Oh Dear..

No doubt he ll be going back sooner or later but this is a bit miss leading and not Official is it ,

There's been a lot of rumour on here over the past few weeks. However this is a quality newspaper and which is unlikely to publish this sort of story without foundation...the last sentence in this article is more than a bit worrying...'he was being courted by several NRL clubs'..suggests he's been contacted by a few clubs over there and has plumped for Souths.

Always did like Russell Crowe

It s gonna happen , But its still coming from a newspaper and not the club ..

Let's face it, it's gonna happen. We all know it's gonna happen.

The best we can hope for is that he gives it everything he's got for the remainder of this season.

Interesting how there's no mention of Tony Smith being persued by anyone over there...wonder why that might be?

On second thoughts having watched an England side coached by Mr Smith fail dismally in the world cup not too long ago..think I might just have the answer

For me I would be disappointed if he went before his contract was up but not heartbreaking. We still have Waney!! TBH he came over only ever having been and assistant - he has proven hi9mself and now looking to be getting offers from one of the biggest clubs in NRL. Would you say no??

Suits me

I have heard also that Wayne Rooney is going to be signed for head of marketing and public relations at the Halliwell Jones, not sure if there is anything in it though. They need a tough one over there.

Tony Smith is English, that's why no NRL club wants him.

The Rabbitohs are in a partnership/relationship with Leeds too
