My standard response to any of my raiders supporting friends (which is most of them) when they bag me out for being a Rabbitohs fan is to simply look at them and giggle.

I’m looking for a team to support in NRL and my mate was telling me about the Souths, the long history and tradition, the local roots, the classic shirt which has hardly changed in over 100 years. At last I thought…a club that isn’t manufactured, with a ridiculous name, and open to being shifted somewhere else.
Then he said their official name was the Rabbitohs. Huh…the freakin’ what?
That drags them back to the level of those blokes who play in pink.

Not sure waht you are getting at? The name is based on the blokes who used to sell rabbits around the streets of Redfern in the early 19th century. Not a Souths supporter by the way

That would be early 1900s

“Those blokes who play in pink”? You mean the Pretoria Bulls in the Super 15 rugby who won the comp in 2010? If the Brumbies could be “dragged … to that level” I – and everybody else in this town – would be very happy indeed. The good news is that with Jake White as coach that is beginning to happen.

Last year the Tigers came down and pumped the Raiders 49 – 12. After that game they talked about reviews and changes. What’s changed?

The Raiders are no longer capable of scoring 12 points

If the club has resorted to this- then it won’t be too long..

Not much. Still too much reliance on Campese, with no alternative main playmaker of NRL standard. With Campese on board and really firing they can dominate anyone, including the Tigers. Without, they are toast.

The giggle slowly turns into uncontrollable, rolling on the floor laughter. Raiders fans have no grounds to rip on anyone these days, even Rabbitohs fans.

Except for the fact that Souths haven’t won a comp since 1971.

And that Souths were kicked out of the competition. At which point all of their fans suddenly came out of the woodwork.
