Yep, the footy is back. It’s been a long off season. Looking forward to see how the Souths boys go in this game, particularly Cody being the captain. Will he step up? I hope so. Alex gets to show what he can do at fullback. Also pray that we get no injuries.

Rabbitohs Members and supporters will be familiar with Cody Walker, Alex Johnston and Dane Gagai playing in this Friday’s All Stars match, but the Club has a fourth All Star playing on the night – Kyara Nean.

How is Dane Gagai - a player that has represented Queensland then Australia and the Indigenous All Stars all of a sudden playing in the opposition team?

Am I missing something here?

Actually there are a few players in this team including Tamou.

Back to watching Spartacus!!

Anyone who thinks AJ is a fullback needs rooting.

One of the commentators posed the question “Will Alex Johnston wear the number 1 for Souths?” Hopefully not if his first two attempts at fielding kicks are any guide to how he’ll perform in the position.

His Mum is a Maori. I think Tamou is also a Maori.
