2022 - The Cyber View from the Hill

2nd February 2022

A New Year Begins

So we go into another uncertain covid year. Vacinations have been the order of the off season. Omicron variant, while milder than the Gamma variant has seen cases explode across the community. The rugby league community has not been immune. The Rabbitohs squad has had 88% of its squad register a positive result over the summer. With the loss of Reynolds, Gagai, Su'A, Marshall and Bennett it will be a new look team with a rookie coach, to takeover our Grand Finalist team. Trials will play a big part into 2022 with a halfback, centre and second row spot up for grabs. Let the 2022 show begin.

Captain Murray

Congratulations to our new club captain Cameron Murray. He has a very cool head and led our junior teams in past years and well as junior NSW teams. Its a big responsibility and he will set a new leadership style for the team with his work ethic. Looking forward to seeing his lead from the front.

Women Junior Reps Return

2022 sees the return of our women pathways. Its a very important step forward in our ability to forge our way into the NRLW competition. Back in 2017 and 2018 our Tarsha Gale Cup team participated in the 9s format, in 2022 the competition has evolved into a proper 13-a-side format. Welcome back to our girls in this W-U19s competition.

Blackcourt expands

The biggest news in the off-season has been our off-field successes. In November we welcomed Cannon-Brookes into the Rabbitoh fold as he became a 1/3rd owner of Blackcourt. Other than being a devoted Souths fan, this guy is huge in the corporate world. To put his finances onto perspective he has a greater net-worth that Murdoch. He will bring a new fresh approach and long term financial stability. The big end of town is now clearly here.
