Ruckingooday mate you are either the social media manager for South’s or that person has been reading the forum because the ‘press release’ pretty much reads exactly as you’ve posted on this forum.

And you may have assumed that because I copied their FB post into my response - people didn't seem to know Rama. Great guy.

Absolutely. Dammers approach was to blood kids who he took to Colts success and bare short term pain for long term gain. When he got the chop they were on the verge of becoming a top 4 side and this is where they sat under Morgan’s reign.
From a total outsider with no vision - I think it is wrong to pile this all on Garrick where is a strong & considered board in all of this?
Souths still live in their golden era which was created by Phil White when he brought in the Downlands boys(including GM), Jason Little & then came along a few years behind them Kef - they all come together at the one time - a golden breed of players at the one club - coincidentally these are the guys at the heart of the Wallabies greatest era.
The position it finds itself is a product of decades of the board living in the past. Unfortunately the club yields what they have sowed.
I do know one thing for certain is that in about 2005 they outsourced the canteen - again I am not certain as to how the financial arrangements worked but hindsight might question that one decision.
We can all be experts in hindsight but let’s hope that the Souths RC gets back on its feet sooner rather than later.

I thought Peter Francis was the key to Horan, Little etc going to South when he coached the Australian Under 17 side in NZ that included them - and I thought Gary Bird was the Souths coach at the time.

Consistent problem for rugby clubs - to survive we all need strong boards and financial sustainability. Too many don't have what it takes. Some. clubs getting there quicker than others. And. some sports. getting there quicker than others. V'landys has done an outstanding job for NRL, where's our sport going?

I mean the NRL clubs have the benefit of decades longer professionalism and pokie money

With regard to Garrick Morgan, it would be for the best if this forum tried to avoid piling on him and speculating too much.

It's not my place to say more about the circumstances, but you'd hope for the same if it was your friend or family member.

Totally agree

Souths played well today they will get some good wins this year - good quality game for a trial in the heat.

Keen to hear commentary on Norths Uni

If that's Uni's team for the majority of the season before Super Rugby finishes, they're in trouble.
