Barrett needs reliable players, Roberts will let you down and be another Foran in the rehab room.

You'd think if the Bunnies sign JAC (actually even if they don't), then given his form Corey Allan may want to explore what is out there.

He would be on a fairly low contract so if we can slightly better that and provide a starting FB role, we may be able to entice him. Obviously not as good as Teddy, but plays similar (try on the weekend shows that) and is much more proven than Staines.

2 DWZ
3 Hoppa
4 Cotric
5 Reimis
6 Averillo
7 Burton

That doesn't look too bad?

Too much baggage for me. The off field things scare me. Just this year he's had personal leave at least once. He'd be perfect for the Super League.

Allan has been impressive at FB. IMO, he has improved South's consistency in attack as compared to a few magic touches from Latrell

Souths are playing better because Allan actually does his job and allows Reynolds and especially Walker to play their best footy. Latrell was never going to succeed at fullback and just throws the chemistry off...surprising that someone as experienced as Bennett would make such a dumb decision and hurt the team. Latrell at 5/8 in a Wighton type role would've made far more sense, even then it's unlikely to come off considering how inactive Latrell is for large parts of play.

Allan has been very good, if you remember he came to souths with huge wraps on him from Brisbane.
ive been impressed by him but he is no rock star signing

Please explain to me how the bunnies could afford to sign JAC

Nasheed here,
just sign him cheaply as winger for speed.

250 plus 50 from rabbits. then discard him when his legs stiffen

That works to our advantage.

If he doesnt play well, we can just wait till he fucks up then punt him.

Its like we could hire him on a casual contract yo.
