Rabbitohs signings, rumours and injuries 2015-16

[Rabbits20]

Rumours

Hopoate to the Bulldogs
Lafai to the Dragons
Walker to the Sea eagles
McQueen to the Titans
Hiku to the Rabbitohs
Roberts to remain at the Titans

Mate that's the most sensible list of rumours in a long time.

I'd take Hiku of course but I worry about his defence.

 

[Rabbits20]

Only one problem with that Hiku is a hopeless defender,check this years stats he missed the most tackles by a long way out of all the Manly team,Can this be fixed or coached out as he's no good to us like that we already gave Reddy the boot for useless defence

However Reddy was hopeless at most things.

There is lots of positives with Hiku but question marks over his defence.

Won the grand final with him playing in that position something you kept on telling me wouldn't happen for many years lol

If you look closely at the program you will find Keary played 5/8!!!

When Koroisau went off for a rest Keary went to hooker and Sutton went to 5/8 for 20mins.

Sutton did a very good job too in those 20mins and remained composed.

I still say;look at the program!!

The fact is that JS has never ever been a 5/8!!

I think JS is a classy player but I always felt so sorry for the poor bugger being stuck at 5/8 & really having no equipment for that posse!! I was embarrased for JS there & I reckon he probably was too.
Could never understand why they persisted with him there for soooooooooo long!

BTW,there's no such thing as a hooker today!

Please, no more Sutto at 5/8, he's getting on a bit now.

If Keary or Reynolds get injured in a match Sutton would move to 5/8 for the rest of the match.

The week after though I'd expect Cody to be playing there.

Lafai has signed with Souths

Lafai has signed with Souths

If that's true,for 2016,that's great--I've always rated him!!

But I thought Sths were still in a position where they had to shed players NOT buy them!

 

[DiegoNT]

Tom Burgess to the nfl?

 

[Mr Spock!]

Tom Burgess to the nfl?

Yep, that's good.

Let's shed half the squad to fit your brother then bugger off to helmetball.

 

[SaraSassypants]

Burgess is training in the NFL only. He's not signed.

 

[southsport]

Tom Burgess to the nfl?

He's supposed to be over in the states trialling now, but he just signed a 3 year contract with us.

I would prefer Roberts I think.

The South Sydney Rabbitohs can confirm that Thomas Burgess has been given the opportunity to develop his skills by participating in NFL training during his off-season break.
The Rabbitohs value Thomas’ desire to be the best professional athlete he can be and support his endeavour.
Rabbitohs Head Coach, Michael Maguire and Thomas had discussed ways to better Burgess’ speed, strength and agility, and are confident that the experience will be beneficial.
“We’re fully supportive of our players trying to improve themselves,” said Maguire.
“This will provide a unique and valuable experience for Thomas, one that he will no doubt learn a lot from and in turn be able to bring back to the Rabbitohs for the coming season.”
The Club can confirm that Thomas Burgess is contracted to the Rabbitohs until the end of the 2018 season.

I'd prefer Roberts for sure----he's heading towards becoming one of the very best players in the NRL.
Lafai's a good player but nowhere near the explosive attacking ability of Roberts.

Can we really squeeze in either of these players though for 2016???? I thought we had significant trouble already with our salary cap!

Bugs buddy where do you get your info from ,that's fantastic news if Lafai has signed but this is after all a rumour thread soooo,, let's just say as we all know a thousand different statements on players joining us have appeared on these threads and maybe 1 has been true ( Sam coming back )

 

[Bensville rabbit]

NFL training may help big Tommy to actually hang onto the ball when needed but I can also see that there may be more to this as he has stated public ally his desire for changing to NFL let's see how it plays out

 

[Rsag85]

Lafai has signed with Souths

has he? because I'm hearing he is off to the Dragons

 

[Newcastlerabbit]

Wow, hope it comes off re Lafai.
