack, which has been missing ever since Sam Burgess’ retirement.
It remains to be seen if the Rabbitohs will also apply for a salary cap relief to help cover the loss of Murray, who is expected to be sidelined for at least the first two months of the season.
The two names that are getting mentioned are Matt Lodge and Brandon Smith, while unwanted Tiger John Bateman is the other big-name forward still looking for a new home.
All three would bring much-needed aggression to the Rabbitohs.
While Smith would be ideal if the Roosters were to consider releasing him from the final year of his deal, the issue for the Rabbitohs is that the star Kiwi will be sitting out half the season as he recovers from knee surgery.
That’s probably why Souths couldn’t afford to take Smith on, which makes Lodge the most likely - although it still wouldn’t shock me to see Bateman end up at the Bunnies, despite all the previous denials.
l would not touch Bateman. He is a goon.As for recruits, Bateman is way too pricey and hasn't done anything since his first couple of seasons with Canberra which was ages ago. The game has moved on and if we are to look for another edge man, it should be a big mobile type like Haumole or Katoa.
Brandon Smith? I think we wait until he's fit around mid-season and then his price will be less than half of a full year so we could then make him an offer. But not now. We'd be paying more while he sits things out. No club should want to do that. Wait and see with him.
And Lodge - is affordable and likely. Not sure who else is available as far as big middles are concerned. I expect Wayne will bring him on board shortly.
Brad, to be honest, Ilias is NOT in the same boat as Keary. He simply does not have the speed, aggressive intent with ball, cadence and awareness that Keary displayed when Maguire first introduced him to A Grade. Ilias may do well at St George, but he will never be a standout like Keary was for 5-6 seasons.I think Illias has something and am afraid of the Keary effect
they do arse all at south’s then go to another team and put us to the sword
