Rabbitohs rumours, signings, injuries etc

[Rabbits20]

I think whats happening is we are waiting on TPJun to make his decision, if bennet comes for 19 im willing to bet pengai will sign with us AJ to make his decision if he is leaving or not, then jennings will be done, we are waiting to see how much money is left, it will fall into place once the coaches make the move. In saying that just like bennet put thiaday and parker on 250k in their last year sutto will have to accept less to stay, its a fact of life unfortunately,if he is on 550 he may have to accept half. Also we can ,like manly put 1 player in the development sqaud to make a spot available for him if we sign others. If only Richo can find superleague clubs for turner and the prop 2 posis will open up

Handy I think you have nailed it.

Top of the list though has to be Cookie ffs....

 

[handyman2190]

No, $300k is apparently the amount and he took less money to stay at Souths, is happy to play wing, he just loves Souths.

He may love souths but he dosent love wing anymore by the sound of it, and maybe a few home truths agrivated and caused the stoush bet him and GI, letting him test the market is a good way of him and us finding out if others think he has it as a FB and if not calming his attitude down.

Are we paying Johnston as a fullback?

No - he is paid as a winger. He would have played wing last year but GIs knees were not up to playing fullback. He played fullback last year but was paid as a winger!!!!
Stop believing everything you read in the media. There is no fight with GI - they were together last night at Cookies wedding.
AJ is not looking to change clubs but you have to wonder who started the rumours to destabilise both him and the team

How do you know he doesn’t love wing anymore? There is no stoush with GI. He has stayed loyal to Souths through 2 contracts and stayed for less than he was offered elsewhere. He is payed as a winger but played fullback due to GIs injury.

Im glad to hear there is no stoush between them im only going on what the lurker has said

Then he should have no problem going back on the wing.....

 

[ThingFish]

AJ has been a rock solid loyal junior, and a great example of what the club is trying to build, a rabbit from u7s til NRL. But if he truly loves the club he’ll put his hand up to be the greatest winger since Ziggy and Merro. Own the 2/5, break some records, earn some rings.

 

[Mr Spock!]

Honestly not many wingers became fullbacks eg Corowa, Boustead, Hancock, Mullins's from the 70s, Ziggy, Terry Fahey, both Grothes..............

I never saw why Johnston would be a first grade fullback when he was an excellent first class winger.

Maybe because he played most of his junior days as a FB

And that goes the other way...which shows how specialised these positions are

Fullback also has to talk to the defensive line as they can see the whole width from the back.

I’m currently more concerned at to how we will have the money to upgrade Cookie plus keep Sutto and Jennings.

If Sutto isn’t renewed they’ll me a massive outcry of emails from disgruntled members and members marching down to Chalmers Street themselves to demand answers.

If we can’t hold Sutton that’s really really wrong after what he’s done for us. It’ll make me feel sick and it’ll hit me really really hard like worse than getting a wooden spoon if we let him go.

People think Corey Allan is gonna be better.

But I’m telling people he’s a work in progress. We do need to be patient with him. I don’t think his defence at this stage is any good just like AJ.

If Allan spends the year at fullback and struggles at times we can not just rip and tear into him. He’s gotta find his feet. There will be very bright moments and not so good moments.

John Sutton's earned the right to call time on his terms....if he wants to play on we should fit him in.

It's not like he's playing badly.

But I'm not in charge of recruitment......

Seeing Keary win the churchill medal made me feel sick......As one we let go.....

Btw I remember the 70s watching a whole host of Souths Stars run around for other clubs eg Bobby McCarthy and Gary Stevens for Canterbury, Terry Fahey for the Roosters.

Fans don't get what they want.

Dunno, haven't seen much of him but if he can catch the ball and run he's already more threatening than Johnston.

And of course the guy's young and will make mistakes and have brain fades etc....

Heck look at Dufty.

He does want to play on.

If we don’t give himself contract emails will be flooding the joint down at Chalmers Street amongst members going there in a rage.

I’d expect an online petition and a protest for a march that a Bunnies member sets up if we can’t have enough to hold him.

You watch the uproar mate if it comes to that.

WE WANT SUTTO

WE WANT SUTTO

REPAY THE FAITH AND LOYALTY AND SAVE OUR BUNNY FAVOURITE SON!!

And again now....

rumours Dufty now wants upwards of 650k.

Maybe when he can tackle and doesn't run away from the ball runner.....lol.....

If it came down to Pangai Jr or Sutton who would you pick.

One thing's for sure, Bennett will have no time for sentimentality.
