Might have been handy to keep with JH gone.

Don’t get this. Must be a non football issue
Re: Siliva Havili signs with South Sydney Rabbitohs
Now that Reynolds has gone, Souths need someone who can kick field goals. Havilli is pretty famous for his field goal prowess.

Good player. Agreed that it would have been beneficial to keep him (especially if Hodgo goes), but they obviously wanted to clear the decks to bring in some new blood.

Re: Siliva Havili signs with South Sydney Rabbitohs
Good luck to him.
Was a good clubman.

Solid FG footballer. Had some issues with handling at times, but positives outweighed the negatives imo. Good luck Siliva, but not too much when you are playing against us.
Re: Siliva Havili signs with South Sydney Rabbitohs
He's had some good games for us. Wasa great foil for Hodgo. Could tackle and offload. Probably would have made a great hooker in the 80s.

Re: Siliva Havili signs with South Sydney Rabbitohs
Siva is a good player and seems a lovely guy so no disrespect intended, but seriously South’s choose to promote him with a picture of him kicking……. If you look closely at that picture you can almost see the cogs turning in his head that he has released the ball but is still in two minds as to which foot to use to kick it.

Re: Siliva Havili signs with South Sydney Rabbitohs
Correction. It is a picture of him attempting to kick. There's no guarantee the ball actually contacted his foot in this intance.Billy Walker wrote: ↑October 21, 2021, 12:09 pm Siva is a good player and seems a lovely guy so no disrespect intended, but seriously South’s choose to promote him with a picture of him kicking…….

Re: Siliva Havili signs with South Sydney Rabbitohs
I looked at again and perhaps I’m being unfair, it may well be a picture of him taking a hit up either immediately after he has dropped the pass or just before he is about toNorthern Raider wrote: ↑October 21, 2021, 12:29 pmCorrection.

That ball could have been photoshopped into the image tooBilly Walker wrote: ↑October 21, 2021, 12:09 pm Siva is a good player and seems a lovely guy so no disrespect intended, but seriously South’s choose to promote him with a picture of him kicking…….

You just know there will be some muppet over in the Wabbits forum saying - “It’s a good signing guys but people are saying stuff about his kicking game and dropped balls over on the Greenhouse”

Seems like they have used a NSW Cup image rather than him playing in a NRL Strip.....

If you zoom in on the image and note what is written on the ball I’d suggest it is quite apt

Re: Siliva Havili signs with South Sydney Rabbitohs
We have had 2 genuinely good number 14's the past 7 odd years in Baptiste and Saliva with their own individual contributions - i'd say both were relatively plucked from nowhere as well, lets see what the club can come up with moving forward
Re: Siliva Havili signs with South Sydney Rabbitohs
Does that qualify as fixed?

Siliva Havili backs Canberra Raiders hooker Tom Starling to get back on track
Former Canberra hooker Siliva Havili backs Tom Starling to put his off-field dramas behind him and says the Raiders will rally around him.
"It's not good for the club and every club's at the stage of hoping no one makes a mistake in this off-season, especially to the brand of the game and the club itself. But I know Tommy will be better for it, come good, and he'll have all the support of the boys."

Re: Siliva Havili signs with South Sydney Rabbitohs
Siliva says there was some interest from the Raiders in extending him, but he thought he needed to change given Starling had come through and he was a bit out of favour.
