Rabbitohs signings, rumours and injuries thread.

Ok pure theory here
It was rumoured that to get burgess we's need to move on McQueen, Grant and Walker. From what I've gathered on the rumour sites/forums
Titans wanted McQueen
Eels wanted Grant
Walker was rumoured to be in the panthers sights

Today we've had
Gordon released from the titans
Paulo released from the Eels
Idris retired from the panthers

Well spotted.
Feel for McQueen. With a pack more committed to offloads he would be a star. He'd be better off at the Panthers IMO.

If Dylan leaves I don't think it'd be entirely because of salary, more likely a culture thing. If he goes to Titans both their gun centers will be lost Souths players. I'm really hoping he stays but if he goes and Hoppa goes Bulldogs I'd love Lafai.

Very very good thinking!

I believe Walker will stay and two other forwards will be looking for new homes thats what I'm hearing at the moment

Who are those 2 forwards?? Is Tyrrell 1 of them???

If Dylan leaves, our centre options are Auva'a, Goodwin, Gray and Turner can play a bit of centre too.

Sam has returned to training with Bath. For how long who knows?

Looks like Manuleulua has definitely gone,his profile has been removed from the souths website along with the other leaving players,luke,lowe,Millard,Murphy,reddy,nicholls,stewart,sorenson and taukafa.

You lot will probably hate this but if Dylan leaves I'd like to see McQueen move back to the backline. Big body with speed. Far better option than Turner. Only advantage of putting Turner out there is it'll be less likely he'll get injured again. That being said if they get rid of Walker it'll be a terrible decision - we've struggled for outside backs.

That's not a bad option but McQueen may be off to the titans.

Lots of stories about Dylan Walker leaving the club to soften the blow.
Panthers have a press conference at the same time as the Melbourne cup today to announce the controversial signing off Dylan Walker
This one is Purely a crazy conspiracy theory from me.

I reckon McQueen is leaving.

That's why I mentioned Turner as an option if we get injuries at centre.

I used to hate this idea but I'm warming to it. If he does stay, his performance in the backrow have been mostly pretty ordinary and I couldn't put him in there.

He needs a new role and his ability under the high ball might give him a place out wide.

Dylan's agent is away for another 12 days so we won't know for a fortnight.

My mail is that Dylan has actually re-signed for a few more years. All the media is doing is hyping up a nothing situation. From a close source.

I think you are right on the money r95.

I hope you're right.

How will we fit in Sam then???????

Leeds are in contact with Bath saying they're very interested.

easy we still have money left over from Glenn Stewarts deal plus we will be off loading a few of our forwards

 

[RabbitOhBoy]

I wonder if a collaborative pitch for Sam is on the cards involving Souths and Leeds. The biggest hurdle to signing him may be the size of the transfer fee that a pissed off Bath will demand. If this cost is defrayed between the 2 clubs - with Leeds having him for 12 months and Souths the rest - it might provide a solution.
(For some reason I can't include a link to the The Yorkshire Evening Post that alludes to this idea)

Also he has been selected in the Bath squad for this weekend's game.

Getting rid of Tyrrell and Clark won't do much as they're on peanuts!!!!


Leeds are going to go hard after Sam too.
