Can Russell and Peter pull a Bunny out of their hat?
South Sydney Rabbitohs Off Season News Snippets:-
* They have spent the money, got the players, but can Souths finally shake off their third successive wooden spoon? In coming recruits Roy Asotasi, David Kidwell, Nigel Vagana, Dean Widders, Jeremy Smith, Daniel Irvine and Reece Simmonds will look to herald a new era of success in the Refern club, with five of those recruits hoping to again taste the thrill of grand final day.
* Controversially sacked as head coach at the end of the 2006 season, Shaun McRae has this week resigned from the South Sydney club, just months after taking up a coaching and operations football with the club.
Mc Rae, who had limited player resources at his disposal throughout 2006, was offered the administrative position after the club announced that rookie first grade Parramatta coach, Jason Taylor, would lead the side in 2007.
Mc Rae has stated that he would like to pursue media and other coaching oppurtunities in the future, but for now will just assess his offers before making a decision.
South Sydney Rabbitohs confirmed 2007 Trial Matches:-
February 24 - Souths VS Cronulla Sharks @ ?
March 3 - Souths VS St George-Illawarra Dragons @ ?

What is it exactly that you are sceptical about? Souths changing or, the leary colours accompanying this post?

Not that I want to get your hopes up, but on paper, Souths have a fair side.
This is their potentail line-up:-
1. David Peachey
2. Nathan Merritt
3. Nigel Vagana
4. Germaine PAulson
5. Shannon Hegarty
6. Beau Champion
7. Jeremy Smith
8. Peter Cuscak
9. Daniel Irvine
10. Roy Asotasi
11. Dean Widdres
12. David Kidwell
13. John Sutton
14. David Fa'alogo
15. Joe Galuvao
16. Manese Manuokafoa
17. Stuart Webb
That side has a heavy emphasis on Pacific Islander genetics, so look for a much more powerful and speedy Bunnies side in 2007!

Dare I say that you actually like the look of your 2007 side on paper?
Better hope that injury witch stays away from your club this year though!

You have a good point - I am afraid I overlooked Simmonds from the Bunnies gains and losses. Souths will probably get better value out of Hegarty in the centres - they have really wasted their money by playing him out on the wing in seasons past.
