I heard this aswell, Good on them though. They are smart for chasing someone that's young and has great potential. But Most Likely, he may suffer from second year syndrome like Daniel Mortimer.
 
Rabbitohs Re-sign Five Players
07 May 2010

The South Sydney Rabbitohs have extended the contracts of five players today.


The Rabbitohs have re-signed front-rower Scott Geddes and back-rower Shannan McPherson for a further two years, and have extended the contracts of Shaune Corrigan and Chris McQueen for a further season as well.


The Rabbitohs have also secured the services of young gun Tyrone Ranuku-Phillips who starred in South Sydney’s Harold Matthews side this season.


Geddes, 29, will extend his tenure at the Rabbitohs to 11 seasons after signing on for 2011 and 2012. Geddes is one of two players to have stayed with the Rabbitohs since re-instatement in 2002, the other being fellow forward Luke Stuart. Geddes has played 108 first grade games to date, all in the cardinal and myrtle of South Sydney.


McPherson, 24, has also extended his contract at his junior club for seasons 2011 and 2012. McPherson has continued to develop into a consistent first-grader for the Rabbitohs over the past six seasons after making his debut in 2005 as a 19-year-old. McPherson has played 61 first grade games to date, all with South Sydney.


Corrigan, 22, made his debut in round one of the 2009 season after impressing everyone with his pre-season form. Shaune played four first grade games before suffering a season-ending knee injury. Corrigan is ready to play again after having an operation for compartment syndrome after this year’s pre-season matches, and will be fighting to regain the first grade jersey he earned last year.


McQueen, 22, also debuted last season, scoring a try in his first NRL match. A knee-injury sustained last season, and re-injured this year, will see him miss the entire 2010 season, making him even hungrier to regain a first grade position in 2011.


Ranuku-Phillips, 16, represented the NSW Indigenous under 16’s side earlier this year and has been selected in the NSW under 16’s possibles vs probables match. He scored 13 tries in this year’s Harold Matthews competition across ten matches played.


Rabbitohs CEO Shane Richardson says it is a positive that the Club has been able to retain all of these players.


“These five players see a positive future at our Club and that’s why they have elected to stay with us,” Mr Richardson said.


“Scott and Shannan are becoming a real one-two punch for us when they are on the field together and we see both of these players as part of our forward pack moving ahead over the next two-and-a-half seasons. They are in career best form and we believe they will continue to improve over the next two years. Their loyalty to the Club deserves recognition.


“Shaune and Chris both have fantastic attitudes to their football and their preparation and both are very positive influences to have around the Club. They are both young up-and-coming players who showed us their potential with their first grade appearances last year and we’re looking forward to having them back on the field as players to look out for in the years to come.”


“Tyrone is an outstanding young talent coming through the South Sydney juniors’ rep teams and we are confident that he will become a first grader with our Club in the future. He has wonderful skills, a sharp football brain and he is one player our Members should keep an eye on.”

Warriors sign Parramatta's Feleti Mateo and Krisnan Inu to three-year NRL deals
By staff writers May 10, 2010
The Warriors have boosted their roster for the 2011 NRL season by signing Parramatta players Feleti Mateo and Krisnan Inu to three-year contracts.

Warriors chief executive Wayne Scurrah rated the signings as among the club's best to date. Stand-in captain Michael Luck was also re-signed for a further two seasons.

"On the back of re-signing Micheal Luck for another two years today and also securing Steve Rapira from North Queensland, this represents a huge boost for the club for next year and beyond," Scurrah said.

"It's a real tribute to Dean Bell and the work he has done as our recruitment manager that we’ve been able to sign two such high-quality players ahead of other clubs who were interested."

Warriors coach Ivan Cleary said the signings of Mateo and Inu represented major progress in the club's recruitment strategy.

"Keeping Lucky was critical and being able to now confirm new signings like Feleti and Krisnan - as well as Steve Rapira - gives us a lot of confidence as we look forward," he said.

"Feleti and Krisnan will add real quality and depth to our playing squad with their ability to slot into a number of positions."

"After signing high-profile players like Ruben (Wiki), Steve (Price) and Brent (Tate) from Australian clubs in recent years, it's encouraging for us as a club that we've succeeded in attracting Feleti and Krisnan to make the move."
