THE HEAT IS ON, at the end of the day we are all speculating, us the press everyone.
Broncos know and once the hammer drops the ball will roll, the 4 coaches all want the job because as a 1 city team they have money recourses and players.
We gave seibs the chance and opportunity, if he shows no loyalty, then he is a degenerate human, until we know we just have to squirm
I’m appalled in Siebs.

He’s pretty much stuck his finger up at us. He was never a Souths man not properly going off his body langauage and all.

We gave him his chance too.

Absolutely agree. I’m still pissed off that they let that f**kwit Crighton spend last season in our jersey. Shoulda f**ked him off from the start.

Seibold was a nobody. No one else was gonna give him a start. He used us so he can well and truly f**k off.
Couldn’t have put it better.

Cookie goes on the open market next week wakey wakey Souths ffs...

Sutto won’t do pre seesson training without a contract too. If we don’t renew Sutto I’ll be so livid.

If we were to snag TPJ for 2019 I can’t see Sutts renewed. It’s sad but it could be the price we have to pay.

I really want Sutto to go around again. Maybe if we release AJ and risk having a light on backline then we can have both TPJ and Sutto.

If we got 3 injuries say in the backs maybe we would have to rely on this guy for a bit who has just popped into my head realising he’s staying in Gagan. Even Connor Tracey could probably fill in at centre. They reckon defensively he’s reasonably sound.

If Kennar were to stay on cheap money I would keep him too.

You’d think AJ is on about 400k so you’d hope Canberra pay most of that just giving us enough for Sutto.

With all the upgrades we seem to have to make they had better get moving.

No news of upgrades to either of Cookie, Murray or Jennings.

It’s also been rumoured that combined Turner and Musgrove are taking up 700k combined. No one wants to take either of them. So we are stuck with them both.

If Musgrove can stay fit and Bennett can stop him from throwing his potential away my hope is we see a new and invigorated Musgrove and a changed man as well. It’s possible I reckon.

As for Turner once Gallen did that to him that was about it. From memory he didn’t miss any games did Gallen. It still disgusts me to this day tbh.

The more I think about Bennett, the happier I feel about it. When I first read the article about Seibold confirming he's going, my first thought was that this sets us back a year because we're gonna have to go through a rookie coach again.

However, with Wayne, it's the complete opposite and maybe it won't set us back at all. Of course there's the chance it won't work out but this could be a great thing for our club.

It has to happen for 2019 though!

The only niggle in the back of my mind is his age. He’s about to tick the oldometer over to 70. But I still think there’s some new tricks in the old dog. It’s kinda mind blowing that over a career of 800+ NRL games he has a win rate of 62% though.

Here’s that cut and paste I was SMSed yesterday from another forum. Now I don’t agree with the assessment and I’m sure you won’t as well, but it gives a snap shot of where we are at before silly season starts. PS I don’t know how reliable this persons sources are but it does contain some rumors.

RABBITOHS 2019 ROSTER:
# Press "like" to be automatically updated when New Information is added.
Updated: October 18th, 2018

Souths currently now have 33 players signed up for 2019 in which 29 players will definitely be in our Top 30.

Players signed but may NOT be in our Top 30...
These players may well be on Development and/or 2nd tier Contracts
D Hawkins, Josh Cook, LK Taavale, K Rodwell,

PLEASE NOTE:
Now that the Rabbitohs are having our own ISP and U20s teams confirmed we will need to increase our contracted players from 40 contracted players to about 60 players.

These Players were extended for 1 more season for 2019 to see how they can back up into the NRL Full-Time Squad
J Gagan, B Burns, C Tracey, T Tatola, P Nicholls.

I just wonder if any players from Norths will revert back to our club?
Possible players trialling for a contract.
* Viliami Kaveinga Norths (Train and Trial 2019)
* Billy Brittain (Train and Trial 2019)
* K Koloamatangi Norths (Train and Trial 2019)
* Rhys Kennedy Norths (Train and Trial 2019)

We still need 1 more player for our Top 30 Squad
We need at least 1 more development player
We still need 1 more Edge player.

I think he’ll be good, he’s going to have lots to prove, he hates failing, he’s going to wNt to stick it right up Brisbane
We need to have a succession plan, which realistically is almost impossible if Bennett is in charge for three years, but perhaps he’ll bring Demitriou as an assistant
Also going to be interesting to see what kind of staff he brings, he’s renowned for having his own long term team, I hope we keep some remainder of the place intact

We have a whole reserve grade & a whole u20s squad to shop for, clearly they can’t all be a part of the contracted squad, but I’m just happy it’ll give you & the other bloke countless hours of endorphin highs with the news of constant signings & club approved emails

Im sure demitriou will follow and souths will take bennets recommendation that he take over when he is done, i have heard and read tevita p jun will almost certainly follow bennet and looking at this thats probably why we are not signing players as this has been brewing for a month and bennet wants his players signed

Very interesting.
I read on another site that Cook and Murray have extended. Murray for 3 years and Cook for 4.
Well I haven’t received a members email yet about it!

Surely there will be. The Brisbane headwigs would get things moving soon you’d think.
Have you got ADHD? you’re fecking manic, how do you come up with this shite?
I don’t think it’s shite at all. I’m honoured that whatever I post won’t make you happy.

Oh well I’ll keep doing what I do!

No I don’t have ADHD either.

I’m valued on here on our forum by nearly all posters. If you don’t like it or can’t get along with me then there is an ignore function in case you didn’t know.
