It says it’s two mystery multinational companies. One to be announced before Christmas and the other in the new year. One committing to $1M a year for 4yrs and the other $1M a year for 2yrs. Also stated they are not P&O or Alcatel.

Welcome mate!

yea I can't read it either but I'm going to assume it's P&O and Alcatel, they're now our main sponsors for 2019 I think.

According to the Telecrap, they don't know the names of the new main sponsors since Souths won't tell them. At the moment, our main sponsors are Alcatel and Playup on the official website.

I think the reason Souths won't tell the Telecrap about who are our new sponsors, is because it's still being negotiated.

It did mention something about us having two home and two away strips.

Edit - I think I miss read that. It says “they will be emblazoned across our two home and away jerseys”. I think that means two jerseys, one home, one away:laughing:

Rabbitohs Players Confused After Darius Boyd Turns Up At Training Unannounced
bunnies.jpg


Darius Boyd has caused even more confusion at the South Sydney Rabbitohs organisation today.

After the resolution of an extremely poorly managed and confusing coaching situation (which saw Wayne Bennett and Anthony Siebold finally do the coach swap), the Brisbane contracted Darius Boyd has further muddied the waters.

The Broncos fullback and apple of Wayne Bennett’s eye caused the furrowed brows down at the Rabbitohs training ground this morning by turning up to train in full Bunnies kit.

“What the f**k’s going on?” asked Rabbitohs and NSW hooker Damien Cook.

“I know Wayne’s coming down here to coach, but Darius is contracted to the Broncos still, how come he is just hear training with us?”

“And how the f**k did he get a full set of kit?”

We were unable to answer Cook’s questions when he asked them but have since learnt that Boyd has walked out on Brisbane a year early, after hearing that the immediate coach swap would go ahead.

You sound like another poster who blurts out things he thinks and puts fact after it :joy::joy::joy:
I know who u are with your trademark crying faces rabbitoad,you just cant help yourself critisizing.
Bennet of course would have major input on recruitment,he always does.
We have money,we made pengai an offer in the vicinity of 800k so where did that com
More reports emerging that Cookie is very close to re-signing!!

The hold up was just that he was waiting for this coaching situation to be resolved.

Seibs was very worried with what was happening with Jennings and Johnston. Hope you are able to move them on soon to give you cap relief.

Those bloody Burgeii have a lot to answer for taking up an exhorbitant chunk of your cap space!

No chance, he will sit and watch, he will have input, im wondering if any of the 3 will follow,lodge for 1 won't stay with seibold, here's hoping we get all 3 because something was going on with recruitment,i know there is money lets see next weeks developments
So are you saying there’s no chance he will advise who we keep and who we move on .?thats the way it reads to me,but then,after that you post he will have input so which is it
By the way I’m no rabbitoad ,please clear up this miscommunication cheers
Really only one person ever uses :joy::joy::joy::joy::joy: you need to get out more often

Interesting press conference!
Sam looks very happy that Bennett is here.
When Bennett was asked if GI would be our fullback next year, Bennett said “he wouldn’t be my first choice”
I have a feeling he wants Gags in the 1.

Mightily impressed by Wayne's interview (public one and one for members) today. Quite clear that the level of trust between management and coaching staff was broken at the Broncos and strong at the Rabbitohs. I also feel sorry for Wayne's Broncos support staff - sounds like they have been shafted. Our biggest loss was Furner - and he doesn't follow Seibs anyway.
