Noah Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) Peats and Morgan to Debut for Rabbitohs This Friday 30 Mar 2011 South Sydney juniors Nathan Peats and Kane Morgan will make their NRL debuts this Friday night against the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles with Sam Burgess and Rhys Wesser being ruled out with injury. Morgan, a Maroubra Lions junior, will replace Wesser. Nathan Merritt will move to fullback with Morgan taking his place on the wing. Peats, a La Perouse junior and son of former Rabbitohs hooker Geordi Peats, will debut from the interchange bench with experienced back-rower Michael Crocker moving into the starting line up. Burgess' shoulder was deemed not to be ready for full contact in a game situation, with Wesser succumbing to a hamstring strain. Excited about this. Two of our brightest prospects getting a chance against a strong team. Edited March 31, 2011 by Chris Sandow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starvinho Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Apologies to Starvinho for stealing his coach. I really am gutted he is leaving, he has turned us back into a winning side again. I just hope that the early announcement doesn't effect the rest of our season, we have a Super League to defend before he leaves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 So is it true that his assistant is the most likely candidate to replace him so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starvinho Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Yeah his assistant Shaun Wane is favourite to replace him, either him or Shaun Edwards. I think Wane is the obvious choice though, he could hopefully just continue the good work that Maguire has started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 So it looks like my Rabbitohs are setting up a 2012 pre-season trial match against Warrington. Be nice to smash Morley's face in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 A few years ago, Chris Sandow got cut from the Gold Coast Titans, due to bad behaviour. Nobody else wanted him but we were willing to give him a chance. We constantly stuck by him through the last few years, even when many wanted us to drop him to the lower grades(or even sack him). Now when he finally starts to show the form we knew he was always capable of, he buggers off to another club. A bit of loyalty, wouldn't go astray, considering the circumstances, However I do understand it was a huge offer and he'd have been stupid not to take it. Fair enough and I do accept that. However don't feed us some bullshit line about how it's not about the money. I would have respected him a whole lot more if he'd been honest and admitted it was about the money.

phatman Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Yeah I gotta say, saying that the deal wasn't about the money was the stupidest thing he could have said about the deal... Parramatta is going to vastly overpay him at $550,000 a season... I would have taken the deal as well, he wouldn't get that kind of money at any other team, so why not... I don't even think he is a good player to start with and I hate Parramatta, so I'm more than happy for this deal to go through lol... Souths reaction to the deal was pretty amazing and very unprofessional as well, very funny stuff lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noah Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Russell Crowe is a bit of a dick The actual amount though is being reported as being anywhere from $400 000 to $550 000(and many points inbetween). Hell of a lot for a half that's only now, starting to live up to his potential and with no guarantee if he will keep this up and continue to grow as a player. I actually do rate him but unless Parramatta strengthen their team in a lot of key positions, I don't see him being able to thrive in that environment.

Starvinho Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Pat Richards signs new two-year Wigan Warriors contract Reigning Man of Steel Pat Richards has signed a new two-year contract with Super League champions Wigan. The 29-year-old Australian, who joined Wigan from Wests Tigers in 2006, had been linked with a move to rugby union side Sale or a return to the NRL. Instead, the goal-kicking winger will stay at the DW Stadium for the 2012 and 2013 seasons. "I am pleased that my immediate future has now been sorted and I am thrilled to be staying with Wigan," he said. "My family and I have thoroughly enjoyed our time in the UK, which we now call home, and with the Wigan club. "2010 was a magnificent year for me, both individually and for the club, and I am hoping to play a major part in bringing more success to our magnificent fans over the next couple of years." Richards was a key figure in Wigan's success last season, scoring 32 tries and kicking 167 goals as they won both the League Leaders' Shield for topping Super League and the Grand Final. He missed the start of this season after tearing his Achilles tendon in the 22-10 Grand Final victory over St Helens at Old Trafford in October. This is the best news for us all season! We miss him when he doesn't play especially his kicking which is in my opinion the best in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 I used to really rate Pat Richards when he played in Australia so it's nice to see him doing really well over there. (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason id want him on an RL pitch again is to see him get smashed... the man has got as much dignity as i have cash... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starvinho Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Wigan Warriors hand Gareth Hock five-year contract Wigan have handed a new five-year contract to England forward Gareth Hock, who is to resume playing in June after serving a drugs ban. Suspended for nearly two years after testing positive for cocaine, the 27-year-old was recently given permission by UK Anti-Doping to resume training. Wigan chairman Ian Lenagan said: "The deal is contingent upon his continuing exemplary performance. "We are all looking forward to seeing him again next month in a Wigan shirt." Hock failed a test for Benzoylecgonine, a metabolite of cocaine, after Wigan's win over Salford on 5 June 2009 and his last match was for England against France in Paris a week later. He has been back in training for just over a month and is set to make the transition from second row to prop when he makes his comeback, which is expected to be in the Super League match against Huddersfield at the DW Stadium on 24 June. Hock's new deal takes him to the end of the 2015 season. More excellent news for the mighty Warriors, just hope he stays clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Richards' return has been key for us, his kicking is so valuable and he's starting to chip in with tries again, he scored 26 points tonight.
