Bunnies backflip as Bennett warms to signing De Belin

The Rabbitohs have renewed their bid to sign Dragons veteran Jack de Belin after he put Wayne Bennett's Dolphins to the sword on Sunday. The Rabbitohs expressed interest in de Belin weeks ago but then dropped off due to salary cap issues. But the powerhouse prop gave incoming Bunnies coach Wayne Bennett a close-up look at his strength and class at Kogarah. The 33-year-old was the best front-rower on the field as the Dragons downed Bennett's Dolphins 26-6. De Belin scored a try and made valuable yards up the middle to strengthen his case for a deal at Souths. But his hopes will depend on the cap - and whether Souths can offload halfback Lachlan Ilias, who has been given permission to negotiate with rival clubs. The Dragons are still keen to re-sign de Belin, while there is also interest in his services in Super League.
