Rumours and Stuff

To b fair to Russell, I thought penisisi never gave him good ball to score

Absolutely agree but his workrate diminished greatly after a good start to the season. Interestingly his load increased exponentially in his one game in the 2s. Promotion and relegation appeared to work in his instance.

Some little birds just flew in and tell me that a Super League International winger has been granted a release from his Contract and is looking to hook up with an NRL club. Parra in the lead to sign him.

Do a swap for Sivo. Couldnt be any worse.

Gee its brave backflipping on Uncle Nick who can hold a grudge.

GC better be careful i reckon i know where the Roosters may be heading to get there next batch of Talent as a bit of revenge.

Palm Beach Currumbin may get a influx of roosters spotters shortly.

You have it wrong KG. The Brave Roosters pulled their offer and left Fifita pondering.

Do a swap for Sivo. Couldnt be any worse.

The bloke couldnt even turn up to training at Salford FFS.

He got 2 breach notices for not turning up in 2 months. After his exit for the Tigers when he couldnt turn up to training.

He clearly doesnt want to play or train anymore.

If any NRL club sign him up they are as dumb as a dogturd.

could c us chasing trai fuller if desperate next year.

To be fair he’s walk in at moment, but I sure as f**k wouldn’t want him for that reason

Be pretty smart of Fifita if he signed the Chooks deal (with cooling off period), then signed the 'arms length TPA'in binding fashion, then cooled off on the Chooks for more $$ at the Titans!!

I imagine the arms length TPA would only last a year, but still funny.

Bennett confirmed for the Rabbits
When we have a rookie coaching us in 2026 after BA is gone, we'll look back on this as the biggest missed opportunity in the history of the club

Wayne Bennett agrees to $3 million, three-year deal with South Sydney

South Sydney officials held a meeting with Bennett in Brisbane days out from Magic Round as they prepare to announce his return to the Rabbitohs.

Wayne Bennett has agreed to terms on a $3 million, three-year deal after meeting with South Sydney officials in Brisbane on Monday.
The deal has not been signed, but Rabbitohs officials flew to Queensland on Monday to work out the terms of his agreement.
South Sydney powerbrokers have lined up a meeting with Bennett at Magic Round this weekend where it is expected he will put pen to paper on a contract that will see him return to Sydney next season.
Sources with knowledge of the situation not authorised to speak about it publicly told this masthead the deal includes performance bonuses aligned with South Sydney’s results on the field.

Rabbitohs officials are reluctant to celebrate the deal given Bennett’s history of 11th-hour changes, most famously reneging on verbal agreements to previously join the Sydney Roosters, and a second stint at the St George Illawarra.
Rabbitohs chief executive Blake Solly led the negotiations and was one of several South Sydney officials to meet with Bennett earlier this week.

The Rabbitohs are expected to formally announce the deal after their meeting with Bennett during Magic Round.

3 million seems unders he could have forced them to pay 1.5m a season as they are super desperate right now Souths.

As Wayne could have waited and not rushed the decision I reckon the cowboys job could open up by the end of the year which is better suited for Wayne and QLD side.

 

[Noise]

Fortunately we have BA this year and next year.

 

[King-Gutho94]

But but but but stability!!

Perfect for the board they can argue they gave BA the whole season.

Then when its finished after a 9 win season they can say there is no better alternative available atm to get and were stuck in the same cycle of keeping BA for 2025.

According to some merkins there hasn’t been a better available coach since 2014.

Why do you think that?

Nothing in the media suggests that Wayne was in any sort of demand? (Apart from Souths)

The only comments made about him have been Souths confirming they want him and Parra saying we are not currently interested.

There doesn't seem to have been that much demand from him... Unless other clubs have thrown there hat in the ring that we do not know about.

Bennett was never coming back to Sydney was the excuse i heard for the last 6-12 months.

I am sure the next excuse will be he was never going to come here so why would we bother chasing him which is a load of BS.

Why would he bother when we showed no interest and confirmed it as much 2 weeks ago.

A ruthless club would go about it efficiently and effectively if a better coach would become available you go & pursue it.

Its not like BA could whinge if he got the flick now we didn't give him a fair go.

Unfortunately we have gone from a political shitbed of self interest on the board to a board that is now asleep and leading us back into the abyss.

Can we find a happy medium one day please.

Might dig up some Bennett is not coming back to Sydney posts.

My comments were Wayne could have told Souths if you want me to sign now well pay up. Souths would be more desperate to lock this in then Wayne.

Otherwise wayne could have been happy to wait 2 or 3 months and see what is available.

Cowboys have a decent roster i reckon Wayne could win a comp with in 2 years if he went there.

Payten has had 4 years won 1 final and lost a prelim final to a BA coached side at home.

Do you reckon he will survive unless they make the finals they have about 11-12 players playing them who have played Origin or International footy plus Drinkwater who was 18th man for NSW last year.

We have missed the boat for 38 years.

I think were are now currently adrift near Antarctica with one arm frozen off due to frostbite.
