South Sydney Rabbitohs coach Michael Maguire backflips on Damien Cook dumping
By: Adrian Proszenko - JULY 20 2017 -
Embattled South Sydney coach Michael Maguire has backflipped after just one week on his shock decision to drop Damien Cook, recalling the livewire hooker for Friday night's
clash with Cronulla.
Cook travelled with the team last weekend to Cairns but was controversially omitted for the North Queensland encounter. The Rabbitohs went into that game with their season on
the line but decided the former Bulldogs rake was surplus to requirements.
The loss to the Cowboys has put more pressure on Maguire and the club, which is almost certain to miss out on the finals for a second straight season.
Cook has been one of Souths' most potent attacking weapons this season, his speed from dummy half earning him a City Origin call-up. He was even mooted as a contender for the
Blues No.9 jersey that had long been held by teammate Robbie Farah.

Burgess brothers commit crucial errors as Rabbitohs beaten by Cowboys
By: NICK WALSHAW, - The Daily Telegraph - July 16, 2017
ANOTHER loss. Another Burgess dropped ball.
And so the year for South Sydney slowly rolls on.
Unthinkable three years ago when they won the premiership, the Rabbitohs are now set to miss the playoffs for a second straight season after bumbling their way to another loss, this time against North Queensland in Cairns.
Worse, it was again at the hands, literally, of a Burgess.
Playing from in front after a try to livewire fullback Cody Walker, it was prop Tom Burgess who got under the subsequent Cowboys kick off, charged forward and ... spilled it.

South Sydney Rabbitohs star Greg Inglis opens up about battle with depression
By: MICHAEL CARAYANNIS EXCLUSIVE - The Sunday Telegraph - July 15, 2017
AN emotional Greg Inglis has told Fox League's Matthew Johns he is continuing to seek treatment for his battle with depression, revealing he
had therapy sessions up to four times a day.
In his first interview since admitting himself into a mental health facility in May, the Rabbitohs star opened up about the stigma felt by
players if they can't maintain the warrior-like image of an NRL star.
Inglis said he felt isolated from his South Sydney teammates due to the season-ending knee injury he suffered in round one and that tipped him
towards breaking point.

By: Michael Chammas - June 16, 2017 - Pic: Getty Images
Barnstorming South Sydney back-rower Angus Crichton stepped up in the absence of the injured Sam Burgess, bagging a hat-trick to lead the Rabbitohs to a come-from-behind victory on Friday night.
South Sydney overcame a disastrous opening to their clash against the Titans to keep their top-eight hopes alive at ANZ Stadium.
But it was the rampaging performance of Crichton that was the talk of the town, the 21-year-old terrorising the Titans to show why he has been earmarked as a future representative player.
"I've had a lot of time with Angus now," Rabbitohs coach Michael Maguire said.

Milford after he suffered a shoulder injury in Broncos win over Rabbitohs
By: Rikki-Lee Arnold, June 9, 2017 -
BEN Hunt's Broncos axing could be short-lived, with Anthony Milford looking at six weeks on the sideline after he dislocated his shoulder in Brisbane's gritty 24-18 win over South Sydney.
The star playmaker, who was instrumental in leading the Broncos to victory, suffered the injury just eight minutes out from fulltime, when he fell on his left arm while trying to dive on a loose ball.
He was shown just minutes later in the dressing rooms with his arm in a sling.
It was a sight no Broncos nor Queensland fan wanted to see.
Broncos coach Wayne Bennett confirmed afterwards Milford had dislocated the shoulder and was looking at six weeks out of the game, if not more.
"It will be a six week process at least," he said.
"We'll see where he is at the end of that and whether he can play the rest of the season

QUEENSLAND Origin and Newcastle Knights star Dane Gagai is on his way to Redfern after signing a four-year deal with South Sydney.
After Newcastle admitted their star outside back was leaving the club, the Rabbitohs have confirmed the Maroons star will join Michael Maguire's team next season on a deal that will take him to until at least the end of the 2021 season.
Gagai is regarded as one of the strike outside backs in the NRL, comfortable playing at centre, wing or fullback and Rabbitohs coach Michael Maguire is looking forward to adding his experience to the Bunnies' backline.
"Dane is one of the best outside backs in the competition and he has played plenty of football at the elite levels of the game in a variety of positions across the

Halfback Ben Hunt has been dropped from Brisbane's NRL clash with South Sydney on Friday night.
The star No.7 has been relegated to the second tier Queensland Cup in Ipswich this weekend after coach Wayne Bennett opted to start Kodi Nikorima at halfback.
Veteran Benji Marshall will be the Broncos' bench utility against the Rabbitohs at Suncorp Stadium.
Hunt will take up a lucrative St George Illawarra deal next year and appears to face an uphill battle to break back into the Broncos side again this season as

By: The Daily Telegraph - May 17, 2017 -
THE rugby league world has been rocked with revelations South Sydney star Greg Inglis has admitted himself into a western Sydney rehabilitation centre to deal with mental health issues.
It's understood the 30-year-old checked himself in 10 days ago and will remain in the clinic for three weeks after struggling with family issues.

Inglis' wife Sally recently moved out of their family home in Sydney's eastern suburbs to be closer to her family in Brisbane.
The injured South Sydney superstar couldn't go with her because of his knee rehabilitation treatment and assistant coaching role at the Rabbitohs.
