You sure Rogers isn't a 2 yr deal with a option. I am pretty sure that is what he signed. The media usually report that as a 3yr deal!
That link is not media, it is South Sydney web site. He is 3 years with option for 4.
As far as Brent Webb is concerned. I believe the story goes this way-
1) Yes he is tearing it up in England but he is home sick (don't ask me why, I am not Brent Webb, this is just what I have heard). Although he played for New Zealand he was actually born and raised in Cairns.
2) Souths have just signed an agreement with Leeds Rhino's which facilitates player transfers between the two clubs.
3) Leeds continue to pay his contract, he comes back to Aus and Souths send a couple of up and coming players as replacements. I believe Beau Champion is one of those replacements.
Souths get fullback, Leeds get depth and keep Webb under contract and happy, just in case he has a change of heart.
Once again, this is just a rumour. One which seems very substantial but this is a rumours thread right?
