'Dreaded' curse hanging over Rabbitohs star

The Bunnies have a squad more than capable of making the top four - and have finished fourth or better for the past five seasons… without picking up a premiership.South Sydney has class all over the paddock - but hasn't signed a single new face for 2023 and that rings alarm bells with me.As I wrote with Canberra earlier this week, you should always sign at least a couple of players to move forward - and all Souths' rivals have done so.The Rabbitohs have lost three members of their 2022 squad and have plenty of young talent coming through, but could have benefited from bringing in some experience… time will tell. 2022 finishing position: 7th. Biggest question mark - Halfback Lachlan Ilias was thrown in at the deep end last season, replacing club icon Adam Reynolds. He looked sharp at times - but beware the dreaded second year syndrome. Man under pressure - No player in the NRL comes under more scrutiny than Latrell Mitchell and his performances will be watched very closely by the critics week after week. A marvellous talent, but still learning the intricacies of the fullback spot and was caught out in defence on occasion last season.
