Rabbitohs Rumors, Signings and News

[Eric the great]

That's perfect once our full squad is back he can join the prop rotation

Do you think we will ever get our best squad on the paddock together hasn’t happened for two and a half years so I reckon it’s a big ask

 

[speedster]

It’s about time we found ourselves a big Fijian winger.

Pity he can't tackle but he goes good with ball in hand. We are short out wide of course, especially now Ty Ty has cracked again.

 

[speedster]

Who was our last one? Was it Haynes dad Manoa Thompson?

Edit ; I just remembered Lote Tuqiri

LOTE!!!!!!!!

Loved Lote. Premiership hero!

 

[speedster]

BTW, just noticed former Rabbitohs lower grader Brock Gray has popped up on the Titans bench for his 1st grade debut after all these years! Good on him.

Always thought he was worth a shot in our NRL side not that he's any world beater. Good luck to him.

 

[Hellray]

I hope its on minimum wage, he makes too many mistakes

Yeah I’m not fussed at all on this signing… lots of errors in his game and suspensions also because he is sloppy on defence.

although I also do understand our wing numbers are horrible atm so he is a number I guess

 

[speedster]

I tell you what though, any wingman would defend a lot better with one of the best defensive centres in the game inside him in Campbell Graham. He would need to learn quick smart to trust Graham to get his man and therefore not rush in to help which leaves his opposite number unmarked. With the long arms and legs of big Stretch beside you, you would be more confident in leaving him to it and would be under strict instructions from the coach to "stay out on your man son!"

Plus, we would finally have the heavy hit up man we need to help us out of our end that can also finish well in attack.

Wayne can polish any turd into a bit of a gem.

ive mentioned numerous amount of times for Souths to have a look at Ravawala and finally they have got there man.

As mentioned above, Campbell Graham in the centres next to Ravawala will fix his defensive deficiencies. Weve been dying for a massive meter eater winger to help our sets off.

Ive also been told that Ravawala was looking at leaving Rugby League altogether and going to play Rugby in France or Japan. So to actually end up Souths some smooth talking must have happened.

I hope they can sign him up for a couple of years. If they dont i hope they can snare Dom Young

Does this spell the writing on the wall for Johnston ? for 2026?

our full strength back lineup could be for 2025

1. Gray
2. Graham
3. Mitchell
4. Wighton
5. Ravawala

Typically a side has one speed winger on the left and one heavy ruck it up winger on the right. Rava won't be bumping AJ out of the side. Down the track, Munro will have to make it back and prove he can overcome his collar bone issues but AJ won't be going anywhere and will likely still be with us in 2026 but will be under threat from Ty Ty that's for sure. Injuries will continue to happen so added depth would be a welcome improvement.

My side would see
1 Mitchell
2 AJ
3 Wighton
4 Graham
5 Ravalawa

14 Gray

 

[Det.Wojciehowicz]

AJ is like Max. That wing spot is his as long as he wants it for. He has more than earned that loyalty from us.

 

[BotanyBorn&Bred]

hearing Dominic Young, might be on the outer at the Roosters.

Could be a good mid season signing for the Rabbiotohs.

Im hearing Rabbitohs are interested and would like to have talks with them.

Sam Burgess had him signed, sealed and delivered from the Knights to us.
But Demetriou got the shits and said no.
If you believe the rumours, this was one of the reasons there was a big falling out between Demetriou and Sam

Dud decision that by the former coach. Nuff said bout him!

But could we afford Young if we go for Ravalawa now? Bird in the hand n' all.

And what happens about Smith if we sign either of them?

I'm wondering if Rava can get signed to a 2nd tier contract and then play NRL? I expect the media might blow up about that but he wouldn't cost much plus there's only 2/3 of the nrl calendar year left.

Just my opinion, but if I was given a choice of just one of those guys, I'm going Brandon Smith.
A test level player, filling a need in a big hole we have in the roster, proven bull.
Of course, the biggest question marks will be how he pulls up after his type of injury, and then, to a lesser extent, motivation, but I'm less worried about that with Wayne at the helm

Smith all the way tripleb..

Same. But I would like a NSW Cup winger with NRL experience too if we could manage it. We are awfully thin out wide and any more injuries out there before our main guys return will be disastrous. We will be playing a couple of top 4 sides still missing Latrell, AJ, Munro, Aitken, Mellars. At least Jack will be back next week.

Except this time, this rumour was reported repeatedly by the Telegraph and Fox before and after the bust up, and Sam getting shipped off.
I think it was Hooper reporting it, he usually has had good mail with Souths because he doesn't dog them.
