Rabbitohs Rumors, Signings and News

[themacemaceman]

Sullivan should start out as our NSW Cup halfback and show that he has been learning and improving the parts of his game Wayne has told him to fix. In time, he could well get his chance in 1sts and be more than just a flash in the pan if he listens.

Was just talking to a St George supporting Dad at my son’s school. Said Sullivan was very talented
Coming through the ranks. Half back of winning sides in SG Ball etc. Just about every club was after him when he signed his first contract.
Let’s hope the old coach takes him to another level.

Issue has always been he’s so injury prone thus far and defence leaves a lot to be desired.

Obviously Wayne sees something in him.

Thompson set to sign with Raiders I predicted that. He played some juniors down there. 800k a season apparently

The raiders have an awesome pack but I think 800k a season is way overs. He's not even close to an origin forward.

The Raiders seem to always have a fairly decent pack. They’re cranky coach just can’t seem to get the beat out of them.

Would you bust your arse just to please Sticky? I think not.

Yeah I'd say it's hard for them to attract star players just because of the location. They'll probably win games off the back of their massive forward pack though.

I would still rather live in Canberra than a hole like Penriff.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Good luck to Bud, I hope he goes well for you guys. There’s clearly some attacking talent there, if Wayne can teach him to tackle (he is horrendous) then he’ll be on the way to something useful.

Fairly frosty and cold in the capitol

Yeah but you don't have to put up with bogan Penriff mouthbreathers.

Fair point

well looks like the writing is on the wall for Emre Guler at raiders

would love for him to return back home to rabbitohs.

Big boy, big motor, can play big mins as a prop just not being utilised correctly by Ricky who has him as a impact player.

His role as a prop is to play big mins. Easily could get 60-65 mins out of him. Wont break the bank also.

Yeah I agree would love to see Guler come back and play for the bunnies.

my concern would be the bulldogs and their apparent open wallet blowing our offer out of the park

Would be good to get guler back but I don’t think he will be going anywhere in the short term as Thompson is heading to raiders in 2026

South Sydney’s continued run of bad luck with injuries has struck again, this time with new recruit Euan Aitken expected to miss at least the first month of the season.

Aitken now joins skipper Cameron Murray and prop Tevita Tatola as a trio of South Sydney forwards unlikely to start in March.

Aitken has had surgery to repair a long-term issue with his shoulder dating back seasons.

As a result, Aitken will miss at least the first month of South Sydney’s premiership campaign – and potentially faces a longer stint on the sideline.

He missed the back end of the 2024 season because of a torn pectoral, but this is a different issue.

The Rabbitohs are privately resigned to missing their new recruit for at least the first four matches, but that could be extended as the club await final results to determine how long he will be sidelined with fears it may be longer.

Aitken joined South Sydney on a three-year deal after following coach Wayne Bennett from the Dolphins. He had been slated to start on an edge for South Sydney’s round one clash against his former club.

Murray is also facing an uphill battle to be right to start the season.

Murray recently had the cast on his wrist removed and is now running with the team but is unable to do any contact training.

The club will have a more definitive answer on his return to play by the end of January. Murray had surgery to repair an injured wrist after injuring himself playing for the Kangaroos at the end of season Pacific Championships.

South Sydney’s returning players are tracking a little better after they had a disastrous injury run in 2024.

Campbell Graham, who missed the entire year, is tracking nicely for a round one comeback while prop Tevita Tatola, who played just six games, is slowly getting back into full fitness and is eyeing a return towards the start of the year

 

[Det.Wojciehowicz]

Damn! We can't take a trick. Although it's heartening to read that Stretch is tracking to return in Round 1.

Makes you wonder why he didn't get his shoulder fixed while he was out with the pec. Anyhow, at least we haven't lost 2 players within a week to season ending ACLs like the Cows just have.

She'll be right. Schuster and Fletcher, maybe Lovett too should be sniffing a great opportunity to get their names advanced in the pecking order to start the year.

If Host is in the 17 I’ll blow a gasket
