That’s a good side. Probably the strongest centre pairing in the NRL.

Campbell Graham has suffered a sternum injury , could be out for six months. Looks like Tass still has a centre spot.

Rabbitohs star Campbell Graham booked for surgery, facing huge stint on sidelines after injury complications

Rabbitohs star centre Campbell Graham will go under the knife and could miss half the season after his lingering sternum injury failed to heal this summer. Graham required a painkilling needle every game last season to keep the injury at bay and club doctors were confident it would heal naturally with rest after the season. However, his recovery hasn’t tracked as expected and he’ll now have surgery in Brisbane next week.

Lewis Dodd to sign for South Sydney

Struggling South Sydney have been given a much-needed boost with the Rabbitohs set to agree to a shock long-term deal with English halfback Lewis Dodd. It is understood that Dodd is likely to join the Rabbitohs from next season on a three to four year contract having told his Super League club St Helens of the impending move.

I like how we lose our marquee half to the Rabbits and are unable to replace him, then the Rabbits who brought him literally just go out and buy another international half over the top of him.

Souths board had a meeting this morning. Reconvening at 5pm this arvo.

That doesn't sound good at all for Demetriou.

[Botman]

Seeing Furner might be tabbed to take over as the interim
If so it's a good chance for him to work with the likes of Jacky, Cody, Cooky, Koloamatangy and Latrelly

Rabbitohs terminate coaching contract of Jason Demetriou effective immediately

The South Sydney Rabbitohs have terminated the coaching contract of Head Coach Jason Demetriou today, effective immediately.

Following a meeting of the Football Club Board, in conjunction with club management, it has been decided that the Club needs to go in a new direction with its coaching following a less-than-satisfactory series of results over the 2023 and 2024 seasons.

Rabbitohs CEO, Blake Solly, said: “The Board and management feel that now is the time to make a change to the leadership of our football program in terms of the head coaching role.

“There is no doubting Jason’s work ethic or his drive for success, but unfortunately that success has not been forthcoming over the past 12 months.

“We wish Jason, his wife Natalie and his daughters the very best of luck in the future and we thank him for his service to our Club over the past five-and-a-half years.”

Ben Hornby will take control of the team as Interim Head Coach for the remainder of the 2024 season.

The question is which one of them he'll be on the verge of having a scrap with by season end. Seems to happen everywhere he goes, and plenty of contenders at Souths

Whoever it is, they'll deserve it.

Hornby is now tipped to get the care taker role

Why would we care?

[Rick]

Because we are in desperate need of a half or second rower for the remainder of the year. Be nice if South’s footed the bill.

He’s made his choice. We need to move on. We have and we’re better for it.

Jack has probably been Souths best but that's more a reflection on how poor everyone else has been.

I just love that Souths fans don't seem to realise how bad their roster is. They assume because they are a "big club" they can fix it all with cash. Nowhere have I ever seen any discussion of what their cap situation might be, or why they might be overpaying for hacks - except on the Rugby League Eye Test, which points out why they are full of, in footy terms, ageing hacks.

But then Souths fans generally lack at least tow things... brains and teeth.

a real lack of self awareness in souths land, biggest cap grubs as far as I'm concerned.
GI medical retirement then played in super league, SBurgess medical retirement plus $350k a year non specified admin role for 3 years wanted to play super league, Wighton squeezed in on unders because he is a centre now picked in halves and suddenly have cash for Lewis Dodd despite extending players and losing nobody.
