South Sydney Rabbitohs coach Anthony Seibold to use Google, Harvard to prepare for head-coaching gig
By: Adam Pengilly - SEPTEMBER 7 2017 - Photo: AAP
Anthony Seibold still keeps copies of the Wayne Bennett-inspired handwritten game plans that he once scribbled down at his parents' place in Rockhampton. He hasn't looked at them in a while, but hasn't thrown them out either.
Seibold was doing a teaching degree at the time, wading his way as a player through the Broncos' system - a team he freely admits he was "infatuated" with - when he thought there had to be a way to keep some of the super-coach's teachings. So he wrote some notes.
There's book smarts, and then there's street smarts. The new Rabbitohs coach and university-qualified Seibold hasn't so much as learned the rugby league teaching manual, he's basically good enough to re-write it.
Which is why when Google doesn't uncover much about Seibold, it shouldn't b

Rabbitohs ease past Bulldogs
By: Martin Gabor, National Correspondent??, ???NRL.com - Aug 10, 2017
Having finished with a bang last week, it didn't take the Rabbitohs long to pick up from where they'd left off with Bryson Goodwin strolling over untouched to give the hosts the lead inside six minutes.
Both sides missed golden opportunities to crack the line with Aaron Gray held up when he looked certain to score while Sam Burgess produced a terrific try-saver to deny Josh Reynolds at the other end.
That would prove to be the five-eighth's final involvement for the night with Reynolds forced from the field moments later with a calf injury.
The news got worse for Des Hasler's men when former Bulldog Damien Cook sliced through the markers and linked up with Alex Johnston to send the fullback to the top of the try-scorer list.

South Sydney Rabbitohs in another loss this time to Raiders 32-18
By: David Polkinghorne - JULY 30 2017 - Picture: AAP
Canberra Raiders debut means Michael Oldfield's move from Penrith Panthers already a success
Scoring on his Canberra Raiders debut means his mid-season switch from Penrith is already a success, but winger Michael Oldfield knows he faces a tough task to keep his spot
in the 13 with Jordan Rapana returning from suspension.
Oldfield crossed to score a spectacular try in the Raiders' 32-18 victory over South Sydney on Saturday to have the unusual statistic of scoring in his two NRL games for two
different clubs against the same club this season.
The 26-year-old scored in his only appearance for the Panthers in 2017 - against the Rabbitohs at Penrith in round six - before repeating the dose at ANZ Stadium.

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.

Grand Angus: Crichton hat-trick gets Rabbitohs out of jail
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
