Big congratulations to Souths for reaching the top of the ladder with a hard-fought win over the Raiders in Canberra, 16-12.

We have now seen three rounds of the season. Souths are looking good.

All right, it’s time to get excited about the footy. The NRL season kicks off this month, and things are looking good for the Rabbitohs.

It was a tight contest this year, and our mighty Red and Green team did us proud.

Fans of both teams were buzzing with excitement, trading friendly taunts as to who was going to win. I went to ANZ Stadium with...

The footy’s back! You can just feel it in the air. You can see it on the faces of fans keen for the Rabbitohs to rebound strongly after disappointments in 2016.

The SSH gets to know the real Michael Maguire, who led the Souths to victory in 2014

Souths supporters at Allianz Stadium were stunned by a train wreck of major proportions – the derailment of Souths’ 2015 season.

It’s not that he has no competition for the mantle of Souths’ greatest. Many will claim that it’s the Little Master Clive Churchill or...

At the end of June 2014 South Sydney were perched on 20 points. Their form had been mixed. A handful of impressive wins, some gritty yet unspectacular displays, a smattering of luck-ridden wins and some not so impressive losses. Sounding familiar?

For the first few weeks of the competition it looked like Souths had started the way they had finished in 2014 and were perhaps even a little better than they were in 2014. With new recruit Glenn Stewart’s ball playing skills giving a new dimension on the right edge, and Adam Reynolds’ kicking and running game reaching a new level, a lot of the early talk was about the very elusive holy grail of back-to-back premierships.

What do you do after you win a premiership? Change the captain of course. Then get a new CEO. And begin the season by winning every trophy in sight.

South Sydney supporters talk about their love for the red and green.

REDFERN: “Glory, glory to South Sydney! Glory, glory to South Sydney!” The chant was heard throughout Souths’ training session at Redfern Oval on September 23. On Friday September 26 the chant would be louder and prouder. The Rabbitohs would defeat the Roosters to be the first team to qualify for the 2014 NRL premiership decider.

The South Sydney Rabbitohs have capped off an incredible journey to become the 2014 NRL premiers and indisputably reclaim their title as “the pride of the league”.

South Sydney has seen its fair share of battles. Since its beginnings at a public meeting in Redfern Town Hall in 1908, the club has experienced both the dizzying highs of victory and the crushing lows of defeat. But what has always remained constant throughout the Rabbitohs’ 106-year history is the team’s fighting spirit – both on and off the field.

For most of the season Souths have looked anything but premiers. Woeful displays against North Queensland and the Titans in the last few weeks...

It’s strange to feel empty and dissatisfied when your team has just won a game. It’s even weirder when your team achieves the rare feat of keeping the opposition scoreless, for the first time in decades. But that is exactly the feeling many Souths fans had after the Monday night victory over Cronulla [May 26].

The Rabbitohs are on top of the table going into round 20 but the question is whether they can go all the way. The SSH took to Redfern Park to interview some of the youngest fans and find out how they are finding the season so far.

Just as they were in the 1960s and ’70s, Souths are firmly entrenched at the top of the league table. Just like the ’60s...

ALEXANDRIA: Robert Bruce, Acting Principal of Alexandria Park Community School, spoke recently about the initiative to create community gardens within an inner-city school. He said: “A lot of our kids live in the local area and do not have access to gardens in their home environment.”

Wake me up, I’m dreaming! The Rabbitohs are starting the season as one of the premiership favourites. And unlike previous years this talk is not just coming from deluded supporters on an annual season preview drinks session. There is nothing romantic or wishful in this talk. It’s being made by a multitude of sane and objective observers. And it’s hard to disagree that the Rabbitohs have got a big chance this year.

To the true rugby league tragic, summer is the most boring time of the year – no footy, no pies, no yelling at the refs!

Saturday 9th February saw the Rabbitohs kick off their 2013 season with the fifth annual Return to Redfern match. This year the locals took on the Papua New Guinea Residents XIII in a 38-12 point victory at Redfern Oval.

Back in February, before the season started, with great trepidation the SSH predicted Souths to finish sixth in 2012. We also commented that much of Souths’ fortune would hinge on the young half Adam Reynolds and the form of John Sutton at five-eighth.

July can be a cold and miserable month. The passing of solstice and the beginning of winter’s chilliest period has so often marked the unofficial end of Souths.

Well, this is unfamiliar territory for Souths supporters. It’s July and the Rabbitohs are still very much in this competition. After a slow start,...
