When St George won 11 in a row
RIP MamouzelosBrandon Smith’s playing future in the NRL looks to be decided, with the Roosters hooker expected to land at South Sydney.

It was reported last week that Smith could leave the Roosters before his deal runs out at season’s end, and it seems like the Rabbitohs are the frontrunner for his signature.
Now, Fox League’s James Hooper reported on NRL 360 on Wednesday night that the Bunnies are “absolutely having a look” at Smith.
Hooper added that the idea of sending Smith to South Sydney was first floated in the middle of the 2024 season but that Roosters supremo Nick Politis shot it down.
“Absolutely no way, he’s not going to Souths,” Politis said, according to Hooper.
“But I get the impression as though that tune might have changed a little bit now.”
The Daily Telegraph’s David Riccio said Hooper’s mail was “spot on”, adding that the “increasing talk” in the NRL is that Smith is set to sign with South Sydney.
“He’s on his way there,” Riccio said.
“That’s the discussion.”
Riccio said on NRL 360 last week in Vegas that the Smith signing is one the Roosters “no doubt regret” and given Trent Robinson wasn’t able to get the best out of him, the Daily Telegraph journalist questioned whether the “risk” was worth it for the Rabbitohs.
“I’m not 100 per cent sure on the salary that is being put forward, but for me it’s still a risk and when you think about South Sydney’s situation,” he said.
“They’re backing Peter Mamouzelos to play in the dummy-half role, Siliva Havili is that rotating dummy-half, plays a little power forward like Brandon does.
“But for everything we’ve spoken about the Roosters, we’ve spoken about the recruitment, they got this one wrong. So, why is it going to be right at South Sydney?”
Smith is reportedly on $800,000 a season, although the Roosters would have to end up wearing some of that money even if he signed with the Rabbitohs.
And yet, head to head in all games v Damien Cooke as the opposing 9, he is 6-0 and has destroyed him
Trouble is we have limited cash and he may be offered more elsewere,the only reason he may accept less is his girlfriend works in the eastern suburbs
Maybe a back ended deal, or player option.
Back to the 80s would be OK with me--when it was still RL !!
Why not the late 60s and early 70s when we won 4 out of 5 grandfinals
He'll be back to the bench but hopefully by then, his game will have grown having started for half the season and it will become a really good 1-2 punch.
You are a brain dead
