I really liked what I saw from Latrell kicking in general play last year too putting up some booming kicks and gaining great height and length on them. Wighton too to a lesser extent. Should have happened much sooner. It was a breath of fresh air after the ordinary long kicking game of Ilias and Hawkins.

With Dodd there, I hope to see an improved kicking game, which wouldn't be hard, but even if he goes well with the boot, I still hope to see Latrell's booming boot utilised also. Some of his bombs were Burton-like and could not be taken by the poor opposing fullback.

Trell can certainly send it up to the stratosphere. Opposing fullbacks must dread having to take one of his rainmakers. With a bit of Arnold polish he can certainly become one of the best exponents of the high kick in the game.

Tbh I’m not surprised at this looks like Brent Read was wrong.

Rabbitohs captain Cameron Murray has been cleared to play by his surgeon but is still suffering pain in his wrist and doesn’t want to rush back too early and risk any set backs. Cam told Christian Nicolussi from the Sydney Morning Herald -

“I still don’t know if I’ll play. I really want to. As much as I want to be out there, the smart thing would be to not rush it, and not re-injure or re-damage anything in there because my rehab has already been a slow process, and I don’t want to go through it again. I’ll work hard and try to do everything I can, but it’s a case of wait and see.”

This would be the pack if Murray, Tatola, Aitken, Schuster and Shaq are unavailable.

Hmmm Host might be fit by then but I want him left right out.

Is Wayne Bennett planning to pull of one of his daring gambles in the very first game of his return stint as South Sydney coach?

Everyone expects Bennett to play English import Lewis Dodd in the key halfback role in the opening round of the premiership next month.

But insiders at Souths have told Wide World of Sports that little-known Jamie Humphreys has also been training in the number seven jumper and could beat Dodd to the punch.


An off-season signing from Manly, Humphreys played one game for the Sea Eagles last season and shone in the 44-6 win over the Knights, scoring the first try.


Jamie Humphreys, then of the Sea Eagles, poses with his father Stephen Humphreys after his 2024 NRL debut against the Knights.

Dodd is rated a fair player but may take time to adapt to the pace of the NRL compared to Super League.

The pair are both likely to be given a run in the trials starting this weekend - but don't be surprised if Bennett gives the 22-year-old rookie - grandson of former league boss Kevin Humphreys - the early nod.
