Rabbitohs signings, rumours and injuries thread.

[alien]

I agree our recruitment has been very poor, who is control of it Madge?

he would have a big say

 

[doyen]

What about Luke Page he is off contract and runs really hard just needs a chances at first grade

I think Page went to Saints!

 

[Rsag85]

I think Page went to Saints!

yea he did but isn't contracted for next year to any club I believe, was only a mid year signing

We're starting to get desperate now,I suppose.

Page certainly has the reputation of being a very hard-hitting front-rower!

 

[doyen]

i cant say too much!!!!!!

All I asked for was how many games he played--exactly!

That's not much of an ask!

 

[rabbitohs95]

Page won't help us. In NSW Cup he's dominant but in NRL game situations he's meh.

I guess we could gamble on him but i'd rather get us a big backrower. Musgrove and Brown are there to develop.

 

[Rabbits20]

I think Musgrove may get a run in 2016.

Agree.

 

[Rabbits20]

If we get Zane Musgrove playing off the bench ala George in 2013, we could use one of the Burgesses as a middle forward playing 13?

It's a possibility at some stage in 2016.

 

[Rabbits20]

I've explained that to Dogmatix a couple of times previously but he just seems to be butthurt about something and he won't listen.

You're a truth teller southsport!!!

 

[Rabbits20]

I think Grevsmuhl should be our lock next year

Agreed.

With all your points so far they are very good and I'm thinking the same.

 

[Rabbits20]

dogmatix correct again

He's not correct that D. Walker is better than Sutto though.

Sutto is better.

I have confidence Musgrove can be very good for us in future years too.

 

[Rabbits20]

dogmatix you forgot to say souths like to also give non souths junior players 2 year extended contracts after they play ordinary,but i believe goodwin is the only one out of the bunch that deserved an extension for sure!gee we have a dud forward pack no one to help the twins or grevs,i hope brown gets more time on the paddock and when i see madge ile ask him to give cody walker a go for god's sake and throw mcinnes to nsw cup and make cook our no9!and give carter a permanent bench spot at least he is a goer and a 1st grader unlike the duds we persist with!!!

You can't give Cody a go unless someone gets injured though.

As I've said before it's not smart at all to carry both Carter and Cody on the bench.

 

[Rabbits20]

im sure you will agree rabbits20

But unfortunately there isn't much on the market currently shadow.

 

[Rabbits20]

he would have a big say

Of course.

an idea is cook/mcinnes have a rest during the game, and keary goes to dummy half, and cody comes on and plays five eighth, but i doubt madge would plan on changing the halves during the game. if it happened though, i doubt carter would be on the bench too

I can't see Madge doing that.

 

[southsport]

What do you guys think of Ryan James?

 

[doyen]

What do you guys think of Ryan James?

TBH,he's never entered my mind.

His name has been thrown around as one of the next big things over the past few years.

But he always seems to find a way to lose favour whether it be form or injury.

Madge would like him as he is a big unit & would suit his favoured bash & barge approach!

He is over 120 kgs[194 cms]-so he is huge--we would then have three 120kg+ players in the forwards in George,Tom & this bloke.

I take it the G/Coast have decided to give him the spear.He has been somewhat of a disappointment for them.

He hasn't lived up to expectations--there has also been discipline,weight & fitness problems with him.He's only managed about 68 games in 6 yrs. He played 21 games in 2015 so that's a good sign,I suppose.

Madge would problem bugger him for the whole year with pre-season training!!!

Don't worry mate---I don't want to know your mate's name.

It's good to have some inside info so keep getting it from your mate.

He was obviously a good player if he played in the top grade for 10 yrs!!
