Well I hope Auva'a doesn't get much interest so we could re sign him on a 1 year deal for 2016.

It'd be very good if we can somehow keep Johnston and Auva'a and have enough left for Tom, George, Turner and Tyrrell.

Hard to keep all those guys though.

Either Turner or Tyrrell may have to unfortunately leave.

I reckon we got enough to keep those guys. We can afford to let Auva'a go if we find a suitable replacement of younger guys between Round 1 and Round 22.

Let go of Reddy, Goodwin and Lowe who were good servants but just aren't up to it anymore. If we re-sign any of them i'll be disappointed.

Millard, Teteh, Puara, Sorensen, Taukafa, Murphy, Manuleleua and Gosiewski will really need to impress to be given extensions. If they are re-signed then they won't be given big upgrades and probably a 1-2 year extention at most.


Which leaves Johnston, Auva'a, Tom, George, Gray, Grevsmuhl, Turner, Tyrrell, and McInnes. Hoping we can keep all of them but I doubt it will happen. Johnston, the twins, McInnes and Turner are priorities imo.

Good post mate I agree.

We must definitely let Goodwin, Reddy and Lowe go.

Out of the list at bottom I also hope we keep Tyrrell he is the Luke Stuart of our team imo. Tyrrell should also be a priority.

Cheers brother.

I agree on Tyrrell, he is a priority as we barely have any solid props. George and Tom are impact props whereas Dave is a toiler a hard worker and a great part of our team. He'll become a great prop by the time he's 30, that's my prediction. Hope he stays.

Thanks for that info---it's a relief!!

But it was never going to happen!

I read on a Wests Tigers forum not sure which one but they were saying on there something along the lines of let's stir up South Sydney supporters and make up a garbage rumour about John Sutton.

The bullshit rumour probably started in a couple of other places too.

I was never worried. Just other league supporters seem to be jealous of the mighty Bunnies!!

Taylor will probably go grey or lose his hair coaching the Tigers!

Robbie Farah acted stupid last year in the way he conducted himself. He lost some respect from a lot of League followers. I've lost quite a lot of respect for him.

Good joke as well mate:lol:

Apparently Sam dropped a lot of ball.

If the poms had watched any of his ball handling skills from the last 4 years, they'd have realised he's not a centre.

That was of Sam and the Saxons.

There was a short article on Rabbitohs Zero Tackle about George which I just read.

Maybe in the paper today as well.

Sorry, wrong link, here it is:

South Sydney's George Burgess leaves door open to follow brother Sam to rugby union

Bunny for now: George Burgess plans to stick with rugby league. Photo: Brendan Esposito
South Sydney prop George Burgess has hinted he may follow in his brother Sam's footsteps, admitting the lure of rugby union could see him leave the NRL.

While George is on contract with South Sydney until the end of 2016, the Rabbitohs wrecking ball, who was in England to watch his older brother before Christmas, hasn't ruled out a code switch of his own.

There was speculation last year that an English rugby club had expressed interest in the forward but while little came of it, George said it could become a reality in the future.

"Not at the minute but you never say never," he said ahead of his NRL Nines debut in Auckland on Saturday.

"You never know what the future can hold. Maybe in a few years down the track. For now, though, I'm pretty interested in rugby league and what I can do in this sport."

George's comments come as Sam prepares to make his debut in the run-on side for the England Saxons (second-string national side) against a near Test-strength Ireland Wolfhounds in Cork this weekend.

Both George and his twin brother Thomas visited Sam in Bath last year for what was his first game in the starting side for his new club, with George admitting his older brother was beginning to make some noise in the 15-man game.

"He looks good," George said.

"He's doing well over there now. He's only played a few games, but he's starting to hit form and turn a few heads with the England selectors. He's doing well. Obviously playing a totally different sport is a big challenge, but he's excited."

South Sydney's quartet of Burgesses has been reduced to two, with eldest brother Luke recently linking with Manly for 2015.

While George is looking forward to lining up against Luke for the first time, he insists he is happy with his brother's decision to leave South Sydney for an opportunity elsewhere.

"I never got the chance to play against Luke in the Super League but I think Tom's played against Luke," George said.

"It will be good fun. We do it in training every week and we used to do it at home in the backyard, so it'll be nothing new.

"He was thinking about his family, and he's got a young family. He's thinking about prolonging his career at another club. He'll get a few more opportunities elsewhere. It's the best thing for Luke to do and I think he made a great choice."

Sam, who will be out to impress England head coach Stuart Lancaster in his debut for England Saxons, said he was copping some flack from NRL players over his involvement in union but insists adjusting is tougher than it looks.

"There was one stat that came up on TV that showed I'd made 15 metres in the whole game against Leicester, while we try and make that in one carry in league," Burgess told the London Daily Telegraph.

"The league boys have been giving me stick saying that I've become lazy. That's footy banter. But there is a perception from outside that union is easier, that you don't have to be as fit as you do in league. That's a big statement and you don't appreciate until you play union just how intense it is. And how skilful. It is a lot tougher than viewed from outside.

"I am focused on giving it my all in union. You have to let go of what you have been doing before, although it is hard to forget instantly what you have been doing all your life. The most difficult thing to get used to is that in league you can go and try to influence a game by getting your hands on the ball no matter what. In union, you have to wait, maybe do a lot of work off the ball."
