Well the first game of the season is now in the books and I think there were a few things we got out of the Rabbitohs 28-10 win over the Roosters. While you tend to find that early season games can be a bit messy, this one wasn’t too bad. I have the South Sydney…
What type of journalist would call George Piggins up and allow him to spew his ridiculously opinions completely unchallenged?

He claimed that Crowe…
Russell Crowe has made the decision to sell his controlling interest in the South Sydney Rabbitohs to focus more on his family. When Russell Crowe and Peter Holmes a Court took over the South Sydney Rabbitohs the clubs was a mess. On the field they were not worthy of a place in first grade. Off…

The South Sydney Rabbitohs have smashed the Canberra Raiders 38-16 and are now one win away from making the NRL Grand Final. This was a really tough game early on and you got the feeling that Souths were more prepared for the early exchanges than the Raiders were. It was only about 15 minutes into…
Over the last few months the South Sydney Rabbitohs have had a good run of form, and it led a lot of their fans to ask me if I rated them as a true Grand Final contender. The whole time I said I wanted to wait and see how they went against one of the…

Jason Taylor has been sacked by South Sydney and it was pretty much the only decision they could possibly make.You can’t have your coach being involved in rubbish like that. The appointment of John Lang as the new coach for the next two seasons doesn’t sit real well with me. Lang got into a role…

After missing out on signing anyone decent, South Sydney is now tossing up poor signings with speculation they will make some TERRIBLE moves.
