Established in 1908, the South Sydney Club has won 20 first grade premierships and provided 62 internationals for the Australian side, and have famously worn their cardinal red and myrtle green colours since inception. The rebirth of the Rabbitohs began on 7 June, 2006 through a new partnership between Russell Crowe, Peter Holmes a Court and the then 8000 Members of the Club. The Rabbitohs made the semi-finals for the first time in 18 years in 2007, and have strengthened their season ticketed Membership to over 6,500 with over 12,000 total members in 2008.

Source: www.souths.com.auRabbitohs halfback Craig Wing will undergo an arthroscopic shoulder reconstruction tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday) to repair damage to his left shoulder suffered during the Rabbitohs opening game of the season on Friday night.
Wing will miss the next three months of football after consultations with shoulder specialists today determined he would require surgery. Wing has suffered damage to the labrum, two ligaments and muscle tissue.
"I'm shattered that I need surgery, but to look on the bright side I'm told I should only miss three to four months of footy instead of what could have been five months, which is a positive," Wing said.
"I'm going to work hard to rehabilitate the injury after the surgery and make sure I'm 100% fit for a return mid-season.
"We have some great young talent in our squad and I'm sure they can do the job. These young guys did a great job getting the team to the finals last season so they have that experience which is only going to help them now.
"Errol (Alcott) and the Souths medical staff have been outstanding through all of this. Their treatment of me so far has been first class and it fills me full of confidence that the rehabilitation process will be just as professional and they will help me get back on the field.
"I'd like to thank all of the Rabbitohs Members and fans who've offered me support since the incident on Friday night and I'll be doing everything I can to get back on the field and help the boys win our share of games this year."The South Sydney Rabbitohs are the most successful Club in Rugby League. Established in 1908, the South Sydney Club has won 20 first grade premierships and provided 62 internationals for the Australian side, and have famously worn their cardinal red and myrtle green colours since inception. In 1925, South Sydney was dubbed 'The Pride of the League' and the Rabbitohs are known as this to this day. The rebirth of the Rabbitohs began on 7 June, 2006 through a new partnership between Russell Crowe, Peter Holmes a Court and the 8000 Members of the Club.
