Rabbitohs signings, rumours and injuries 2015-16

[southsport]

we have another one in the works

Come on Rsag, you're pulling our leg, there's no one else.

 

[Rsag85]

He's not terrible if it's for 85k. He has the added bonus of having won a premiership with GI and Madge before. Wait and see I think.

The guy was drop from Bradford Bulls due to poor performance the same Bradford Bulls that are now in 2nd Divison in England and he was release from his past two NRL contracts one due to off field stuff something our club doesn't need.

Nothing we can do about it,its pointless crying about it.I doubt he will play much 1st grade but at least it gives us another option.I wouldnt read too much into his failings at the warriors,plenty of players dont adjust and play well there and other lesser known players do well at Auckland that struggle elsewhere.Same goes for England, players like Mark Carroll,Jamie Soward and David Peachey all struggled in England but came back to the nrl and did ok.

We needed a try score when we lost Walker and the Stat that stands out for me with Nielsen is 111 games for only 27 tries...... I take everything I said about Goodwin back this guy here has to be the worst signing in the clubs history.

rsag85 the sign above says it all mate

 

[Miagi]

People complained when we signed Lote as well and look how that turned out

 

[foreverinourshadow]

lote had the attributes and prowess to succeed

 

[alien]

he is probably only signed as a backup player

That's what you said about Lote too.

 

[Rsag85]

That's what you said about Lote too.

And I still stand by what I said about Lote.

 

[Rsag85]

I know his a fan favourite but is Sam Burgess really worth losing a bunch of great talented players?

 

[Itsmeagain]

Re watch the 2014 gf and ask yourself that question again

 

[southsport]

And I still stand by what I said about Lote.

And you were proven wrong.

As a foundation for the team to build off for the next 5 years my answer is yes, if you think he's going to win us a title next season you will be disappointed.
Who did we loose really? Luke said mid season he was off, Stewart also left well before the news and didn't do a great deal last season, rumours of Walker joining Manly for 2017 were already doing the rounds.
The only direct casualty I can see is McQueen and yes I would swap him for Sam every time.

Consider the following;

McQueen, Grant and Stewart were all crap last year, and are getting on in age. We have a great crop of young forwards coming in, and we have plenty of spots for them to take over.

Sam Burgess is one of the best players in the world and is an inspiration to not only the others in the pack but also the others in the team and at the club. His worth is more than those three put together.

Madge is someone who brings up young players exceptionally. Since 2012 the likes of Reynolds, George and Tom Burgess, Keary, Walker, AJ, Turner, Koroisau, Auva'a, McInnes, Gray, Brown and Grevsmuhl have successfully made it into the NRL, i'm sure there are others too.

Id tell you to have some faith but all you seem to do is complain so I don't think anyone can change your mind. Have fun stressing and being negative all the time.

Madge said he wanted to keep Walker. We lost a loyal player in McQueen, Grant has gone, Grevsmuhl has agreed to a deal with the Panthers and Olive is rumoured to be going to the Titans.

Sam didn't really show any loyalty to the club after taking a big money deal with a sport he really wasn't suited for.

i'm not happy about grevs leaving at the end of the season, but maybe crichton will be a good (and much cheaper) replacement..
